U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, a former associate pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano and Dallas Baptist Univeristy (DBU) trustee, was scheduled to speak at the Dallas University when something completely expected happened.
Someone called in a threat of violence.
According to the Baptist Press,
Kim Soto, assistant director of media and public relations, confirmed DBU was made aware of the unverified threats and is responding with an abundance of caution.
‘Dallas Baptist University has been made aware of several unverified threats involving the campus. While there is no confirmed indication of immediate danger, university leadership is proactively assessing the situation and working closely with law enforcement officials to ensure the safety of our community,' Soto said.
‘The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff remain our highest priority.'
Given the left's propensity for physical violence in suppressing speech they disagree with, DBU decided to cancel classes for the day and Turner's speech too.
And then like magic, the threats disappeared:
‘We are grateful to share that the Dallas Police Department and the FBI worked alongside our DBU Police Department to investigate the matter, and we can now issue an all-clear. There is no active or ongoing threat to our campus community. Classes and normal University operations will resume tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 23,' DBU Communications said.
Sounds like the terror threat just worked ... with no consequences.
DBU says they are postponing Turner's speech.
But you can imagine that as soon as the day comes for the rescheduled speech, it will be more of the same, especially since it worked so well this time.
The FBI is working with law enforcement to investigate.
