Villanova Cowardly Cancels Milo Visit

Villanova Cowardly Cancels Milo Visit — Milo Yiannopoulos, the gay British conservative who might be the funniest guy on the entire internet, was to come to Delaware County, Nov. 15, at the invitation of the Villanova College Republicans.

But that’s not going to happen now. The progressives at the school who have long held the principle of “speech for me but not for thee” went on a passive-aggressive social media whisper campaign. They accused Yiannopoulos of racism, bigotry, and misogyny. This caused the school’s large, well-indoctrinated special snowflake contingent to become frightened. This allowed the school administration, whether through cowardice, progressive collusion or a combination, to squelch the talk.

Villanova Cowardly Cancels Milo VisitHave you ever noticed how when a progressive accuses one of racism, bigotry, or misogyny the specifics are left out?

Frankly, I think the special snowflake objections to Yiannopoulos show severe homophobia. Sensitivity training is warranted.

  1. And another Catholic institution hosted a fanatical abortion supporter, First Wookiee Michelle Obama, stumping for another fanatical abortion supporter, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
    Add in a Leftist Pope, and I am damned disappointed in my Church these days.

  2. I don’t know why they asked him in the first place. I guess other people’s sense of humor is very different from mine. When I heard him speak once (and that was enough!), I was ashamed that we both identify as conservatives.

  3. I wouldn’t know the speaker if I tripped over him. He may be funny or not. His substance may be on the mark or just offensive. It should not matter. This Nation’s great strength throughout its history has been its willingness to allow and encourage free expression. “Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s view that ‘we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe.’ He later added, ‘If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate’.” From Lincoln Caplan in the American Scholar.

    These precious little darlings on campus who want to censor speech so they have a “safe space,” will have quite a tough time in the real world. And I’m glad of that. Villanova has no excuse and it is sad that a university that should be dedicated to academic freedom would lower itself to this pathetic censorship.
