Got an invite to speak at a college last month, then they uninvited me 2 days before

I was supposed to talk at State College in Ohio about working in trades vs college. They saw my speech outline and said it was too 'anti-academic'. I drove 3 hours to get there and they canceled on me in a parking lot. Has anyone else had a college pull a bait and switch like this on a speaker?

I mean that's pretty messed up honestly, I had almost the exact same thing happen with a community college in Michigan. They booked me to talk about starting small businesses without a degree, then pulled the plug three days before after seeing my slides. Feels like they just want to hear what fits their agenda and nothing else.

Yeah that's brutal, happened way too late for them to just cancel like that.
