Protests prompt Beloit College to cancel Erik Prince lecture

(Beloit, WI) -- Leaders at Beloit College say they are dedicated to open dialogue, but they canceled a speech by the founder of the former Blackwater firm because of student protests. The school pulled the plug on Erik Prince's speech Wednesday after students banged drums and tossed chairs on the stage. A conservative student group invited Prince to come to the school and speak. Prince later said his free speech rights were violated.
