When did universities begin to hate free speech? Illinois State University faculty member flips Turning Point USA tables on campus
A twisted Illinois State University faculty member was caught on camera flipping a Turning Point USA table set up by students on campus this week, viral video shows.
The vandal is seen unleashing the sick rampage moments after speaking to a man standing near the table, which had been set up by students in the group to promote political YouTuber and comedian Alex Stein’s Oct. 20 event at the university, according to video and various X posts about the ugly incident.
I'm old enough to remember when universities were hotbeds of free speech. Now they seem to be hotbeds of fascism. "If you don't agree with me I will disrupt your event." You can pretend that is anti-fascism, but that just means you are ignorant of history.
Derek Lopez was arrested. Normal, IL Arrest: ISU Graduate Student Allegedly Damaged Property During Campus Events
According to ISUPD, Derek Lopez of El Paso, Illinois, was taken into custody October 17, 2025, following an investigation into two recent informational tabling events hosted by a registered student organization. Lopez faces charges of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.
The charges are not much, but I'm sure it is more than he expected to face.
