Penn State Immigrant President Cancels Event Featuring Alex Stein, Gavin McInnes | VDARE Video Bulletin

Penn State University claims it is committed to free speech, but that commitment didn’t stop it from shutting down an event two days ago that was to feature Blaze TV’s Alex Stein and Get Off My Lawn podcaster Gavin McInnes. Nor did that commitment lead to assault charges against the communist girl who spat on Stein, a possibly fatal attack if she were afflicted with a deadly disease. One possible reason the university caved and hasn’t filed charges: An Indian immigrant, Neeli Bendapudi, is the university’s president. As we know from Twitter chieftain Parag Agrawal, free speech isn’t high on the list of priorities for Indian CEOs. Include college presidents in that bunch.

A public statement from the University claims they are committed to upholding free speech, but goes on in a roundabout way to ultimately admit communist goons control who speaks on campus.

“Despite the University’s goal of upholding free speech, given the agitated demonstrators, at least one known physical altercation, a crowd surge toward the building, and chemical spray of the crowd and officers, taken altogether, it was a safety risk to continue to move forward and we did recommend the event be canceled,”

But again, look who runs the place: Bendapudi, who was born in Visakhapatnam, India

Unsurprisingly, Bendapudi’s priorities as a career academic executive have not included free speech. They have included what you’d expect: “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, as her pageon the campus website explains.

When asked about challenges facing her University, Bendapudi said:

“People think that institutions of higher education are these edens of equity, but really, if you look at it, we are far behind many many corporate settings,” Bendapudi said. “And so to me … four months in, it’s much less about starting something new as it is about assessing what we are doing.”

A.W. Morgan writes on VDARE.com:

Maybe Bendapudi should at least fake being an American and assess what campus communists are doing: scaring the cops into canceling events because the communists want totalitarian control over who speaks and what speakers are allowed to say.
