After several days of back-and-forth between Ann Coulter and UC Berkeley, the conservative speaker just canceled her planned April 27 speech. USA TODAY

As a die-hard liberal and Democrat, it might seem strange to some that I agree with conservatives that Ann Coulter, with whom I passionately disagree, has a constitutional right to speak at UC Berkeley.

Two conservative groups, UC Berkeley College Republicans and the national Young Americas Foundation, have rightly filed a lawsuit against the university.

I am saddened that these so-called liberal students have no concept of what true liberals understand: freedom of speech must be defended, even the speech we hate.
