A former law professor said the students who called him racist and tried to cancel his lecture on free speech aren’t going to “cut it in the real world.”
Ilya Shapiro, a former Georgetown University law professor, was invited by University of Denver law students with the Federalist Society to give his speech, “Silencing minorities: Free speech on campus,” on March 7. But the Colorado college’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild attempted to cancel his speech and tweeted that the school administrators and police present during the lecture were making the campus “safe for racists” as students stood up for “anti-racism.”
“It’s not mere disagreement,” Shapiro, who is now the director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News. “It’s saying that those who oppose them, those ideas aren’t even valid, that they’re threatening that they’re indeed racist or discriminatory in some way.”
“I have pretty thick skin,” Shapiro said. “All these epithets… it makes them look ridiculous.”
