The editorial board at a student University of Virginia newspaper recently published an op-ed declaring they don't 'condone' a campus visit from Mike Pence and argued that his beliefs and rhetoric were 'unjustifiable' speech.
Author Douglas Murray says the protest offers a 'terrible glimpse at what could be the next generation of American lawyers.''s student newspaper, The Cavalier Daily, recently published an editorial board piece that said they don't"condone" former Vice President Mike Pence speaking on campus and argued against what they deem"unjustifiable" speech.
A senior legal affairs reporter for Politico, Josh Gerstein, used a hashtag to say student newspapers force censorship. The piece was first noted by Atlantic staff writer Conor Friedersdorf, who said Pence has spoken at several colleges and said there was"zero evidence" of students"being endangered as a result."
"Nobody should listen to Mike Pence, but nobody should stop him from speaking," Nicholas Sarwark, an Executive Director at the Libertarian Policy Institute, said. A student at the University of Virginia recently wrote in an opinion essay for the New York Times that she, who describes herself as liberal, feels scared to speak her mind on campus.
The student paper ran another op-ed Wednesday headlined,"The payoff of rhetorical platforms — and the cost of their denial," which appeared to counter the editorial board's piece.
