Stanford U. Student Senate Funding School’s Matt Walsh Protesters

Stanford U. Student Senate Funding School’s Matt Walsh Protesters

“endorses counter protest efforts that support trans and queer students”

Walsh is supposed to make an appearance at the school in March, but the left can’t deal.

The College Fix reports:

Stanford student senate allocates thousands of dollars to fund Matt Walsh protesters

Protests against conservative firebrand Matt Walsh’s appearance at Stanford University in March will be supported by funding from the student senate, which officially opposes the event.

Walsh’s visit, part of his “What is a Woman?” campus lecture tour, will be hosted by the Stanford College Republicans in conjunction with Young America’s Foundation.

The Undergraduate Senate “pledges to reserve an additional $1,000 of our discretionary funding alongside with Stanford Student Enterprises’ pledge of $2000 in support of counter programming,” according to the resolution. Student Enterprises is a related organization that exists to “support the [student government].”

The student senate wants the campus to know it “endorses counter protest efforts that support trans and queer students and will actively work to support planned events in support of the queer community on campus during this event.”

It did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The College Fix in the past six weeks. The Fix asked what specific counter events are being planned and for more information on the funding approval for the Walsh speech.

The Stanford Republicans also received money from the student senate to host Walsh’s visit. This is because “denials of grants based on the content of speakers could lead to immense legal consequences,” as well as complaints filed with the group’s Constitutional Council, which could take money away from “counter protests,” according to the resolution.

YAF’s “What is a Woman” tour is based on a movie of the same name by the Daily Wire host. The documentary explores the problems of gender ideology and transgenderism.

“Throughout Matt Walsh’s YAF-sponsored tour, student governments and campus bureaucrats have repeatedly tried to derail our events,” YAF spokesperson Nick Baker said in an emailed statement to The Fix.

I wonder if there is any avenue to funnel private donations to the Stanford College Republicans?

I, myself, look forward to the further application of this precedent: The Stanford Jr Weenies by policy now fund counter-protests against significant events, in the interest of airing issues and providing space for all PoV.

Campus YAF now get al the student funding they need, simply as counter-protesters for everything else.

Giving foolish children control over funding is a foolish mistake.

What is aWoman is must watching for anyone interested in becoming educated about this issue

Today, if you have what it takes to apply to, and get admitted to, Stanford University … then about the worst thing you could do for yourself would be to attend Stanford University.
