On April 8, The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles went to The University of Utah to give a speech, sponsored by Young America's Foundation (YAF), on the problems with transgender ideology. Following the pattern of what many conservative speakers face on college campuses, Knowles was met with protestors. It later became evident that these protests were a part of the school's "Pride celebration" that had been extended an additional week by Philip Osteen, the dean of the university's College of Social Work.
