WALSH: Some Students Say My Presence On Campus Poses A ‘Threat’ To Their ‘Physical Wellbeing.’ That’s Absurd.

Matt Walsh

After a petition with 2,000 signatures failed to stop my upcoming speech at Baylor University, and efforts to tear down advertisements for the event likewise produced no result, a group of several hundred students and faculty have now hand-delivered a letter to the university president outlining the case against me.

Amusingly, the letter catalogues a number of the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad things I have been allegedly guilty of thinking and saying, which, in some cases, came straight from the Bible. I am accused of opposing women ministers. This is true, but I shamelessly plagiarized St. Paul on that point. I am accused of saying that the man is the head of the women. Again, that’s from St. Paul: “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ” (1 Cor 11:3). I should note here that Baylor is supposed to be a Christian university. I am also accused of claiming that men have physical advantages over women in sports. That one is less from the Bible and more from any biology textbook.
