I can see Berkley banning the KKK or BLM but Ben Shapiro is super benign. Those people are insane. Like bad luck.
The ACLU has fought for the KKK (and from a constitutional perspective rightfully so) to hold rallies, march in parades, etc., and won those cases. I'm not sure, if pressed to the legal limit, Berkeley could exclude any group that was determined to speak on campus. So far, Berkeley has gotten away with it mostly through intimidation and bluffing. If Berkeley actually outright refused (and went to court to defend that refusal,) it would cost every university professor their right to free speech which they exercise so frequently and declare themselves immune to repercussions based on those free speech protections.
I just meant I could see why they would want to as those are truly hate groups but Ben Shapiro is benign. I am not talking about the rule of law.
Agreed. I wouldn't "want" the KKK speaking at my alma mater as well. Berkeley's issue, and we are on the same page here, is that they show obvious bias against
anyone who holds a contrary view to the views of the university administration. Sooner or later, they are going to get inro boiling water because of it.
