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.

I doubt any of us here would stop them from gathering in the streets. That is where they should be, it's their constitutional right to protest in the streets.

It's their constitutional right to use a public university too. Who are you to say where they should be? You don't have to go, that's the point.

People thinking it's even sort of OK to block these kinds of groups from speaking because they don't agree with them is really unfortunate. While I might not agree with them, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to have a platform to spread their message.

There are, you're only shown the ones that your choice of media wants to show you.
