College Cancels Debate After Students Protest Inclusion of Bill Whittle
“accused by some students of being a white supremacist”
Bill Whittle is one of the finest political commentators of our time but he’s not a progressive and that’s a big problem for some students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Campus debate canceled after students protest conservative panelist
A debate co-organized by the College Republicans and College Democrats at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has been canceled after students protested the involvement of conservative pundit Bill Whittle, accusing him of racism and Islamophobia.
Whittle, who was invited by the Cal Poly College Republicans to take part in a “Fake News Panel: What is it and who decides,” has been accused by some students of being a white supremacist, prompting outrage that ultimately led to the event being canceled after panelists and organizers began to back out.
“The organizers of the Feb. 13 Fake News Panel at Cal Poly have decided collectively to cancel the event following continued withdrawals and uncertainty surrounding the participation of the announced panelists,” said campus spokesman Matt Lazier in an email to The College Fix.
“The intent of the program was to bring together a wide variety of perspectives on the topic. However, organizers decided this was no longer possible with the continued withdrawals, including those of the Republican and Democrat clubs’ respective panelists,” Lazier said.

…dang!
How utterly ironic and yet perversely appropriate that “students protested the involvement of conservative pundit Bill Whittle, accusing him of racism and Islamophobia” while providing absolutely zero, zilch, nada, nuttin’ as evidence, providing themselves worthy exemplars of the WHAT and WHO in the title of the cancelled discussion:
“Fake News Panel: What is it and who decides.”
These Progressive Snowflake, verbal Molotov-cocktail-throwing wretches embody a sniveling mass of inhumanity that even Bill Maher recently described as “emotional hemophiliacs” that everyone else on the planet needs to be very careful not to upset.
Once again, the tyranny of the ill-tempered, intellectually fragile few.
Bill is too good for their little minds to handle.
Argh…cognitive dissonance…space to destroy….argh
Alas, they don’t qualify for a condition of “cognitive dissonance” since the very term implies the pre-existence of a state of cognition, which, alas, far too many of them have yet to attain.
If yo go to the original article then you will see that is wasn’t actually a “mutual” decision. The left side of the table found out that Bill was going to be there and crapped their collective panties and started to pull out so the right side had no choice but to cancel as well.
Can’t really blame them, I wouldn’t want to be on the opposite side as Bill, I mean who wants to go into this stuff knowing they are gonna get their butts kicked.
