Prominente universidad cristiana le prohíbe a Ben Shapiro hablar por ser DIVISIVO
Odio cuando las organizaciones ceden a las tácticas de la izquierda, especialmente cuando esas organizaciones están a la derecha.
En este caso, es una universidad cristiana en Arizona que, incluso después de admitir que están de acuerdo con Ben Shapiro, lo han prohibido por ser divisivo:
CBN NEWS – Grand Canyon University, one of the nation’s most prominent Christian schools, is under fire for blocking conservative commentator Ben Shapiro from giving a speech on campus.Shapiro, editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of The Ben Shapiro Show, was invited by the campus group Young Americans for Freedom to speak at the Arizona-based school.Shapiro is regularly invited to college campuses to advocate for Judeo-Christian and conservative values.However, according to a statement released Friday by GCU, Shapiro is not allowed to speak there because it would erode the school’s “unique and united community.”“We believe in many of the things that Ben Shapiro speaks about and stands for, including his support for ideals that grow out of traditional Judeo-Christian values and his belief in a free market economy. Our decision to cancel Shapiro’s speaking engagement is not a reflection of his ideologies or the values he represents, but rather a desire to focus on opportunities that bring people together,” the statement read.The statement went on to describe how GCU has intentionally created a culture where students feel welcomed and united with their peers and suggested that Shapiro’s frank political talk threatens that culture.“As a university, we encourage thoughtful discussions and rational dialogue in our classrooms about the issues affecting our society, and we encourage students to put greater emphasis on actions that produce positive change in our society,” the university continued.GCU also acknowledged that its decision to ban Shapiro would disappoint and offend students, but said the school merely intended “to use our position as a Christian university to bring unity to a community that sits amidst a country that is extremely divided.”
Y, por supuesto, citaron un versículo bíblico para respaldar su decisión:
The statement ended with a Bible verse: “If you look at America’s history, the Church has been at its best when it has worked to achieve the kind of peace that Jesus commended: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God’ (Matthew 5:9, ESV). Making peace in a way that honors Christ is something we will continue to try to do.”
Como puedes imaginar, fueron criticados por muchos en Twitter:

Shorter @gcu: we are so united we’re going to deny some a speaker because we can’t be united if some students choose to hear @benshapiro. Sounds like @gcu’s unity is shallow and not gospel filled. https://t.co/YZRjIl67xX— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) February 3, 2019
Extremely disappointed w/ @gcu where I have appeared many times. @my_ccu would never shutter speech this way. Nor @Hillsdale. It is a symptom of a deep illness within the Administration and a warning to would be applicants/parents. Censorship incompatible w/ education. https://t.co/8qJV6EYLOh— Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) February 3, 2019
Read this entire statement. It’s strangely self-congratulatory and utterly puzzling. De-platforming unites no one. Fear of debate signals a lack of confidence in your institution and your ideals. Christian schools should not be so timid. https://t.co/YembW4lHPu— David French (@DavidAFrench) February 3, 2019
Cowards with eloquent rationalizations are still cowards. https://t.co/7Md60M3Nbd— Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) February 3, 2019
Ridiculous https://t.co/GiueMNBreU— Matt Mackowiak (@MattMackowiak) February 2, 2019
This is everything that goes against the free expression of ideas, critical thinking, and exposing young minds to different ideas and concepts. Shame on you. https://t.co/grCNwSQxtM— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) February 2, 2019
I expect this behavior out of leftist secular schools, not @gcu. Count me as another Arizonan deeply disappointed in your intolerance of @benshapiro. https://t.co/iVmfyFw0sY— jon gabriel (@exjon) February 2, 2019
Y la lista sigue y sigue ...
Últimamente he estado leyendo mucho del antiguo testamento y los héroes de nuestra fe son esos grandes hombres y mujeres que no se encogieron ante los enemigos de Dios. Ya sea el rey David, Gedeón o Judas Maccabeus, todos sabían que su fuerza provenía de Dios y no permitían que los enemigos de Dios dictaran términos.
Esto no es una guerra ni nada parecido, y sin embargo, la Universidad del Gran Cañón ya se ha movido hacia la izquierda como Chamberlain y ha renunciado a la bandera blanca. Es patético.
