MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - UW-Madison students and staff awoke Monday morning to find Memorial Union and other locations around campus vandalized with spraypainted graffiti as well as messages opposing the impending visit by conservative commentator Matt Walsh.

Some of the messages, such as “Dude, Go Away” and “Hey, UW, the community is watching,” were seen around campus, as well as directed comments at Walsh, who was invited by the Young Americans Foundation to participate in a screening of his movie Monday night.

In addition to the directed attacks, the vandalism consisted of general obscenities, anti-police slogans, and nondescript spraypainting to obscure logos and signs.

I didn’t know UW Madison had so many science deniers.

15 FBI agents were flown in to investigate the hate crime...

Only kidding. Hey, do you think anyone will be arrested, expelled or even suspended for this?

A campus security system likely has it all on video.

FBI won’t care because it isn’t a “hate crime.”

While Matt is speaking a montage of all this crap should be scrolled to further the message to those sleep in America.

For a long time it was rated the second best program of its kind in the world. Sadly though, nothing good survives the corrosive effects of leftist socialism. I imagine that their trangenderism department is now very well ranked.

University of Delaware was up there too in ChemE due to DuPont. No clue where they are now. (I lived in Wilmington DE)

You joke but there are colleges given school credit for “activism.”

It’s also a factor into being accepted into college in the first place in what are called “personal statements.” Students write essays about themselves and how they’ll be good little future Marxists.

This may explain why, after I responded to Matt Walsh’s tweet and very mildly agreed with him, Twitter blasted me as racist sexist and everything else you can think of and blocked me. I suspect anyone who was positive about Matt Walsh’s tweets got the same treatment.

Is Matt Walsh a particular target for some reason or is this just standard at UW for any non-leftist person?

Matt Walsh made the WHAT IS A WOMAN? film about transgenderism and that was the reason for this controversy.

In one interview with a trans activist/doctor, Matt asks about the long-term effects of the various medications being given to children and the interviewee walks out.

Such institutions should be defunded. That is a conversation that seriously needs to start taking place. We get less than a negative return on investment for such institutions.
