‘Free speech’: UC Berkeley profs tell chancellor they want Milo appearance canceled

Approximately 100 professors at the University of California Berkeley have signed on to a letter asking the school chancellor to cancel the February 1 appearance by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.

According to The Daily Californian, the January 3 letter originated with a dozen professors who deem Milo’s conduct “harassment, slander, defamation, and hate speech,” and as such violates the college’s code of conduct.

Nearly 90 additional profs have signed on since.

“We believe wholeheartedly in free speech and in the presentation of views that may be controversial or disturbing, politically or personally,” said David Landreth, one of the 12 who composed the letter (and whose “main expertise” is materialism — “in its Marxist, ancient, and ‘new materialist’ manifestations”).

“However,” he added, “Mr. Yiannopoulos’s public talks routinely veer into direct personal harassment of individuals; they often also call for such harassment and aim to incite it.”
