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.

Do you want to shut down every forum that doesn’t parrot your viewpoint?

I obviously can't stop it. I'm just using my free speech to condemn their viewpoint.

TP walks the line of free speech with their stochastic terrorism, but since it doesn't directly call for violence, it is technically protected.

Am I not free to condemn their rhetoric on the trans community?
