Terrible.
It appears the Marxist-Socialist plan is working as intended.
This is a pretty damning statement. If you can't have an open and honest debate on a university campus...These protests seem to be coordinated for any speaker invited by Turning Point. Maybe they should consider hosting their events off campus so the administration can't cancel them?
Most are fat assed dogs.I hate mask wearing, purple haired liberals.
This is a coordinated effort from the Communist left wing radicals who are teaching these idiots to disrespect anything that has anything to do with freedom.This is a pretty damning statement. If you can't have an open and honest debate on a university campus...
Jeebus…..nothing rational about that. Other than being a white republican, what did that dude do??
True but the university needs to ensure they are providing the venue and security for all voices to be heard. Quashing a group's right to assemble and listen to a speaker is trashing a basic tenet of liberty and a college campus is the last place it should happen.This is a coordinated effort from the Communist left wing radicals who are teaching these idiots to disrespect anything that has anything to do with freedom.
Been talking about this for years. We are sending money hand over fist to a straight up liberal cesspool. The stuff being taught at uga is absolutely disgusting. Bunch of brainwashed idiots being produced now. It is sad.
That shows me what is happening to all of our universities. These professors have gone radical left. Something should be done to stop them and their followers from doing this. They should be fired and their followers should be kicked out of school.True but the university needs to ensure they are providing the venue and security for all voices to be heard.

Stop thinking that this is new or getting worse. College educated voters are 60% liberal. In the 1970's it was more.
Man you libs are no longer liberal you have gone full time communist.Stop thinking that this is new or getting worse. College educated voters are 60% liberal. In the 1970's it was more.
Amen to that brother!!! It is long overdue !Terrible.
But it’s a sign that the US University system is due for a total overhaul. It’s too expensive and become too radical and anti-US.
Both sides have tried to burn the books they didn't want to try to refute. That doesn't make it right and I would hope that in a university setting his views would have been challenged instead of silenced.I personally witnessed William Shockley (google him, if you don't know who he is) "deplatformed" in the Spring of 1974.
Agree. My point is that that "deplatformimg" may be a new word, but it's hardly a new activity.Both sides have tried to burn the books they didn't want to try to refute. That doesn't make it right and I would hope that in a university setting his views would have been challenged instead of silenced.
If I am getting the right answers from Gaggle, this was do to his support for eugenics and making claims that blacks were inferior to whites? I mean this was only 30 years after Hitler and right after the civil rights movement. And I don't think the left or right was lining up to support his point of view.I personally witnessed William Shockley (google him, if you don't know who he is) "deplatformed" in the Spring of 1974.
No one is arguing to support Shockley's views, and my opinion is that they are "extremist" by almost anyone's definition of the word (including mine, FWIW). But if it is OK to deplatform "extremist" views, but not those that are simply "controversial", who gets to draw that line?If I am getting the right answers from Gaggle, this was do to his support for eugenics and making claims that blacks were inferior to whites?

I support free speech, but his views were at odds with society then as much as they are now. He was an extremist in any decade and thus not quite a direct comparison to today where the liberal side of the political aisle shuts down the other side for simply expressing conservative policy positions. Similar, but different.
I disagree. In the 70s maybe the sociology department was, not the rest of the university, like now.Stop thinking that this is new or getting worse. College educated voters are 60% liberal. In the 1970's it was more.
Imo the best way to handle extremist views is to confront them, not to silence them. Not to long ago we were silencing people that said crazy things like Covid may have originated in a lab or healthy teens didn't need the jab.If I am getting the right answers from Gaggle, this was do to his support for eugenics and making claims that blacks were inferior to whites?

I wasn't being critical or saying you were defending him. I just see the views of Shockley v Collins as pretty different.No one is arguing to support Shockley's views, and my opinion is that they are "extremist" by almost anyone's definition of the word (including mine, FWIW). But if it is OK to deplatform "extremist" views, but not those that are simply "controversial", who gets to draw that line?
Based on what I am reading about the Collins situation, those who deplatformed him would probably argue that his views are "extremist".
No, the admin did not shut down his talk. He took the stage at the P-J auditorium and was shouted down. One student leader took the stage and pleaded for everyone to allow him to speak (no matter how much they disagreed with his POV) , basically echoing what others have said in this thread. Shockley finally gave up after about 45 minutes or so and left.I wasn't being critical or saying you were defending him. I just see the views of Shockley v Collins as pretty different.
I am sure the libs think that his views are extreme, but I don’t think what Collins says and believes today is in the same universe as Shockley’s views were 50 years ago. Shockley's views were abhorrent and Collins views are not even controversial in society, just to the fringe leftists.
50 years ago I would assume the admin shut down his talk? Not taking sides here, but if that was the case, at least the university took a stand (right or wrong), but today they remain silent and let the mob rule. Neither is the answer to allowing free speech, but mob rule is inferior to actual leadership.

They are indoctrinating them and not teaching them now.I disagree. In the 70s maybe the sociology department was, not the rest of the university, like now.w
WTF are the police doing? Ask them to leave once, if they don’t, Billy club their ass and remove them in handcuffs.
The only views that need protecting are extremist views. Mainstream views don’t need protecting.No one is arguing to support Shockley's views, and my opinion is that they are "extremist" by almost anyone's definition of the word (including mine, FWIW).
