"Controversy Erupts as Kyle Rittenhouse Addresses University of Memphis"

Kyle Rittenhouse's speech at the University of Memphis, organized by the conservative student organization Turning Point USA, sparked widespread outrage and protests. Rittenhouse, who was acquitted in 2021 for shooting dead two people and injuring another during racial justice protests in 2020, spoke about the second amendment and criticized Black Lives Matter. Students protested his appearance, holding signs and walking out of the auditorium. The University of Memphis stated it was legally obligated to allow the event due to free speech laws.
