In a letter to university obtained by News 5, Padgett asked that the event occurs on May 4, 2018, which is the 48th anniversary of the Kent State shootings by the Ohio National Guard.
He continued to say the speakers will talk to attendees about “the unfortunate modern trend of violent left-wing Antifa protestors trying to undermine the free speech rights of right-wing people.”
