During the 1960s, American-Nazi-Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell often spoke at colleges and universities. Rockwell was hated and despised, and the college audiences occasionally erupted in loud booing; but college administrators reluctantly allowed the spectacles. They submitted to an understanding that public colleges were subject to the First Amendment and could not discriminate or engage in censorship.
Today, the government-funded colleges have become so one-sided that even the presence of a mild, neo-conservative speaker like Ben Shapiro sends government campuses into near riot.
Here is Ben Shapiro’s description of a recent speaking engagement at Cal State Los Angeles.
According to Shapiro:
Hundreds of students gathered to chant slogans, block entrances and exits to the student union auditorium, rough up those who wished to enter, pull the fire alarm, and trap other students inside that auditorium under threat of violence. Police officers stood aside and allowed that mob to violate basic safety protocols, reportedly at the behest of the school administration.
