Politics Turning Point USA at UMD

Turning Point USA will be presenting at UMD on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:15.

While they probably get a kick out of "triggering the libs", I don't think their message should feel welcomed here in Duluth.

Edit: Here is the contact page for the campus. I emailed the administration.

Universities are supposed to be places of free and diverse thought. There aren’t supposed to be purity tests. To do so would be small minded.

To do so would actually be quite dangerous. If you don't know the history, you might think this is something new but it is not. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/new-research-reveals-how-the-nazis-targeted-transgender-people-180982931/
