Mob-like law students call Christina Hoff Sommers a fascist, shout her down

On Monday, student activists at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Ore., partially prevented scholar and author Christina Hoff Sommers from speaking. After disseminating a letter asking the Federalist Society of Lewis & Clark to rescind her speaking invitation, which I wrote about Monday, student activists came out in full force to the Sommers lecture.

A woman in a “stay woke” sweatshirt led the call and response, as students blasted music to try to drown out Sommers’ words, and held signs saying “NO PLATFORM FOR FASCISTS” and “PATRIARCHY, BIGOTRY, HATE…THESE ARE THINGS WE DON’T DEBATE.” Others held up “RAPE CULTURE IS NOT A MYTH” signs and sang while Sommers tried to speak.
