Overview

  • Individuals wearing MAGA hats and identifying as Fearless Debates appeared at Tennessee State University around 3 p.m. on Sept. 23 without prior approval.
  • Signs at their table read “DEI should be illegal” and “Deport all illegals now,” which drew vocal pushback from students captured on cellphone video.
  • TSU stated the group was unaffiliated and said campus police and staff escorted them off university grounds without incident, praising students’ conduct.
  • The Nashville NAACP condemned the appearance as deliberate provocation and urged HBCUs and local leaders to stay alert.
  • Group members cite inspiration from conservative figure Charlie Kirk and say they plan to continue an unannounced campus tour following his fatal shooting earlier this month.
