It’s the same story we have seen play out countless times. The authoritarian left doesn’t allow people to speak.
The College Fix reports:
Rowdy protesters shut down conservative Princeton professor’s ‘truth-seeking’ speechProtesters at Washington College recently shouted down renowned conservative Princeton University Professor Robert George as he gave a guest speech titled “The Truth-Seeking Mission of the University.”“Whistles blew loudly, echoing around the room. The protesters marched in, campus security allowing them passage. Shouting from the protesters started right away, breaking up the professor’s speech,” reported the Star Democrat on Sept. 10. “The protesters came into Hynson Lounge, waving flags and signs symbolizing LGBT pride, about halfway through George’s lecture. They wouldn’t stand down until it was canceled.”“…Protesters holding signs gathered against the back wall chimed in occasionally, but mainly it was the two masked individuals leading the protest,” the newspaper reported, adding some faculty who tried to silence the protesters were unsuccessful. “Fast-tempo music began blaring, whistles constantly blew, and there was even a little dancing in between the tables.”“We have the power here to make our voices heard,” a protester reportedly called out to the crowd. “Are you going to tell me that WAC (Washington College), can expel every single one of us? Absolutely (expletive) not!”Brian Speer, a spokesman for Washington College, told The College Fix via email on Tuesday the protesters “took issue with homophobic and transphobic statements that Professor George has made in the past.”“Prior to the event, the College declined requests to cancel the lecture and shared an email with campus that reinforced our institutional values for informed, critical inquiry and the exploration of a wide diversity of perspectives,” Speer told The Fix.“The College provided a number of alternate activities and reminded students that it would be a violation of the Student Honor Code to disrupt a speaker. It is unfortunate that a very small group of students chose to disrupt the lecture,” he said.He said the speech’s cancelation “is not consistent with the core values of the liberal arts to which Washington College is committed.”
