UC Berkeley Profs Want Chancellor to Cancel Milo Yiannopoulos Visit
“harassment, slander, defamation, and hate speech”
Liberals are absolutely terrified of Milo Yiannopoulos. He’s a threat to the current narrative and mono-culture on most campuses.

‘Free speech’: UC Berkeley profs tell chancellor they want Milo appearance canceled
Approximately 100 professors at the University of California Berkeley have signed on to a letter asking the school chancellor to cancel the February 1 appearance by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.
According to The Daily Californian, the January 3 letter originated with a dozen professors who deem Milo’s conduct “harassment, slander, defamation, and hate speech,” and as such violates the college’s code of conduct.
Nearly 90 additional profs have signed on since.
“We believe wholeheartedly in free speech and in the presentation of views that may be controversial or disturbing, politically or personally,” said David Landreth, one of the 12 who composed the letter (and whose “main expertise” is materialism — “in its Marxist, ancient, and ‘new materialist’ manifestations”).
“However,” he added, “Mr. Yiannopoulos’s public talks routinely veer into direct personal harassment of individuals; they often also call for such harassment and aim to incite it.”

100 professors at UC Berkeley who don’t know the first thing about freedom of speech. Wonderful.
Last night a scheduled appearance by Milo at UC Davis had to be shut down because of all the unruly protesters. This never would have happened if Janet Napolitano were alive.
