A Pennsylvania lawmaker on Tuesday issued what free speech advocates are calling a veiled threat to withhold funding from the University of Pittsburgh over the school's decision to allow several conservative speakers on campus.
During an appropriations hearing on university funding, Pennsylvania state representative La'Tasha Mayes (D.) demanded that Pitt disinvite Cabot Phillips, Riley Gaines, and Michael Knowles from upcoming campus events. All three speakers have a history of "targeting transgender students," Mayes claimed—especially Knowles, whom she accused of saying that "transgender people should be eradicated."

Conservative leadership was foolish to cede the colleges to the left. Voters were told to "take the high road" and not to object since that communist culture was just on campuses. Well, guess what? It escaped and is now everywhere.
Voltaire weeps.
For those old enough, remember when colleges had no problem letting Communists give speeches?
Now the Communists are in charge and they’re singing a different tune.
“She” should just get her butt back to Africa!
The University should do their own investigation into these claims and determine if true or not. I suspect they are not but I've never heard of any of the three "accused" people.
If no evidence is found to support Mayes' claims...or evidence is found that she is lying...they could just politely tell her to go bark at the moon.
Riley Gaines is a woman college swimmer, who spoke out against the transgender who calls himself “Lia Thomas”, who is a biological male who has won many women’s swim meets against actual females.
I doubt the school will budge.
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center never had a mask mandate.
On top of that they told the governor to pound sand and continued elective surgeries.
Every governor had better take note.
Every state that takes money from Fedzilla to balance and/or pad its budget is at Deep State’s mercy.
And Deep State has shown it doesn’t have any.
Is this one a tranny? I wouldn't be surprised.
Ah...thanks.
LaTasha. Lol.
That freedom of speech things is still worth fighting to save.
Without it we have very little left.
“Stalin Five Year Replacement Tractor Plan Brings Triumphs for Workers.”
Pravda.
Give politicians unlimited printed, fiat money, unlimited debt, and unlimited taxing power - and they will ALL turn to fascists/marxists.
” Those college students we see rioting in law schools now will be our future representatives in our state legislatures.”
Makes you think of how those 1960’s radicals wound up in charge of our government.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
“La’Tasha Mayes...”
Let me guess...
Pennsylvania deserves what it elected including the dead guy, Festerburg, and this clown! Must be the sulfur in that river flowing through the burg.....
Looks like BB King and Whoopi Goldberg had a love child.
