Campus Republicans should be declared a hate group by the SPLC. They just can’t help themselves.
Cal Poly braces for protest as College Republicans plan to host ‘rape culture’ denier
A month after Cal Poly hosted a series of events as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Cal Poly College Republicans plan to host a speaker who once said, “There is no rape culture in the West.”
Lauren Southern, a Canadian conservative-libertarian activist, onetime political candidate and self-published author of “Barbarians: How Baby Boomers, Immigrants and Islam Screwed My Generation,” is scheduled to speak from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in room 286 of the Fisher Science building. The event is titled “Return of Traditional Women.”
Southern is part of a cadre of young, conservative provocateurs including Milo Yiannopoulos (who himself spoke at Cal Poly in January), Richard Spencer and Tomi Lahren. Vice News Canada labeled Southern as “the alt-right’s not-so-secret weapon.” She announced her Cal Poly speaking gig to her Twitter followers Sunday.
