Spencer Brown reports Thursday afternoon that an upcoming lecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison could be closed to the public thanks to a “last minute move” by the university.
BREAKING: UW-Madison takes action to block public from attending @KatiePavlich’s campus lecture —> https://t.co/9lhixHgGRf
— YAF (@yaf) October 5, 2017
Brown writes that the university notified the school’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter that Pavlich’s campus lecture would be open to UW students only unless they found a faculty department sponsor before Tuesday.
“This rule hasn’t been applied to previous speakers hosted by UW-Madison YAF, including Steve Forbes and Ben Shapiro,” he adds.
This sounds a lot like the time UC Berkeley suddenly decided it needed a $15,000 security fee in order to host Shapiro, i.e., pay for the damage its own radical students might do to the campus.
C’mon guys. Free speech at a public university shouldn’t be that difficult.

Hey @UWMadison
We need FULLY free speech! Katie is a great speaker & deserves to be heard. If you are so secure in your liberalism why? ? https://t.co/a07Fvt7xYI

Oh, and one more thing. There’s be a “Cocks Not Glocks” counter-protest (see below) with free protest dildos.
