A controversial Breitbart journalist who is scheduled to visit the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is causing complaints, but UWM, while not endorsing his views, is standing by his right to speak, WTMJ-TV reports.

Milo Yiannopoulos, whose Twitter account was revoked by Twitter after he made racist and sexist taunts toward actress Leslie Jones, is scheduled to bring his "Dangerous Faggot" tour to campus on Dec. 13.

He was invited by the UWM student chapter of Turning Point USA, which describes itself as a youth organization that aims to educate and organize students to promote fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government.

WTMJ reported that some students are objecting to the event, but that Chancellor Mark Mone issued a statement saying:

"While I understand that people may object to the content of Yiannopoulos's speech, the University, as a public entity, is limited in its ability to regulate the content of such events and must apply the same policies to them regardless of any person or group's objection to messages with which they disagree. That being said, UWM does not endorse the speaker’s views. Additionally, no tuition or segregated fee funds are being used to support the event."
