Free speech on American campuses is dead. Proscriptions on "hate speech," the creation of "free speech zones," and "safe spaces," and the general, pervasive stultifying effect of political correctness, has strangled free speech, destroyed the First Amendment on most college campuses. Ann was forced by the administration at Berkeley to have to speak outdoors, on a public plaza. She initially agreed, but I'm sure she was told in no uncertain terms by her own security that her life would be in grave danger. She is gutsy as Hell, but not stupid.


REPORT: Ann Coulter Cancels UC Berkeley Speech

Conservative author and speaker Ann Coulter has been forced to cancel her speech at UC Berkeley amidst worries for her safety on campus.
Fox Business reports that Coulter has chosen not to ago ahead with her speech at UC Berkeley which was planned for this week. The conservative author caused waves across the college campus when her event was announced and received opposition from the UC Berkeley administration, which at one point banned Coulter, although this ban was later rolled back.

Law enforcement sources warned Fox News that there was a “99% chance” of violence on the campus of UC Berkeley if Coulter went ahead with her speech. The Young America’s Foundation group was also forced to pull their support of Coulter’s talk due to security concerns, the group blamed the college administration for allowing left-wing radicals to terrorize conservatives on campus.

I wonder (not really) why the ACLU and Janet Napolitano are silent on standing up for Coulter, while coddling and condoning violence that tries to prevent free speech that might be unpopular.

If the college had any ethics at all, any and all future speakers would be banned from speaking as well.

You cant have safe environment, then we will treat you like the pussy douchebags you are and there will no speakers here at all
