I agree. But I also think a university doesn't need a clear and present danger before it's entitled to decide who is invited to speak. No one has a first amendment right to demand to be given any particular podium in any particular auditorium at any particular time. The university was free to cancel him, and if students disagreed with that decision, they were free to protest. Yiannopoulos still has his right to free speech, but he doesn't have the right to be invited anywhere he chooses to exercise it.
