So you believe that Duncan walked into this expecting a warm reception and was caught by surprise? Yes, Slate has a left slant, but it takes more imagination to surmise that Duncan was purely innocent than intentionally provocative. He was looking for trouble and controversy, knowing the students would look like sophomoric bullies, and that's exactly what he got.

I believe that he and FedSoc were told by the administration that it would enforce the no-shoutdown policy. That's what they claim publicly and the administration hasn't denied it. On what basis would I assume that they're lying and that the administration isn't correcting them?

The DEI dean, on the other hand, read from prepared remarks, which indicates -- without having to read her mind -- that she was expecting what happened.
