Students at the prestigious University of Chicago say that free speech should not apply equally to everyone. The students objected to the school’s Institute of Politics’ invitation to former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. They claim that allowing him to speak “normalizes bigotry” and provides a platform for fascism.
Lewandowski did not join the White House staff but by many accounts remains an influential advisor to the president.
The coalition of students from U of C Resists, Graduate Students United, Students Working Against Prisons, and UChicago Socialists claim that the school’s “commitment to free expression” doesn’t require the institution to host him due to his alleged ties to white supremacists and similarly alleged calls to violence against minority groups and refugees.
They told Campus Reform that they did not call for the University to disinvite him, but rather “encouraged [the person who invited him] to reconsider and rescind the invitation,” as if it makes a difference.
In an open letter to the school, the authors state that Lewandowski courted right-wing extremist groups. They also referred to his alleged “assault” of a woman Breitbart journalist during the campaign, among other things.
