DePaul University, which threatened to arrest Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro for stepping foot on campus in November 2016, is at its anti-free speech antics again. This time they’ve preemptively banned conservative comedian and commentator Steven Crowder because, as the administration put it, his style does not “align” with DePaul’s “educational mission.” In a statement provided to The Daily Wire, Crowder has officially responded — and it’s classic Crowder.
DePaul’s preemptive denial of Crowder’s possible appearance on the campus came in response to a request by the Young America’s Foundation to possibly host Crowder at an event on campus. The university turned down the request before Crowder was even aware that he might be invited. In a letter sent to YAF chair Jorin Burkhart, DePaul’s Associate Vice President of Student Development Peggy Burke said the review board determined that Crowder was not allowed to appear on campus because he sometimes makes fun of his opponents.
