Protesters from a group called Official Street Preachers displayed offensive signs at Texas State University on Wednesday, including messages stating "women are property." This sparked outrage among students, leading to a counter-protest that surrounded the demonstrators. The group, which is not affiliated with the university, was allowed on campus as it is a public space. Campus police monitored the situation, but no arrests were made. University President Kelly Damphousse condemned the hateful messages and emphasized the university's commitment to free speech. The protest occurred shortly after the recent presidential election, prompting discussions about the rise of extremist views. The incident has drawn national attention, with some calling for changes to how free speech is managed on campus.
