Sheriff David Clarke was all set to deliver a lecture on forensics at Connecticut’s University of New Haven in October but suddenly had the invitation rescinded because apparently, he doesn’t meet the social justice warrior profile.

According to his blog:

On August 3, my assistant had a conversation with Mr. Malloy, who was extremely apologetic and embarrassed to have to rescind the offer. Apparently, the higher-ups did not want me to speak on campus due to my remarks about #BlackLivesMatter.

What did I say that was so controversial?  I’m not sure what specific remarks drove them to uninvite me, but anyone who listens to me for five seconds knows I prefer to drop the “v” and call them #BlackLIESMatter. They terrorize the police, lie about their true mission, promote anarchy like the old Black Liberation Army, and released a list of “demands” that included releasing known cop killers.

So, yeah — I’m going to keep speaking out against #BlackLIESMatter — but apparently that means I’m not going to be speaking about forensics at the University of New Haven anytime soon.

The university has responded and assured those disappointed with the cancellation that they still believe in free speech. It was simply “circumstances” that messed the whole thing up:

The University is aware that some people, including current students and alumni, are upset that Sheriff David Clarke’s invitation to speak at the Markle Symposium was rescinded. As an institution of higher learning, we fully support free speech and value the marketplace of ideas. Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit Sheriff Clarke’s attendance at this year’s symposium, and we respect the resulting divergent reactions among the University community.

Thanks, we feel much better.

The backlash has begun with one supportive student starting a petition asking his school to let the sheriff speak and issue an apology.
