**Conservative Activists Spark Outrage at Tennessee State University with Unannounced Visit**
**NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) —** A group of conservative activists affiliated with the “Fearless Debates Tour” sparked controversy and outrage at Tennessee State University (TSU) on Tuesday after appearing unannounced on campus.
The tour, reportedly created to honor the late conservative figure Charlie Kirk and promote open dialogue on political topics, featured activists Lance Johnston and Cam Higby. They displayed signs advocating controversial positions, including making “DEI illegal” and calling for the deportation of “all illegals.”
According to Higby, the tour aims to engage with those holding opposing viewpoints. “If you want to talk to people who disagree with you, you go to the place where people disagree with you,” Higby stated.
However, the unannounced appearance and the nature of the topics sparked immediate backlash from many TSU students. While the university’s official response was not detailed in the initial report, the incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding political discourse on college campuses.
The Fearless Debates tour intends to continue its visits to colleges and universities, but will not announce their destinations due to safety concerns.
