Florida University Gives Funds to Communist Revolutionary Speaker

Students at Florida State University protest an appearance on campus of the communist political activist and academic Angela Davis, in Tallahassee, Fla., on Jan. 16, 2018. (FSU College Republicans)

Communist Angela Davis ran into some unexpected “resistance” recently at Florida State University (FSU), which spent $31,000 to bring the former Lenin Peace Prize winner to FSU for a talk to students about revolution. About 20 members of the College Republicans protested her appearance with chants of “Hey Hey Ho Ho Communism has got to go” and signs proclaiming “Noles Against Communism” and identifying 100 million deaths from communist ideology.

“Noles” is shorthand for Florida State Seminoles and applies to students, athletes, or graduates from the prestigious public college in the state of Florida.

The total $31,000 cost of the event was disclosed in documents released to this writer under the Florida Public Records law. A limousine was included for Davis. Browning Brooks, assistant vice president for university communications, said, “I’m told that FSU was not permitted by contract to film, record or photograph this presentation in any manner.”

At least there are some students down there in Florida with some common sense!
