"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) has long been a cesspool of moral rot and corruption. My longtime readers will recall that the first speech I ever gave on a college campus was at UNCG in 2004. The university had just spent $3,000 the night before to fund a speech by a porn star that referred to herself as the “Queen of Anal Sex” (I promise I am not making this up). But they refused to fund my speech on the First Amendment because it was “too offensive.” To cap it off, UNCG told the College Republicans (CRs) that “political” groups were not eligible for funding. This classification violated a Supreme Court case decided back in 2000.
"It is now 2017, and UNCG is still violating the Constitution in an effort to deter organizations from bringing in conservative speakers. In fact, it has gotten worse as their administrators are now violating their own classification policies in order to implement viewpoint discrimination. This time, they are doing it by unlawfully assessing a fee for the venue where Dinesh D'Souza will speak on November 2 nd .
"The controversy began when conservative UNCG students invited Dinesh D'Souza to speak on their campus through Young America's Foundation's (YAF) nationwide campus lecture program. Students requested funding for the lecture. When they later booked a venue for the lecture, UNCG administrators requested a copy of the speaker contract. As soon as they saw YAF on the contract, administrators disregarded their own rules and reclassified the event, requiring a venue fee not charged to students or recognized student groups that host events on campus." . . .
