Materials Stolen at Event on Censorship

Materials Stolen at Event on Censorship - The Michigan Review
The theft, presumably by protesters, seemingly confirmed to theme of the event: the threat of liberal censorship.
On Wednesday November 30, the University of Michigan chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) hosted David Horowitz for an event entitled “Progressive Censorship: The Left’s War on Your Freedom.”
The event, held in the Pendleton Room of the Michigan Union, drew a sizable crowd and, unsurprisingly, a few protesters.

On a piece of paper left at the table in place of the stolen materials, someone had scrawled “SHIT” as an apparent message to those who had organized the event.
The theft, presumably by protesters, seemingly confirmed to theme of the event: the threat of liberal censorship.
Grant Strobl told the Michigan Review, “The theft of our materials only confirms the title of our event ‘progressive censorship.’
If the left disagrees with you, they will silence you.”
The materials have yet to be returned and Strobl has filed a police report.
He says, “All we want is our sign up list, literature, Ronald Reagan calendars, and free speech stickers back.”
