Trigger Warnings On Amber Athey At AU

Share this article

A writer we find enlightening and entertaining evidently scares the hell out of campus progressives at American University. “An upcoming speech at American University by The Daily Caller’s breaking news and media editor, Amber Athey, is facing backlash from some progressive students and organizations on campus who are reportedly planning to protest the event and offer counseling services to students who are traumatized,” Daily Caller contributor Jon Brown reports. “The speech—at first entitled ‘No, Don’t Believe All Women’—is being hosted by AU’s chapter of the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) and will explore the importance of due process in the age of #MeToo.”

“In Facebook posts and messages obtained by The Daily Caller, some AU students have expressed a desire to ‘f***ing crash this bulls**t,’ and to report YAL as a ‘campus hate group.'” All the hate seems to be on the other side.
