Woke Arizona State University President Michael Crow decided to cancel a conservative group’s event featuring Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs and former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz.
AZ Free News reported,
Arizona State University (ASU) decided to cancel a prominent conservative program’s first annual fundraiser scheduled for next month, and there are conflicting explanations behind their decision. The event was arranged to honor prominent community leaders Dan and Carleen Brophy; 100 percent of the event proceeds were to go to the program.
Three different reasons for the event’s cancellation were given to different parties involved in the event. The first two related to technicalities: the uptick in COVID-19 cases, and one unnamed faculty member’s failure to follow ASU rules. The third had to do with a more contentious topic: the featured speakers.
Some reported that they were informed that the event was canceled due to controversy over the choice of guest speakers: Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05) and former Utah congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz.
The same university that allows radical leftists to discriminate against others and display “Death to America” signs won’t allow Republican Congressmen to speak on campus.
This is the same university that allows students to call for the destruction/invasion of Israel on campus.
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club released a statement crediting cancel culture and ASU President Michael Crow for their event’s cancellation.
“It is outrageous that Michael Crow and ASU would cancel an ASU Foundation Fundraiser because they oppose the views and philosophy of the featured speakers attending the event. It is becoming clear that woke cancel culture has taken over every office at the University,” said Mussi. “ASU doesn’t have a problem with liberal activists and public officials appearing at the school for various events. It is well known that Democrat politicians, including US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, have in the past or currently work for the University at taxpayer expense. It only becomes a problem when the speaker is a conservative. If Michael Crow is going to surrender to the ‘cancel culture’ mob, then he is no longer fit to be ASU President and should resign.”
ASU only has one authorized ideology, which is leftism.
Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake calls for the loss of funding and new leadership at Arizona State University.
Not only should they lose donors and alumni support, they should lose state shared funding if they keep up this woke nonsense.
Is it time for new leadership at ASU? https://t.co/2N6XnsiJoD

ASU doesn’t allow for civil discourse or freedom of speech.
