Violence broke out at Auburn University during an appearance by white nationalist Richard Spencer. A court had previously ruled that Spencer would be allowed to exercise his First Amendment rights after the public university tried to cancel his speech.
Protesters clashed with one another, resulting in bloody physical altercations. Students protested Spencer and didn’t want him to speak because of his views.
Many college have followed suit when it comes to controversial speakers appearing on campus. It has sparked serious concerns over whether or not college campuses are trying too hard to shut down polarizing speakers and their First Amendment rights.
