College Democrats at U. Oklahoma Demand Cancellation of Ann Coulter Speech
“The College Democrats at the University of Oklahoma call on TPUSA to cancel their event with Ann Coulter to protect the well-being of the community”
It’s a funny thing. You almost never hear of the College Republicans making demands like this on a left wing speaker. It always goes in the same direction.
The College Fix reports:
College Democrats demand Ann Coulter speech be canceled, say it threatens students’ ‘well-being’
The College Democrats at the University of Oklahoma want to cancel an upcoming speech by conservative commentator Ann Coulter.
Coulter is slated to speak at the public university on November 5, just two days after the presidential election, according to the student paper the OU Daily.
This event drew the criticism of the school’s College Democrats.
“The College Democrats at the University of Oklahoma call on TPUSA to cancel their event with Ann Coulter to protect the well-being of the community,” the press release said.
Anna Hayes, the club’s president, urged “all members of the OU community to stand together against any representation of hate or bigotry” on campus.
The College Democrats also used coronavirus as an excuse for their call-to-cancel. It said that holding a “large, in-person event is irresponsible.”
“Making the choice to not only host an event jeopardizing the safety of the OU community, but to do so in order to amplify a voice of hate, is profoundly concerning,” the group said.
It also wants TPUSA, in addition to cancelling the event, to “denounce white supremacy and bigotry” in the community.
A petition started by Jack MacKay, a student at OU, also called for a cancellation of the Coulter event.
The Change.org petition, which has fewer than 300 signatures, echoed the College Democrats’ argument that the event is unsafe due to coronavirus and also would upset students on campus.

Why don’t the College Democrats demand their own followers to behave, so the well-being of students isn’t threatened?
The College Democrats are a microcosm of Democrats in general.
The First Amendment has been a target of Democrats for several years. They want to constrain freedom of speech to include only their own viewpoints, calling other viewpoints “hate speech.” They have no respect for freedom of religion, with Dem governors shutting down church services while they encourage protests and riots.
Democrats hate the Second Amendment, with many openly demanding its repeal. Hillary, Biden, Harris, Sanders, and most of the other prominent Dems want to infringe on the Second Amendment until it is unrecognizable. I’m sure the College Democrats also want to destroy this part of the Bill of Rights.
I wonder how long it will be until the Democrats want to abolish the Third Amendment. I wonder if any of the College Democrats even know what the Third Amendment protects us against.
Once again, AntiFA is not about AntiFAcism, it’s all about AntiFirstAmendment for those who don’t toe the Democrat Socialist line. Why would they want your opinion in a dictatorship?
They must have proper well-being to harass and cancel out others, as if by any means necessary.
Perfect Example of how in even very conservative states, their colleges have been taken over by Communist administrations and faculty for about 20 years now.
Why wouldn’t the Democrats want Ann Coulter , she has gone total Never Trumpet!!
Never Trumper please
The Left needs to be reminded of their stance on abortion and access to abortion clinics – If you don’t want one, don’t have one, but don’t try to control the choices or body of others… This is exactly the same thing. If you don’t want to hear Ann Coulter speak, then don’t go hear her speak, but don’t try to control the choices or the body of others by shutting down access. Let them TRY to argue with that.
But you know they would argue it. The little Nazis want absolute control. They want to defund the police so they can fund the SS. WW2 style Jewish death camps will likely pop up in the US. These Democrat Socialists want the total destruction of anyone who does not completely toe their line. Wonder what they will do if they eliminate all American patriots? They won’t have to worry about the free stuff at that point. There won’t be anyone earning anything to buy or produce it!
SOP reply: “But but but you’re just a trumpnazi who couldn’t possibly understand my argument so I won’t even try.”
