 “I’m very disappointed that UCF has not had a reaction to that yet,†UCF College Republicans Chairwoman Karis Lockhart said by phone.
“It’s contradictory, because they’re willing to fight people for different beliefs,†UCF student Ladranicia Lynch said.

“No one should be trying to incite violence, using force, in any way,†UCF student Stephen Rice said.
“Knights for Socialism is committed to fighting for intersectional justice on campus and in the Orlando community. We stand with marginalized communities facing all kinds of persecution, whether it be because of their ethnicity, their immigration status, their gender, who they love, or the size of their income.
Knights for Socialism exists to bring together passionate students who want to take direct action to improve, protect, and serve their community.
In light of recent events on campus, around the state, and throughout the country, we’ve heard concerns from fellow colleagues who now don’t feel safe doing normal things like studying at the library. This past week, we held the first of many events geared towards improving students’ sense of safety on campus. While there was apparent controversy over the marketing for the event, we stand committed to building positive relationships with students of all ideologies. Last semester, we participated in a debate with campus libertarians, and we look forward to discussing and debating our ideas in the future.â€
