MADISON, WI (MetroSource-WSAU) A UW-Madison student group is bringing controversial conservative commentator Dennis Prager to campus.
Young Americans for Freedom will host a speech by Prager entitled “Judeo-Christian Morality and Its Impact on Western Culture.” Prager has frequently spoken against multiculturalism, Muslims, homosexuality and media bias. Some of his videos posts, known as Prager University, have been removed from YouTube for being inflammatory. Prager recently lost a censorship lawsuit against the website.
Prager is a long-time syndicated radio talk host whose latest book is The Rational Bible.
The program will take place April 25th at 7:30pm at Sterling Hall.
The same student-group brought conservative speaker Ben Shapiro to campus in 2016. A disruption during his speech led to a proposed state law that would have led to expulsion or criminal charges against demonstrators who try to shut down speakers they disagree with. The law did not make it past the committee process, but many of its proposal were adopted as UW policy by the Board of Regents last year.
