YAFers organized a speech by Michael Knowles at Purdue University, including signed contracts, booked venues, and ambitious advertising – but Purdue ordered students to stop advertising, claiming that the school had not yet “approved” the event. When YAF’s legal team attempted to reason with demonstrators, leftist administrators muted her on the videoconference. YAF partnered with Alliance Defending Freedom to demand the school cease this arbitrary and unconstitutional silencing of conservative students.
Date Commenced: March 2023
Partner: Alliance Defending Freedom
Status: The event was “approved” and was massively successful.
