| Beloit College Cancels Conservative Speaker's Lecture After Protests |
| 2019-04-03 |
| [ET] School administrators at Beloit College, a private liberal arts schools in southern Wisconsin, canceled a lecture by a conservative speaker after student protesters disrupted the event last week. Protestors banged drums and built a barricade of chairs on the stage where Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL officer and founder of the security company Blackwater, was set to speak. Prince’s appearance was to be hosted by Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a conservative student organization. On March 27, the day of the protest, the school announced in the evening that the event was canceled. The incident was the latest in a mounting list of conservative speakers who have had their events scrapped over protests, prompting concerns of free speech on college campuses. Prince later spoke at a hotel and said that his free-speech rights had been violated, according to the Beloit Daily News. |
