Weak AF: Hampshire College canceled gun advocate Antonia Okafor’s speech just HOURS before event
Gun activist, and Conservative badass, Antonia Okafor was all set to speak at Hampshire College when the event was magically canceled just hours before her speech was scheduled to begin.
"Although the group hosting the event had previously received email approval, an administrator waited until the day of the event to deny a "contract request form," saying the Second Amendment "is a very controversial subject." #HampshireHatesFreedom https://t.co/GYP68erk2C

From Campus Reform:
Rahim Hirani, president of Junoon, received approval to host the event on Monday, according to an email thread obtained by Campus Reform. But at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, as Okafor was already on her way to campus, the school reversed course.
“The Contract Request Form that was submitted was denied because it did not have complete information about the presenter,” Carolyn Strycharz, director of campus leadership, informed Hirani by email, going on to call the very nature of the event “controversial.”
Of course, the application was filled out but that didn’t stop them from releasing this lame apology:
Hampshire College sincerely apologizes to @antonia_okafor for canceling your speech tonight that was to have been held on our campus. Here is our full public apology and statement: https://t.co/0Gygr0SQPN
