We regret to inform you that KPFA has canceled our event with Richard Dawkins. We had booked this event based entirely on his excellent new book on science, when we didn’t know he had offended and hurt — in his tweets and other comments on Islam, so many people.
KPFA does not endorse hurtful speech. While KPFA emphatically supports serious free speech, we do not support abusive speech. We apologize for not having had broader knowledge of Dawkins views much earlier. We also apologize to all those inconvenienced by this cancellation. Your ticket purchases will automatically be refunded by Brown Paper Tickets.

Progressives are not liberal. The New Democrat party is leftist in the worse way. They created these SJW monsters

It's like a Russian doll. Hurtful speech is the smaller doll inside the larger doll of free speech.
There another doll of combating the hurtful speech and it's also a smaller doll within the larger doll of free speech.

There's that free speech so long as we agree it again. Feelings more important than some ones rights.

Seriously? Dawkins is an outspoken atheist and routinely condemns religion. How is a so-called prestigous university ignorant of that fact?

The KPFA does not endorse hurtful speech. What a bunch of weak arse trash. Its shite like this that provides the ammo the results in Donald fricking Trump being president.

Liberals love them some religion as long as it's not Christianity.

Berkeley needs to be wiped off the face of the earth

"hate speech" has now been expanded to include "hurtful" speech. The slope is dangerously slippery.

Meh! Unless you are a tax payer in California, and or student, alumnus or faculty and staff who cares.

Read the article, it looks like it was a radio station putting it on not the university. In which case they can do what they want I dont give a frick.

people with a vested interest in the Constitution. I know you'd rather impose Stalinism and gulags here, so you can sit this one out.
