A protest in response to the Young Conservatives of Texas’ “Criminalize Child Transitions” event took place on Wednesday outside of Curry Hall. The event started at 7 p.m. and hosted Texas House candidate Jeff Younger. Protesters stood outside the building holding signs and chanting their displeasure at Younger’s presence on campus. Younger left the meeting with a police escort who reportedly struck a protester while leaving the scene. The protester was transported off-campus in an ambulance. North Texas Daily photographers were on the scene and captured the protest taking place.

Across campus at Kerr Hall around 9 p.m. multiple cop cars lined Maple St. as Police officers broke up an event happening outside and told those in attendance to leave. Sources at the site say a fight broke out and an ambulance was called. The Daily photographers captured the aftermath of the fight and the police presence on campus.
