Saw something at the UC Berkeley speech that got me thinking
I went to that Ann Coulter event at UC Berkeley back in 2017 because my cousin goes there and I was visiting. There were like 200 cops there and protesters on both sides yelling at each other. The whole thing cost the university over $600,000 just for security. I get that people hate her views but banning her seemed to make way more people show up and get angry. Makes me wonder if letting controversial speakers come and face real pushback is better than trying to shut them down. What do you guys think, does banning a speaker just give them more attention?

Gotta disagree a bit, I think the real issue is that banning someone like that gives them a martyr status they don't deserve and makes reasonable people look like they can't handle a debate.
