School administrators at Beloit College, a private liberal arts schools in southern Wisconsin, canceled a lecture by a conservative speaker after student protesters disrupted the event last week.
Protestors banged drums and built a barricade of chairs on the stage where Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL officer and founder of the security company Blackwater, was set to speak. Prince’s appearance was to be hosted by Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a conservative student organization.
