    No one is stopping him from going to speak else where or upload a video online. Some people don't deserve that platform (to speak at a public university). There are numerous well-educated and accomplished conservatives out there that Berkeley could have invited and it would have been fine. Milo is not one of them.

    It was a conservative club that wanted him to come. Definitely not a representation of the entire student body.

    On the one hand, we should be mindful of bratty academics snubbing different points of view.

    On the other, some points of view are toxic AND deserve to be reprimanded publicly -- if there's an organic backlash, it's def within the community's right to tell that guy to GTFO. Afterall, I thought these POS had all the platform they needed/wanted on their silly, awful conservative blogs? Why do they want to talk at such a biased, liberal bastion anyhow

    its an interesting question: would it be appropriate, for example, for a major college/university to host Joseph Goebbels? What about Sayyid Qutb?

    i wonder if the protesters that think they won here realize that milo thrives on controversy and getting kicked out/banned from schools and other places
    probably would have been worse for him if they ignored him and let him speak lol

    (((Milo)))'s run as an alt right icon is almost up.

    The alt right is taking the path of least resistance "redpilling" themselves and become traditional anti-Semitic neo-nazis... and seeing how it's been discovered that Milo's mom is Jewish... He's going to find the same pepe frogs that elevated him to become the "Dangerous fa----" are going to be the same 1488 storm troopers that would rather help him into an oven then put up with his fa---- s--- anymore.


    It was an interesting episode of the enemy of my enemy while it lasted.

    So every speaker a university invites has to be representative of the entire student body? if someone's not a member of the conservative club they could just...not buy tickets to the talk?

    Milo's just an annoying attention-seeking troll but I don't see why he should be banned from speaking to clubs who invite him.

    Nope. Like I said before: there are numerous well respected and accomplished conservatives out there who the club could have invited to come speak. Milo is a hateful jack a--- who doesn't deserve that platform.

    but surely it should be up to the club to invite whoever the club wants to pay to see

    Nope. If the club is inviting someone who preaches hate speech, the rest of the student body has the right to be upset and protest. What's next? Are we going to allow KKK grand wizards to come speak at public universities as well?

    The line should be drawn at speakers who advocate violence. KKK advocate violence, Milo Yiannopoulos doesn't.

    He's advocated that "conversion therapy works for some people" and that "we can really see if it works" since trump is president. That's a pretty thin line he's treading on if that's not advocating for violence.

    Sending Milo to Berkeley (the most liberal place in America) was a troll.

    However, say Shaun King went to speak in Pell City, Alabama, I don't think we would see the same reaction.

    Liberals constantly chastise conservatives for being too stupid to tie their own shoes and then wonder why people vote to extremes. Where is the real rebellion?

    I think that's because a lot of people in Pell City, Alabama probably don't know who Shaun King is. Nor would King go up there and start preaching how stupid conservatives are and how they need shock therapy.
