Northwestern student government freezes College Republicans funding over poster critical of LGBTQ community
Fox News
Student government at Northwestern University voted to pull funding from the College Republicans in response to posters that superimposed a poison symbol over an LGBT flag.
The move reportedly came in response to controversial flyers that advertised a May 2 event the organization hosted with conservative speaker James Lindsay, an author and leading critic of critical race theory. His speech covered the perils of Marxism and transgenderism, according to the Post Millennial. Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to jon.brown@fox.com.
One of the posters, which noted the event with Lindsay was also presented by the school's chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), depicted a skull-and-bones poison symbol superimposed over an LGBT pride flag framed in sunglasses, according to the student newspaper.
