Who’s Afraid of Robert George?
17th September 2023
Chalk it up as another victory for the mob.
Earlier this month, Princeton University professor Robert P. George was slated to give a talk at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, including “a discussion of the importance of free and open discourse during college of the great questions of human life.” That’s according to an email from the organizing professor obtained by the student newspaper, The Elm.
But apparently “a discussion of the importance of free and open discourse” was too much for Washington College students to stomach.
“Protesters at Washington College … were successful in silencing the speaker, Robert P. George,” reported The Star Democrat, a local Maryland newspaper.
