Well, last night was a tremendous victory for TPUSA, Kyle Rittenhouse, and the right to speak freely on our college campuses. I think we have to go back to really a year ago, last March in 2024, when the TPUSA chapter at the University of Memphis decided to sponsor an event with Kyle Rittenhouse.

And they worked with the University of Memphis officials, created a ticketing system through TPUSA, and had the event all planned out to host about 300 kids, students. And it was open to the public. But what happened in that instance is that the university interfered with the ticketing system. It allowed disruptors to virtually take all of the tickets.

And then it allowed a mob rule to take over that event. And it had to be shut down because the university officials and the police refused to protect the speech of TPUSA. and of Kyle Rittenhouse. So last night after Alliance Defending Freedom sent a legal demand letter with very specific demands to the university, the university complied with those demands and TPUSA was able to move forward.

So we're so grateful for their courage and glad that they were welcomed back to campus. We also got one of the policies changed so that future students won't have to endure this again.

Yes, well, at ADF, we have about 450 legal victories on college campuses. And I have to tell you that in seeing many of those victories play out, the circumstances of this particular campus incident are some of the worst that we've seen.

But it didn't even provide reasonable steps to protect the safety of TPUSA members, as well as Kyle Rittenhouse, leading them out in front of a mob and having that mob then chase those TPUSA members, threaten to kill them, spit on their cars to pursue them. It was just the circumstances were so deeply disturbing and fell so far short of of constitutional and state law requirements.

The university officials are not allowed to let mobs rule and to essentially engage in a heckler's veto. So again, it takes courage to stand up, but thank God for these members who did as well as for Kyle.

Oh, thanks for asking. Well, first, I would just say we have a student's rights handbook on our website, ADFlegal.org. We provide all of our services free of charge. And we believe that censorship, not only on campuses, but in our workplaces and through both government collusion with private collusion online, is the biggest issue that we have to fight today.

So a lot of our resources are going towards that, as well as fighting gender identity ideology and expanding parental rights. Because we do believe that gender ideology has been a Trojan horse to essentially compel speech by the government and to take away our rights. And when we allow censorship to continue, we know that most countries around the world have free speech protections.
