The President and far left student groups at Fordham University pressured the campus Republican group to dis-invite conservative Ann Coulter from speaking at the university.
Fordham University president Joseph McShane, S.J., faulted campus College Republicans for inviting Ann Coulter to speak, saying that her rhetoric appeals to the “darker side” of human nature.
Controversial conservative pundit Ann Coulter was invited — and then disinvited — to speak at Fordham University in New York last week.
Fordham President Joseph M. McShane, S.J., chastised his campus’ chapter of the College Republicans for inviting Coulter — who recently referred to President Obama as a “retard” — to speak on campus, paying her with student fees. He addressed the entire university with his decision in a campuswide email.
McShane said preventing Coulter from speaking would “counter one wrong with another,” and explicitly stated he wouldn’t forbid the CRs from having her speak at the Jesuit university. Nevertheless, the Fordham CRs beat him to it anyway and quickly rescinded the invitation to Coulter.
That’s really sad in so many ways.
