Members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) plan to walk out of classes today from 11AM-3PM. They will meet at Parfet Park, 10th and Washington.
The group is protesting a scheduled speaking event by Alex Stein. TPUSA Mines is hosting a Prove Me Wrong debate with Stein, beginning at 11AM. Students will have the opportunity to debate with him on Maple Plaza.
According to Meredith Morrison of SDS, the walkout is because "Stein is a far right political commentator who profits from racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist content on social media. He is associated with the white supremacist organization the Proud Boys, and has a history of promoting violence on other college campuses and at protests."
