Student Protesters who Shut Down ‘War on Cops’ Author Speech Could Face Suspension, Expulsion

Student protesters may face suspension and expulsion for blocking the entrance to the building where book author Heather MacDonald was scheduled to speak, said a Claremont McKenna College spokesperson:

Joann Young, director of media relations at the school, said via email that campus officials will review videos, photos and social media posts as part of a thorough investigation into the matter, during which Heather Mac Donald, a Manhattan Institute scholar and author of the 2016 book “The War on Cops,” had her speech effectively shut down after a throng of roughly 250 rowdy protesters blockaded the doors.

Mac Donald ended up livestreaming her speech to a near-empty room as demonstrators outside banged on windows and shouted “F*ck the police” and “Black Lives Matter.”

Young said those found responsible face a range of possible sanctions, “including but not limited to temporary or permanent separation from the college.”
