Bennett also is canceling a reception that Hamilton County
Commissioner Phil Heimlich planned Tuesday.
Both events, including the reception which 100 to 150 people were
expected to attend, were scheduled before last week's radio show
episode.

Bennett delays speech at UC
Abortion comment raises a furor
By Christy Arnold
Enquirer staff writer
Former Education Secretary William J. Bennett, under fire for remarks
about aborting black children, has canceled a scheduled appearance at
the University of Cincinnati this week because of the resulting
backlash.
"The current controversy that has arisen around comments I made on my
radio show, based on a willful distortion of what I said, will take
away from the serious discussion I want to engage in with the students
and community at the University of Cincinnati," Bennett said in a
statement released Sunday by the UC College Republicans.
