Student Thugs Go Crazy at UC Davis

On March 14, conservative activist and leader of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, spoke before an audience at the University Of California at Davis (near Sacramento). Predictably, there were problems. Protesting students and other Jacobins engaged in disruptive and violent behavior, breaking windows and trying to shut down the event.

It was hardly unexpected.

Here is how an op-ed writer named Hanna Holzer described Kirk prior to his speech in the Sacramento Bee, the local newspaper of record.

Here is how the chancellor of UC Davis, Gary May, described the upcoming event and speaker to students prior to the event itself. This article is from the UC Davis campus paper, The Aggie.

Here is how the official website of UC Davis described the events in a matter-of-fact manner.

And here is how Turning Point USA describes the event, complete with videos.

First of all, Charlie Kirk is none of the things that Holzer described in the Sacramento Bee. He is not a hate-monger in any way. He is a conservative who is speaking out against the insane leftist, woke bent on university campuses, and everything he has said was borne out true by the actions of students, Antifa-types, and others who engaged in violence and intimidation. 

And this sorry excuse of a chancellor, Gary May, says that nobody should attend Kirk’s speech? He should resign. 

I am still waiting to see how the Sacramento Bee and The Aggie report on what happened on campus.

Something is dreadfully wrong on our university campuses, and along with misbehaving students and radical faculty members egging them on, much of the blame lies on the university administrations. They pay lip service to free speech, but in fact, they are weak, they are cowardly, and they actually sympathize with these student thugs.

Stop funding these schools!
