Tired of losing yet, Berkeley? Too bad, you're going to keep losing.

Ann Coulter insisted all week she was going to speak at Berkeley April 27th as scheduled, despite the University canceling her speech for "safety concerns."

Berkeley just backed down and reversed their decision.

From The Washington Post:
Officials at the University of California at Berkeley on Thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand Ann Coulter.

The university had previously announced Wednesday that it was canceling Coulter’s appearance following several political protests in Berkeley that turned violent. But on Thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on a different day, May 2, instead of the original April 27 date.
Coulter and the group arranging her event said they are rejecting the new invitation.

In a series of tweets Thursday night, Coulter criticized the university, saying Berkeley officials were adding “burdensome” conditions to her speech. She said she had already spent money to hold the event on the original April 27 date and is not available May 2. She also pointed out that May 2 would coincide with a reading period before final exams, when there are no classes on campus and a fewer students around.

And she vowed that she is going to speak in Berkeley on the originally planned April 27 date, whether the university approved or not.
Coulter said this was good news for California taxpayers:


Ann said on Twitter she just wanted to speak and didn't intend to call their bluff, but ended up doing so anyways.



Coulter also retweeted this tweet from J Burton:


This is a big deal. We're taking back the streets and the universities.
