(CNN)Texas A&M has canceled a white nationalist protest planned in September, citing safety concerns.
White nationalists, neo-Nazis and other extremist groups had planned to hold a "white lives matter" rally at Texas A&M on September 11. The school canceled the rally Monday evening "because of concerns about the safety of its students, faculty, staff, and the public." Richard Spencer, the white supremacist who helped found the so-called alt-right movement, was set to speak at the event, according to the Battalion, Texas A&M's student newspaper.

Agreed, but so many here believe the right will take up arms if it becomes necessary. I am just trying to determine how many freedoms they think we have to lose before it actually comes to that.
Should it even TRY?
“That’s like saying the Luther League should ask permission to rally in Mecca.”?
Obviously, the white nationalist want to get their message out there.
What better way to get their message out their then to be invited to hold a rally at Prairie View A&M?
When will people talk about getting down on knees — before God?
Antifa is able to do that because in sloth before God we let the supernatural demons empowering it become comfortable among us.
Timmy is just a “hit and then leave” stinking TROLL, who tries to take of threads. All he or she ever does is throw a Molotov cocktail, stays for a 1 to 3 posts and then flees.
What point of mine on this thread do you disagree with?
The law is on Spencer’s side here, but Charlottsville demonstrated that the law is empty and meaningless: they had a federal court order for the rally, but the state of Virginia simply ignored it. And no one has been hauled up before the judge for it. Same will happen here. Spencer will sue. He’ll win. And Texas will just ignore it.
Your assumption that some group at a black college would sponsor this “talk’/rally; for starters.
“That is not the case at Texas A&M.”
TAMU is a taxpayer funded public institution which means they’re bound by the bill or rights as much as any government agency. But as I just posted, it won’t matter. The law is empty after there was no contempt of court order for the state of Virginia.
“Your assumption that some group at a black college would sponsor this “talk’/rally; for starters.”
Do you think the White Nationalists would accept an invitation to hold a rally at Prairie View A&M?
If not, why not?
And if they are unwilling to speak everywhere, why should they be listened to anywhere?
Ah it isn’t about a point, Timmy. It’s about being Wrong or Right. Get with the game. Adulthood itself has been newly defined for you.
(Really sometimes I feel like Voltaire. I’d rather see wrong things claimed, which must be debated, than to see it made about this person or that person’s Status.)
Well ok, at least we can debate about this. I don’t think even our Founders believed that, prior to a successful revolutionary war, they could saunter into any old place and orate about their views. First things first.
Being invited by the university or a student group is a reasonable expectation for any one outside of the campus to come and speak or hold a rally.
Now, perhaps a group of Aggies will form a student group and hold a white nationalist rally on the campus.
However, I think that if such a student group were to be formed on the Texas A&M campus, that the Battalion or other news organization would publish the names of they students who filed the paperwork to form the organization.
That’s part of open records and that’s the First Amendment.
The First Amendment means you have the Right to Speak.
It does not give you the Right to an audience.
We are going to need another revolutionary war of sorts before this is wise. At the least, we should be prepared for a rumble.
Or, a kindly audience.
All they have to do is form a student group at Texas A&M.
In fact, here it is, a link to the site where any Texas A&M student can form a student organization.
Only if you let the left define who you are. I don’t.
