Wonkette goes off on the University of California at Irvine for effectively banning the College Republicans, for inviting Milo Yiannopolis as a speaker for an event.
The reason was allegedly the College Republicans did not provide proof of insurance for security guards hired for the event, which would only be a minor technical violation of rules for clubs and easily resolved.
Instead, the College Republicans were banned from using the college service for booking speakers.
They note there is plenty of whining on the right about Free Speech when people protest or object to what they say, but this is an actual denial of free speech, and they don’t approve of it any more than if it were a left-leaning group.
They say they would not be surprised if the College Republicans cannot resolve this, that they would seek the services of the ACLU; while Wonkette does not support Mr. Yiannopolis, they absolutely support the right of the College Republicans to invite him to speak just as any other college group.
