Bradlee Dean Visit To SCSU Meets Protest
On Tuesday, April 24, 2012 the College Republicans at St. Cloud State University hosted Evangelical performer Bradlee Dean at the Ritsche Auditorium on campus. This event was controversial on two different fronts. First, the Minnesota Republican Party warned the SCSU College Republicans to not hold the event based upon the nature of Dean’s performance and have threatened to revoke their charter and blacklist members from jobs and internships within the Republican Party.
Second, the greater St. Cloud community came together to protest Dean’s message. In this report by KVSC’s Emily Haeg, we hear from many who attended the event. At air time, however, the MN Republican Party, after multiple attempts at contacting them, had not responded about removing the SCSU College Republicans from their website.
