Sheriff Clarke Disinvited From U. New Haven for Criticizing Black Lives Matter

Legal Insurrection
“Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit Sheriff Clarke’s attendance at this year’s symposium.”

"Sheriff David Clarke is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and critic of the Black Lives Matter movement. This summer, the University of New Haven in Connecticut invited him to speak this fall, but the invitation was recently rescinded.

"Clarke wrote about the situation at Patheos:

The University of New Haven Disinvited Me to Speak on FORENSICS, because of #BlackLivesMatter

The cult-like demands of #BlackLivesMatter have extended all the way into the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences. This program, established by Dr. Henry C. Lee of University of New Haven, is one of the foremost academic forensic programs in the world. (He’s worked on the JonBenét Ramsey case, the O.J. Simpson and Laci Peterson cases, the post-9/11 investigations, and has reinvestigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy.) I was honored to have been invited to speak this month at their 25 th Annual Markle Symposium October 24 and 25 2016.
