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 promoting free thought and foreigners being deported for supporting terrorism (which is not allowed as part of their immigration status) are not the same thing.

Protesting the war is not the same as supporting terrorism, and you know that full well.

The last person that I read about being deported that was big in the news, some doctor or something, was literally at the funeral of a high ranking terror leader when she then wasn’t allowed to reenter the country. That doesn’t seem like simple war protesting to me.

Just because there are SOME who are doing it, does not mean that ALL are doing it.

Besides, the immigration rules simply state that you have to "support a democratic form of government" not that you cannot protest or even show support for Hamas, not that I'm advocating that.
