Conservative Gettysburg College group catches student on video tearing down promotional flyers
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A video captured by a member of a conservative campus group at a private Pennsylvania college shows a student tearing down its promotional flyers, according to the group.
The Young America’s Foundation (YAF) chapter at Gettysburg College hosted conservative author and speaker Vince Ellison on Nov. 20. Days before the event, the group posted advertisements for the event around campus.
But according to Gettysburg College YAF Chairman Tyler Seeman, students who oppose right-leaning ideals tore down the chapter’s flyers — something Seeman says happens every semester when the campus group hosts an event — and one of them was caught on camera.
“Every semester, Gettysburg YAF has a campus lecture. So, we invite one of the speakers from YAF’s speaker list to come to campus and discuss whatever their specialty is,” Seeman told Fox News Digital.

In the video, a YAF member climbs a flight of stairs after seeing a student pulling the group’s flyers off the wall, and races to confront the alleged perpetrator.
“You having fun?” the YAF member asks.
“Yeah,” the student quickly replies.
“You know that’s against college policy, right?” the YAF member asks.
“OK,” the student says, before falling silent.
The YAF member then chastised the student for not making it out of the building before being caught red-handed.
“We’ve got more of those [flyers] in the stairwell, you wanna go get those too?” the YAF member asks.
“I don’t know,” the student replies.
The YAF member then escorts the alleged perpetrator out of the building.

He said that every semester, the group posts flyers to advertise its event, like all campus groups do.
“Every semester, students on campus tear our flyers down because we’re the only conservative 501(c)(3) on campus that actually hosts campus lectures,” Seeman said. “So, some students feel, I would presume, that our views and our speakers’ statements are contrary or dangerous to their own perspectives and their own worldview.”
Seeman characterized the school as “apathetic” toward the chapter’s plight. He said that on one occasion, the school sent out an email to some students condemning the behavior of YAF’s opponents, but on another occasion, school administrators declined a request to admonish bad actors.

“Removing flyers posted in accordance with our posting policy is a violation of our community standards,” Gettysburg College spokesperson Jamie White told Fox News Digital. “Students in violation of this policy are subject to sanctions by the College.”

“While federal law prohibits us from answering questions about specific student cases, I can say it would be highly unusual for such behavior not to be sanctioned,” White said.
Seeman shared a message to those on campus who oppose YAF’s views.
“Instead of tearing down flyers, show up to our events and ask questions, because we want to have that dialogue,” he said.
“At the end of the day, that’s just going to get everyone in the room thinking about these issues, and we’d rather have as many people thinking about these issues and talking about these issues as possible, rather than just tearing down flyers and trying to silence other people’s speech, because that’s not constructive.”
YAF is no stranger to left-wing targeting on campus.
Their chapter at the University of Iowa was subject to a table-flipping incident last month.

LYME — A body was recovered from the Connecticut River on Saturday, according to officials from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
At about 1 p.m., a vessel on the river reported seeing a body in the area of the Chester-Lyme Ferry, DEEP said.
The Environmental Conservation Police, along with the Connecticut State Police Major Crimes Unit and Lyme and Cheshire fire departments, responded to the area and recovered the body, DEEP said. The body has been sent to the state chief medical examiner, DEEP said.
Bill Flood, a media relations manager for DEEP, said the body was identified as a male and appeared to have been in the water for an extended period of time.
The medical examiner will determine the manner of death and EnCon is investigating, Flood said, noting there is no believed threat to the public.

Massachusetts town near Gillette Stadium presses for World Cup security funding
Up the road from Gillette Stadium, a town neighboring Foxboro is pressing for funding to meet public safety demands arising from the World Cup, with the first match just over a month away.
Walpole’s state delegation has written a letter to the state Office of Travel and Tourism requesting approval of the town’s request for nearly $200,000 to support “essential public safety personnel,” as officials expect “significant spillover impacts” from the premier soccer tournament.
As the Walpole/Foxboro town line on Route 1 is a handful of miles north of Gillette Stadium, officials are expecting increased traffic congestion and pedestrian activity to amount to “heightened public safety demands.”
“As outlined in the Town’s proposal,” the state delegation wrote in the letter it sent to the state last week, “Walpole will play a critical role in ensuring safe and efficient operations for both residents and visitors.”
“This funding will help close a critical gap and ensure that Walpole can safely support this internationally significant event,” the delegation added.
The state Office of Travel and Tourism confirmed to the Herald that it received the letter from state Reps. John H. Rogers, Paul McMurtry, Ted Philips and Marcus Vaughn and Sen. Mike Rush. The office said it will announce decisions in the coming weeks about round two of the $2 million grant program that supports municipal public safety needs tied to the World Cup.
The first round of the program, a $10 million competitive initiative, awarded funding earlier this year to 17 communities to support tournament-related events, including fan festivals, watch parties and regional activations.
This comes after the Foxboro Select Board battled the Boston Soccer 2026 nonprofit host committee and Kraft Sports & Entertainment, which operates Gillette Stadium, for months to ensure it received full funding to cover all security personnel and equipment.
In mid-March, the David vs. Goliath fight concluded, with Boston Soccer 2026 and the Krafts agreeing to cover Foxboro’s $7.8 million request.
Gillette, which will be rebranded as “Boston Stadium,” is set to host seven matches – five in the group stage and two knockout games – between June 13 and July 9. The World Cup is considered a SEAR 1 event, the highest risk level for public gatherings in the country.
“These matches will bring an excitement that this town has never seen,” Foxboro Police Chief Michael Grace said before the Select Board voted to grant an entertainment license for the matches to go on.
