FOX News reports:Controversial streamer Hasan Piker’s lecture axed by University of Washington amid free speech questionsA University of Washington lecture featuring progressive Twitch commentator Hasan Piker is off, and school officials cited a flawed planning process as the reason for the cancellation. Piker, a far-left streamer and YouTube personality, was scheduled to appear in January as part of the school’s 2026-27 Speaker Series, the university said in a statement. However, after “a review of the process by which the event was planned,” the university canceled the event. “It was determined that the process for organizing this event did not meet the necessary level of rigor for University-hosted events in the Speaker Series,” the statement said. But they can’t use those standards as cover for canceling a speaker because of their views,” it added.
