At William & Mary, the First Amendment’s best friend gets shouted down
Think it’s only at liberal enclaves like the University of California, Berkeley and Middlebury College that screeching anarchists are able to shut down campus speakers?
Think again.
This fascistlike behavior was on display recently in the unlikeliest of places: the College of William & Mary.
And the target of Williamsburg’s anti-speech types was not a conservative.
The press corps was mostly absent last week when the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia was invited to speak at William & Mary on the topic of “Students and the First Amendment.”
According to an account in the student newspaper, The Flat Hat, and footage posted on the Black Lives Matter William & Mary Chapter’s Facebook page, the event was disrupted by demonstrators moments after the speaker was introduced.
No one had a chance to hear what this accomplished woman had to say. Welcome to academia, 2017-style.
The ACLU’s Claire Guthrie Gastanaga graduated from the University of Virginia law school, practiced law in Richmond, served as Virginia’s chief deputy attorney general, and represented a number of nonprofit organizations such as Equality Virginia, the Virginia Coalition for Latino Organizations and the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance.
Gastanaga has pushed for equal opportunities for women and minorities and worked to legalize gay marriage in Virginia.
In most places, she’d be a poster person for progressive causes.
But to a few at William & Mary, that wasn’t good enough to warrant a microphone. That simple fact that Virginia’s chapter of the ACLU supported the organizers of last summer’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville turned Gastanaga into a target of hate.Yet no sooner had Gastanaga been introduced than protesters carrying signs and banners stood in front of her with placards.
Ironically, as they had filed down the aisles, Gastanaga had welcomed them.
“I like this,” she said, smiling from the lectern. “This is good … I appreciate it.”
You see, unlike the dopes who turned their backs on her and drowned her out, Gastanaga actually believes in free speech.
So she stood patiently as the protesters chanted their cliched slogans over and over.
“Blood on your hands.”
“Shame, shame, shame.”
“The oppressed are not impressed.”
“Liberalism is white supremacy.”
“Nazis don’t deserve free speech.”
“The revolution will not uphold the Constitution.”
The chanting went on for 20 minutes or so, according to The Flat Hat, before the band of anti-free speech bleaters was handed a microphone and the opportunity to read their statements.
They finished and resumed chanting.
The Flat Hat noted that the students didn’t present themselves as being part of any group, yet on its Facebook page, the college’s Black Lives Matter chapter took credit for silencing Gastanaga.
After about 40 minutes, the event was cancelled. Gastanaga stuck around, hoping to speak with intellectually curious members of the crowd.
The Flat Hat reported that even those students were surrounded by chanting demonstrators. One student who wanted to speak with Gastanaga told the newspaper that he was physically intimidated.

This is all news to me because like I said, I spent my entire college career hoping for a 3.0 not a 4.0.

ChemE in four years is very focused.

I had to skip our core admin class due to golf and they made me take a business admin class instead.
It was easy...I got something like a 3.2

Agreed - some of the liberal left will go to any extent to float the idea that by electing Trump we've ushered in a racist, Fascist government. And when the evidence of that just doesn't appear, they'll take it up on their own to make that evidence. Ironically, that's actually what previous Fascists have done as well.89Hen wrote:Happening more and more.
