I still haven't figured out why grown adults are simply not capable of not attending a speech given by someone they despise.

1.) The majority don't get to dictate who is and isn't allowed to step foot on a public campus. Private universities can do whatever they want.
2.) Have him near them? You do know that just because there's a speaker on campus, doesn't mean you have to go listen to the speaker. You can stay at home and binge watch Netflix. Problem solved.
3.) Why do you think that student organizations like the YAF (or similar groups) shouldn't be allowed to host a speaker because someone is butthurt about it?
I've never even gone to a speech from someone I actually like.
I don't have a problem with a controversial figure giving a speech at a campus they were invited to. I also don't have a problem with a campus changing their mind if they decide it's not worth the controversy.
Likewise, I don't have a problem with people protesting said speaker, either. As long as they do it peacefully and without violence or attempts at intimidation.
Also likewise, I have zero problem with people kneeling during the national anthem, but it's up to the NFL how they wish to deal with that.
I also don't have a problem with TV personalities being boycotted after saying something that is seen as offensive to the point that their career is threatened because of a loss of advertising revenue. That is capitalism at work.
Can any leftists here explain to me why grown adults are incapable of not attending a speech they don't like? I'm still curious.
