        Really? What about the trans student Milo outed and bullied until she left school in Wisconsin?http://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2016/12/16/breitbart-s-milo-yiannopoulos-doubles-down-harassing-transgender-university-wisconsin-student/214849 …

        If Milo wants to go from school to school and yell from the center of the quad, great. What entitles him to an auditorium/thousands $?

        If the school permits use of facilities, its determination of who can and can't use them can't be viewpoint-based.

        1.) No, a non-student does not have a right to use facilities. 2.) Nor be paid.

        Given the outrage this is getting from people who generally support you, this could use some clarification. Are you representing Milo?

        if a government funded entity is giving the platform, cant viewpoint discriminate. law is very clear.

        it's either/or; if it's viewpoint discrimination it's necessarily not content discrimination.

        so, to be perfectly clear, you believe it's acceptable for mobs to define what qualifies as hate speech?
