5. Free speech banned: More Orwellian tactics at DePaul University

Conservative speaker Ben Shapiro was invited to the DePaul campus by its Young Americans for Freedom chapter only to be stonewalled by Vice President Bob Janis who announced, “Given the experiences and security concerns that some other schools have had with Ben Shapiro speaking on their campuses, DePaul cannot agree to allow him to speak on our campus at this time.”

So, because Shapiro’s previous speeches were taken over by protesters who purposely blocked exits and prevented people from attending the event, Janis is kowtowing and silencing the First Amendment rights of its students and guest speakers.

“They can’t keep their own students from assaulting people, so, therefore, they can’t bring in speakers who disagree with the students,” Shapiro said in response on The Kelly File.

“If this is how things are going to be from now on, free speech doesn’t exist because it really creates an incentive for people to get violent at protests and get violent when speakers come to make sure the people they disagree with don’t get to show up on campus anymore,” he added.

Conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos tried to give a speech at DePaul in 2016 but was shut down by Black Lives Matter protesters. They stormed the stage because they didn’t like what they heard and one of them, a female, took a swing at Milo. Remember, love trumps hate, right?
