What really happened at Ohio University when Kaitlin Bennett showed up? We talk to OU students about the protests
After she posted the tweet, right-wing activists were incensed by Bennett’s treatment, viewing it as symptomatic of the campus left’s hostility toward any viewpoints that are not perceived as liberal. “does not protect young women from assault on their campus Campus cops on video standing by and watching while Kaitlin Bennett was surrounded and assaulted by a violent, cult-like mob,” far-right thought leader Jack Posobiec tweeted.
and said the comment was unacceptable, Bennett said, “‘If I can change my gender, I can change my race.”said the protests were undoubtedly heated; as seen in the footage, protesters chanted “shit your pants,” threw toilet paper.
On Twitter, Bennett also claimed that OU campus police had failed to provide sufficient security for her and her entourage. In a statement, the OU campus police refuted this, saying that not only had Bennett arrived on campus unexpectedly, thus preventing them from staffing up for her arrival, but that the protests “did not rise to the level of a riot.
In the wake of the footage of Bennett’s campus visit going viral, many on the right have attempted to frame the OU campus as a primarily liberal one. Although the campus town of Athens has been viewed as a bastion of liberalism in a predominantly red state, this conception is not entirely true, says Bartek, who self-identifies as conservative. “If I had to guess there were conservatives in the crowd and they just disagree with how she disrespects people,” she says.
“I think she came to OU looking for some sort of reaction whether it be good or bad,” says Sucre. “And she definitely caused a scene.”
