Janet Napolitano Lumps Ben Shapiro into the Same Category as Richard Spencer

‘We should restrict people like, you know, Richard Spencer, Ben Shapiro, from speaking at campuses’

NAPOLITANO: "Yes, I think it is. I think that we have to do a much better job of educating our young people about what the First Amendment protects, what it means, and how — once you start restricting speech, you are on a slippery slope. And so we are educators, and that should be part of our mission. Because you’re absolutely right, we see an increasing number of young people believe that, you know, we should restrict people like, you know, Richard Spencer or Milo Yiannopoulos or Ben Shapiro from speaking at campuses, and we must remind them that in the past it was speakers favoring, say, the civil rights movement, who were sought to be restricted. So, again, education is key."
