Claremont Colleges, a consortium of undergraduate and graduate liberal arts colleges in Claremont, California

That says it all.

Any University President that does not deploy campus and outside police to ensure free speech rights should be identified and held accountable in multiple ways.

Agreed, so long as "multiple ways" includes firing. That deployment was simply a cell phone call away.

Ideas can be frightening to the weak minded... and a threatening to the unprincipled...

In another lifetime I almost went to Claremont Men’s College. But I was on an alternate scholarship list and couldn’t afford it. So I headed to UC Santa Barbara on an President’s Scholarship.

The first home I bought was in Claremont and I live in the next door city of Upland. It was nice before the leftists took over.

I once had my own personal protest at the Claremont Colleges when rapist defender Susan Estrich spoke -— http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1513831/posts

Stop labeling normal people as “conservatives” unless you also label loons as “liberals”.

The students probably checked Google and found the speaker was going to spread lies.

Yet another example where liberal democrats are exempt from laws/rules/common courtesy...?

Claremont has a number of colleges with Claremont McKenna being the most conservative

CMC is no longer conservative...at all. A real shift occurred when Jack Stark stepped down as resident of the school in the late 90's. Pamela Gann became president and the move toward the left started. The new president, Chodosh, is only moving the school further left.

It's been one embarrassing moment after another (Kerri Dunn, inflated SAT scores, the booing of the Asian girl, and now this) for us alumni.

Thankfully, my kids didn't want to go there as I would have never paid for it.

“This is how Lenin and company came to power.”

The protesters are a lot like the Brownshirts, too. They mob and threaten people.

These students are particularly dumb for being so “smart”. They have bought into the notion that if people are silenced, their ideas die. Those suffocated ideas take on a life of their own. If conservative ideas are so very threatening, they should tackle them head on using logic and common discourse. The power that these snowflakes surrender to their emotions is pitiful. The next generation is full of weak blobs of “feelings”. They will make great targets for Islamo-fascism.

Stop all grants, funds, and subsidies to ALL universities and colleges...Let them live or die through their own resources just as do most American families...

Either you make it or you fold...Those that make it will be great schools...Those that don’t deserve to just go away....

When did their right to ‘peacefully protest’ become more important than other peoples right to ‘peacefully assemble’?
The police are allowing peoples rights to be trampled here.
