The University of New Mexico (UNM) recently canceled a pro-life speaker just days before Students for Life (SFL) hosted him, according to a blog post from SLF. …

The Administration informed Trujlllo that even if the correct form had been turned in, she could not host her event as planned because UNM is a polling place for election day.

The administration “didn’t want to risk the integrity of Election Day should there be a negative response” to the event according to Trujillo.

Trujillo was told to reschedule, but she didn’t want to “for an event less than a week away.”

[That’s nonsense, even if it was their legit concern. It’s a heckler’s-veto situation, and all that does is incentivize more violence by making the threat of it more valuable. — Ed]
