Palm Beach Atlantic University has reportedly disinvited Seth Dillon, university alumnus and CEO of the Babylon Bee — a Christian satire website — from speaking at the Christian school's chapel because of its "sacredness."
The announcement came on the heels of social media outrage against Dillon and his views on Black Lives Matter and traditional Christian sexuality.
The school now reportedly would prefer Dillon to speak instead at the university's library. What are the details?
Dillon, who spoke to Campus Reform for an interview published on Saturday, revealed that the school recanted its invitation for him to speak at the school's chapel.
He told the outlet that the school insisted upon switching the venue of Dillon's speech after students flooded the school with emails — as well as social media remarks — over his stance against Black Lives Matter and on traditional Christian sexuality.
Dillon, who, according to the outlet, has branded Black Lives Matter a terrorist organization, tweeted about the news, writing, "Cancel culture has come for me. I'm just too dangerous and divisive to be permitted to speak on the campus of my alma mater. Since when do you have to support terrorist organizations that use violence and intimidation to advance their agenda to be welcome on a Christian campus?"

In the next news, Babylon Bee’s popularity skyrockets.
Who knew a satire site was complex enough to have a CEO?
Will the Bee cave?
BLM is nothing but a DNC front behind the BLACK curtain.
They are worth BILLIONS as a "exempt" entity and all money goes to hating police and mostly supporting VERY WHITE Democrats for office who happen to be allowing the BLM/Antifa riots.
A lot of Christian universities aren’t very Christian. They should be at the forefront of advocating for traditional values. Leadership is pretty weak (IMO).
All for faggotry they’ve surrendered,
It’s part of the Revolution for which they live,
Freedom is only what you do with your genitals,
And not how you earn, spend or pray!
They’ve surrendered all,
They’ve surrendered all,
All for cheap sex and endless handouts,
They’ve surrendered all.
It’s sounds appropriate that he’d speak in the library instead of the chapel.
Christians must speak out against critical race theory. Very important.
Evocative!
Ouch!!!
Palm Beach Atlantic University - no knock against the Babylon Bee... they got some funny chit on that site. But doesn’t sounds like a top 3 tier university. Which only goes to show, some great minds don’t necessarily blossom by the 11th grade when kids take their SAT scores, or kiss enough teacher tuchus to get enough As on their report cards.
Really need to rethink the entire education establishment. But good luck with the teacher’s unions. Half the universities should probably close but that will only happen when people wake up to the fact they don’t need to attend one to learn things. More importantly, K-12 school choice needs to be implemented nation wide. The best teachers (80-20 rule) will make out much better in a free market for educators, but the union and the school districts protect the worst of them. The best teachers out there mostly don’t give a whit about the union they are too busy teaching.
And they will reap what they have sown. Very soon.
I've never seen the Bee described as a Christian site.
Lol. “Christians” not standing up for their beliefs. All too common.
They are not a Christian satire website. They are a satire website that is based on Christian principles.
I have a lot of friends that went to that school and went on to do well.
Yes, of course.
I simply stated the article reported the Bee as a Christian site.
BLM is an URBAN GUERILLA GROUP!! How’s that? Bettan than TERRORIST ORGANIZATION?
Sorry, I misread your comment. I read it as though the Bee was dedicated to Christian satire. It’s weird how the English language can be ambiguous sometimes.
He should respectfully decline the invitation to speak at the school’s library because it is his policy not to speak to the “luke warm”.
The University chose to side with marxists. That’s gonna sting.
