Kent State University is facing major backlash after a student-run organization announced it was inviting Kyle Rittenhouse to speak on campus.
This is not the first instance that Rittenhouse's appearance has been unwanted by college students. In 2021, Arizona State University students protested against Rittenhouse becoming a student at the school. "The decision to host an individual associated with such violence is not only insensitive to our community's past but also threatens to further divide us in these already tense times," Greco wrote."We must remember that our university should be a place for learning and growth - not for promoting divisive figures or ideologies that could potentially incite more violence.
