Inside Higher Ed: Saint Louis U. Blocks David Horowitz Event

David Horowitz is getting backing from his usual critics after Saint Louis University sought to change or block (depending on who you are talking to) a planned lecture he was scheduled to give next week on the campus.

The event — “An Evening with David Horowitz: Islamo-Fascism Awareness and Civil Rights” — was organized by the College Republications and Young America’s Foundation, which say they were banned from hosting Horowitz. The university denies that it banned Horowitz, but acknowledges that it told the students that they should modify the event.
