Kent State moves to Block 2A rally on Sept 29th

Post by Bruenor »

I'm sure most of us remember the pictures of Kaitlin Bennett on campus with her rifle.

Kent State University has notified a recent graduate that she must cease and desist from advertising a planned rally on campus because she has not registered the event and obtained the approvals required by university policy.

The proposed Sept. 29 rally, which advertised multiple, non-university affiliated speakers, also does not meet the university policy which mandates that a registered student organization or university department must sponsor the event. A group planning a counter protest received the same communication.

All event organizers must comply with the applicable university policies in order to hold a rally

Bennett took to Twitter to express her frustration, saying Kent State has "no right to keep gun owners from legally gathering on campus" (Guests are allowed to open carry on campus, although students are not). She also pledged to move forward with the event, regardless of the school's order.

WKYC later reached out to Bennett, who claims she university officials were uncooperative after she attempted to speak with them about the event. Adding the school is trying to "nit-pick," she also says she does not need what they are asking for and followed the exact same procedures for a similar event held on campus last spring as she is now. Back then, she was met with no resistance.

This didn't happen until ANTIFA and BLM said they were coming to counter.
