@carlo amedio it takes time to set up a scholarship. It actually just finished taking applications for the pilot program.

Oh, you got allegations eh. How about we not spew stuff without a cited source. But seriously what's the problem with scholarships set up for white males? There's scholarships for people with blue eyes out there, there's scholarships for exclusively every race out there except, maybe, one for white males. Get off your high horse, it takes time to fund an endowment so that is sustainable, but I suppose you know all about fundraising too.
Geeze louise.

Wow, I didn't know, guess I was wrong on that one. He's still a cunt IMO, he tweeted a picture of ben Shapiro's new baby being black to call him a cuck and He called a CIA agent an idiot on bill maher just because the guy disagreed with him.
As I've already admitted I was wrong, but as for sources, ill leave a link to where I got it from. I think I can be forgiven for buying into it. Yes I should have cited a source:
Breitbart Editor Milo Yiannopoulos Takes $100,000 for Charity, Gives $0
As for the scholarship itself, no I'm not against it, all scholarships based on race or gender are racist and sexist, and that is the very reason he created his to make a point.

Scholarship endowments are managed by hedgefunds, 50x$2,500=$125,000. To build a sustainable model takes time. But that's not your point.

Not really Milo, but pretty much in the same line of the left shutting down every conservative writer from speaking at collegiate campuses:
Conservative Writer Charles Murray Slams Middlebury Students Who Shut Down His Talk
A Professor Who Attended Charles Murray’s Middlebury Talk Is Now Wearing a Neck Brace. Protesters Attacked Her.

I tend to agree, but I don't think it takes sophistication to be able to hear a contrary argument, it just takes basic human decency. The sophistication comes in realizing that the opposing view has just as much right to be heard as yours does.
What's been interesting to me is that the left seems to be doing what it claims it fears from the right, particularly the politically-motivated violence and the low toleration for dissent.

Charles Murray has pretty controversial ideas linking race and IQ. Which is pretty much total bullshit. If I was on the right I wouldn't want him being considered in the same camp as me. I'm surprised any academic facility invited him at all, but once invited he should be able to speak...
I think our society is confusing free speech with opposition to other POV's much in the same way we think equality and diversity are the same thing. "Free speech" isn't limited to supporting your opinion while shouting down an opposing view.
The left is doing it as private citizens. The right is doing it from an official government positions. There's a big difference there.
The right-dominated government is violently assaulting American citizens whose political views differ from their own and are conspiring to deny American citizens their fundamental rights under the Constitution? That's news to me brother.
Sorry, should've clarified that I was talking about the "low tolerance for dissent" part and not the former part. That is inexcusable.
