More viewpoint intolerance from the fascists on the Left.

Nobody wants to hear her Zionist propoganda.

Why does it matter one fricking bit if a college canceled a speaker?

Viewpoint intolerance? Number one, that is a made up grievance. Number two, this bitch controls a whole television network that is broadcasted for free across the whole country.

...So the Associate Director of the Center finds it intolerable to have opposing views heard on campus. This is the person that UCLA selected to help lead the Center. Of course, there was no such problem in having CNN's Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper.

Weiss is, indeed, a hack and a lackey for Trump.

I’m not sure what your definition of Zionist may be.

Provide us a list of the hacks/lackeys for Democrat elected officials who have been specifically prevented from speaking on college campuses in this country because they were such.

I think it’s bullshite she was cancelled but at the same time she has NO PROBLEM censoring anyone who isn for Israel.
And that doesn’t make me antisemitic to the usual Israel first tards.
She’s shite and cbs is the same. People are so fooled by her thinking cbs got taken over by a conservative or free speech absolutist.

So anyone that is defined as a “hack” or is a “lackey” of Obama or Biden should be banned from speaking at Universities as well? thats your opinion?

You definitely have a rainbow NPR tote bag you bring with your domestic partner to the Farmers Market each Sunday after Primal Scream Therapy.

Weiss is anti-cancel culture.
And she does speak with people who have opposing positions on Israel.
Outside of that, she's pretty far left. She's the female Joe rogan.

UCLA canceling a speaker isn't news. Canceling someone who is anti-cancel culture is the irony. It is funny. But it shouldn't be shocking to anyone who has paid attention to the American university system the past 15 years. It isnt "breaking news".

The left has been the "unity" party since Obama. If you aren't in their ring of unity 100%, then you are a nazi to be feared and shut down. Punch a nazi (ironically, they include the jews in this classification).

Even a large percentage of democrats acknowledge this. They haven't been the party of diverse thought for over a decade.

I know. Bari is a Jewish lesbian-a standard issue cultural lefty. How dare she promote non-approved Thought and Speech. It's almost like she thinks our glorious Kultural Revolution has gone too far or something. We must silence her before more of these dangerous ideas about Free Speech spread.

Forward, bitches!

People complaining about this were the same ones celebrating when Harvard and ivy league schools shut down criticism of a certain foreign country by faculty and students
