The Heckler’s Veto: How Universities Cave to the Mob

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 | 2:00-3:00 Eastern Time 

In 2024, during a wave of anti-Israeli activism on campus, UCLA student Brooke Broll and her Young America’s Foundation chapter invited pro-Israel speaker Robert Spencer to present a different view. They secured university approval and security. 

But on the day of the talk, UCLA locked students out of the event space and tried to move it a half-mile away. The talk never happened. UCLA says it has no responsibility to protect the rights of a peaceful speaker from threats to shut him down, but that is wrong. The Constitution forbids universities from aiding activists who try to silence opposing views. 

Join us as we discuss CIR’s effort to hold public universities accountable to the First Amendment.
