Proud Boys may have never been taught, or never knew about, about Kent State University
On May 4, 1970, after days of unrest over America’s invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, student protesters at Kent State University clashed with Ohio National Guardsmen. The guardsmen opened fire, killing four students and wounding nine others. It was a pivotal moment in America’s anti-war movement.

Penn State
“The University has been clear that the views and speech of the two speakers at tonight’s student-organization-hosted event are abhorrent and do not align with the values of Penn State. We have encouraged peaceful protest, and, while protest is an acceptable means of expression, it becomes unacceptable when it obstructs the basic exchange of ideas. Such obstruction is a form of censorship, no matter who initiates it or for what reasons.”
Penn State cancels event with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes due to ‘threat of violence’
Penn State University officials abruptly pulled the plug on an event featuring Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes on Monday night with the campus in an uproar.
A swarm of angry students gathered to protest the event hosted by Uncensored America, a registered student organization on campus that advocates free speech, shouting chants such as “We are not afraid of the Proud Boys.” The university said the specter of violence posed serious safety concerns. Students told reporters that there were about 500 protesters in the crowd at one point.
