Speech on campus battles continue: Claremont-McKenna, Harvard

IHE carries both stories today: protesters at Claremont-McKenna prevent most of audience from attending talk by Black Lives Matter critic Heather MacDonald (from the libertarian Manhattan Institute), while Harvard students have formed a group whose sole purpose is to invite, it appears, "controversial" speakers.  That seems to me rather dubious, though their first two choices are reasonable ones, as opposed to idiotic ones (e.g., Milo what's-his-name).  Not everyone deserves to be invited to speak on a college campus, after all:  having some knowledge, having an articulate and evidence-based perspective on questions of scholarly interest ought to be required!
