I certainly agree with them trying to prevent someone who preaches such hate, but matching hate with hate is wrong.

The campus IS inclusive. The Administration had no problem allowing a racist to speak, when invited by a campus group. The 1,500 who peacefully protested were exercising their right to free speech as well.

No problem until the Black Block appears. It is not clear any are even Berkeley students.

Trump cannot defund a state university, funded by CA. Berkeley does get federal funding for cancer research, but again, Trump does not control that funding. 

What sense does it make to threaten such defunding when 1) the University permitted the speaker to speak, 2) it was the police, not the university, who cancelled the speech, 3) it is not clear that Berkeley students were involved in the protest, and 4) Trump has not the power to defund anyway?
