** UCLA Silences Robert Spencer

** UCLA once again chooses terrorists over the truth.
------------------------------------------------------------
By Daniel Greenfield
After weeks of pro-Hamas campus riots, Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, was due to speak to the UCLA chapter of Young Americans for Freedom with a talk titled “Why Everything You Know About Palestine is Wrong”.
Going in, we knew that UCLA would do everything possible to stop the talk even as Hamas supporters were holding Nakba Day ceremonies commemorating the failed Muslim effort to exterminate the Jews.
After UCLA campus police had failed to stop violence against Jewish students and protesters in previous weeks, the David Horowitz Freedom Center had provided Robert’s security (because we knew campus security would do nothing) and we had people, including me, prepared to go out to be at the talk.
And then at the last minute, it was shut down.
While the doors were supposed to open at 5:30 PM, they were instead locked. UCLA wanted the event to go somewhere else, anywhere else, after threats and lies from terror supporters.

Local pro-Hamas groups had spread the same discredited lies about Robert Spencer and claimed credit for the cancelation.
But the bottom line is that UCLA had once again made the decision to choose leftists and Islamists over free speech. And after weeks in which the Left pretended to champion free speech, they went right back to suppressing it.
“At @UCLA radical protesters are allowed on campus but not civil students listening to a @yaf speaker in a room that was appropriately reserved in advance. This is a violation of their Constitutional rights. We beat the UC System before & will again. See you in court!” Scott Walker, the head of the Young America’s Foundation, tweeted.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center has unfortunately seen this same game played out before on campuses.
It took a lot of legal battles until universities stopped blocking conservative speakers, but in the wake of the Hamas riots, they’re going back to the same tactics, claiming that conservative events pose too much risk and introducing technical objections that never seem to show up at leftist events.
But the David Horowitz Freedom Center will continue to do our part to uphold the truth on college campuses.
The UCLA chose terrorists over truth, but the truth must be heard.

The Public Funding of Campus Hate
The stated purpose of higher education is the search for truth and wisdom, but in recent years, the American college campus has become little more than an echo chamber where radical, far-left, ideology can be refined and then disseminated into the wider national culture. Today’s college campuses are ruled by idealogues who view the world through the Marxist categories of the oppressor and the oppressed and seek to destabilize and dismantle America in the hopes of fomenting a revolution. Backed by millions of dollars in federal and state monies, University administrators and faculty teach impressionable students that America was founded on “systemic racism,” a stain that allegedly lingers to this day. They fund Middle East Studies departments and institutes which openly propagate Jew-hatred and advocate for the destruction of Israel. They promote the racist ideology of Critical Race Theory and the sexist and unscientific doctrine of transgenderism, all while using the iron fist of
bureaucracy and speech codes to eliminate all dissent.
It should therefore not be surprising that student organizations and clubs on campus have become little more than vehicles of resentment and hatred directed at our nation, at Jewish students and supporters of Israel, and at the founding principles that are supposed to buttress the universities themselves—open discourse and academic freedom.
The following report names the Top Ten Campus Hate Groups in America. These groups have openly and proudly aimed anti-Semitic libels at Jewish students and organizations. They have praised terrorists and cop-killers as heroes because the ideology of these criminals matches their own. They have endorsed racist policies and principles as a path toward achieving a more just society. They have taken it upon themselves to decide what views are allowable on publicly funded university campuses and which must be shouted down as “hate speech.”
Our aim in publishing this report is twofold. First, we hope to expose and reveal the radical hatred that the Left has woven into the fabric of our universities for all the world to see. Second, we demand that the universities named in this report launch investigations into the student organizations and groups named here, to see if their conduct violates federal and university policies. If the universities named herein refuse to take up that burden, we urge state and federal legislators to do it for them.
Our universities have become the cesspit of American society, where bad ideas and rhetoric stew, unhindered by reason, truth, or common sense, while the stench seeps out into our broader culture. Student organizations on campus play a key role in repackaging and rehabilitating failed philosophies like Marxism, Jew hatred, and racism as the shining path to a better future. We must expose and confront the radical ideologies and hatreds simmering within these collegiate organizations to impede their spread beyond the ivory tower.
