They probably received tons of threats the place would be blown to smithereens if they allowed that commie radical to even set foot in the place.
Well, I may be a little exaggerative in my opinion, but you get my drift.

This is the UW-Madison campus we are talking about. And that place has ALWAYS been a hotbed of anarchists and Progressives, back to the days of the La Follettes and before.
Robert M. La Follette Sr. WAS the moving force of the Progressive movement, as governor and later Senator from Wisconsin, with a lot of his agenda covered in “the Wisconsin Idea”, which boiled down to its very essence, was the reduction in the numbers of “low-value people” (like American Indians and the descendants of African slaves, for whom he had no use whatsoever), and the elevation of an “elite” governing class, family dynasties and the like, because of the “superior” genetic endowment. A lot in common with Ku Klux Klan, except there was no religious element involved. The Progressives were “free-thinkers”, despising any association with religion, and particularly Christian religion, in any form.
They still are. Islam escapes their wrath, as it is an ideology, not a religion.
