Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder and Christina Hoff Sommers at UMass
This one voice of reason went widely unheard in all the news of the protesters shutting down the Milo Yiannopoulos event at DePaul University.
Luckily, Louder With Crowder brought it to our attention and we"re going to share it.
With protesters on stage shouting vulgarities and even threatening Milo, she took the mic and went on a rant that was nothing short of amazing.
Youre in a place and youre not respecting it. Im a white supremacist now? Because I believe in hard work and deciding that I need to make a life for myself makes me a racist, a bigot and a white supremacist? Youre not working hard right now. Youre being lazy and disrespectful, and Im pretty sure your parents didnt raise you to be disrespectful, she said while dealing with interruptions.
Its an opinion, guys. Its not going to kill you. If you believe in who you are, and know who you are, it will not bother you. I know who I am: Im Kate Danforth, I am a math major and junior at DePaul University and Im working my a*s off to become something, she added.
Boom.
Milo commended the student on her speech and pointed out, If theres anyone perpetuating stereotypes about blacks, its them.
Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder and Christina Hoff Sommers at UMass
Dr. Douglas Haynes, the Vice Provost for Academic Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the University of California-Irvine, apparently was so aghast at posters advertising a coming appearance of conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos that he sent a school-wide email condemning the flyers offensive language.
He followed that by sigh recommending that students participate in Safe Zone training.
UCI adjunct Gary Fouse sent his own email to Haynes inquiring why, for example, Jewish students do not get this kind of concern when year after year, [] anti-Israel events come to our campus.
Here is my point, Fouse writes. The LGBT community at UCI is not the only group that feels threatened. It is time that UCI start paying attention to the comfort level of Jewish students as well. The UC Regents made a commitment when they issued their statement of principles.
The university has an obligation to live up to it. What I ask is that UCI extend the same support to Jewish students when they are victimized as it does to other groups. You have exercised your own right of free speech in responding to Mr. Yiannopoulos coming appearance. The university also has the right to exercise its own free speech in response to anti-Semitism on campus.

If you were expecting a mealy-mouthed response, Haynes does not disappoint:
Dear Gary Fouse,
Thank you so much for reaching out to me. As you know,UCI is a space for the free interchange of ideas. It is quite true that some positions and viewpoints may indeed offend members of our campus community. This commitment to free speech is capacious enough so that any community member may rebut attacks that offend. Indeed, Chancellor Gillman in his April 29 message to the campus on Free Speech and Mutual Respect put it this way when members of our community are subjected to hateful, discriminatory and inflammatory personal attacks, we speak out in support of them. The same First Amendment that protects offensive and even hateful speech also protects our right to oppose and condemn speech that is inconsistent with our values. (http://chancellor.uci.edu/engagement/campus-communications/2016/160429-free-speech.html). If you believe that you experience or witness behavior that is inconsistent with our campus Principles of Community, please submit an intolerance report at thehttps://ucsystems.ethicspointvp.com/custom/ucs_ccc/default.asp.
Thank you again for reaching out to me. I appreciate your engagement in this important matter. Please know thatmy office remains open to all members of the UCI community to further efforts to promote inclusive excellence.
Yes, submit an intolerance report. Well get to it. Sometime. Eventually.
The UCI College Republicans had also called out Haynes for his inconsistencies, wondering where the condemnation email was when students tore down posters advertising an event featuring David Horowitz the week before.
If UCI is a space for the free interchange of ideas as the provost says, then why did he label the Yiannopoulos (whos gay, by the way) advertisements bigotry, and subsequently notethat his freedom of speech should be shut down: Let me be clear: Bigotry has no place here or anywhere.
Thats not opposition and/or condemnation. Thats a statement advancing a prohibition.

Breitbarts Milo Yiannopoulos spoke at the University of Oregon last night,on the latest stop of his Dangerous f****t Tour of American college campuses.
The event, hosted by the Oregon chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, was not marked by blood-smeared feminist protesters or a rotund woman bouncing up and down in the audience.

Instead,Yiannopoulos, sporting arare Supreme uzi pendant alongside two crucifixes and with $15,000 worth of pearls around his wrist, had an impromptu debate on stage with a member of the audience who had decriedhim as dangerous and hateful.
During the main section of the talk, Yiannopoulos, sporting $900 Supreme Foamposite sneakers, blamed adults for indulging vulnerable young girls in the delusion of body positivity, citing the UMass protester known as Trigglypuff as a prime example of what happens to young women when they listen to feminists who declare that you can be healthy at every size, even though overweight individuals die much younger and crucially, are much uglier.
In relation to gun control, Milo, who kept$400 Versace sunglasses on throughout the Q&A, reinforced his support for the Second Amendment, especially in relation to individual citizens having the ability to protect their otherrights.
Yiannopoulos, wearing $350 True Religion jeans, even stated that every teacher should have a gun in their drawer,with whichto protect students.
The highlight of the evening came during the Question and Answer session at the end. Milo was subject to an audience member declaring that his views were dangerous and hateful. Unlike feminists and other social justice warriors, Milo invited the man up onto stage to have a debate with him, one on one.
After admitting that he was not familiar with much of Milos material, the audience member still proceeded to attack Milo for his lack of empathy.
In typical fashion, Milo eviscerated his opponent. Noting that the questioner was a liberal, Milo pointed out that if Milowere an Islamist imam, the questionerwould not have comeouttotell him that his speech was dangerous. The liberal mind is a mystery, said Yiannopoulos.
Milo responded to the questioners objections to his remarks about lesbianic feminists by saying that they are lying to children, and that the least he could do was take the p**s. Lesbian dominated gender studies departments [are] deserving of ridicule [they are a] poisonous influence its like putting Hitler in charge of a Museum of Jewish Antiquity.
The fun did not stopthere. After a talk that was morestand-up than college lecture, with the audience in stitches most of the night, the last question went to afemale audience member.
Referring to a previous statement of Milos that women like aggression in the bedroom, she asked Milo exactly how many women he had pleased, if at all. His response? I think the tally is about 12, possibly 13 12 or 13 more than you.There was no follow-up question.
