What these yahoos do not understand is that he is critical of the ideas not the individuals
Wow, well said!
This is what the petition says.
“Bill Maher’s public statements on various religions and cultures are offensive and his dangerous rhetoric has found its way into our campus communities. Too many students are marginalized by his remarks and if the University were to bring this individual as a commencement speaker they would not be supporting these historically marginalized communities. It is the responsibility of the University of California to protect all students and uphold a standard of civility. Sign this petition to boycott the decision to invite Bill Maher as a commencement speaker at the UC Berkeley Fall 2014 Commencement Ceremony.”
You completely disregard what students have to say by saying the petition says something else. I don’t think you’ve read the petition carefully or you’ve just misinterpreted it to make your argument sound more legit. None of the points you’ve mentioned make sense because it’s based on something that’s never been mentioned in the petition.
