Dear Auburn University President Roberts:
On Smerconish on Saturday, Eric Trump said that his father did no wrong and that wrong in the extreme was done to his father.

Dear Auburn University President Roberts:

Eric Trump, together with Lara Trump, will come to Auburn on November 5th as part of Turning Point USA's college campus tour. Trump family members coming to Auburn for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA event
I have previously emailed you about Auburn's firing of employees for posting offensive social media posts in connection with Charlie Kirk's assassination, and I suggested alternative protocols that Auburn could follow that would be more supportive of freedom of speech on the Auburn campus. My emails to you are posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Charlie Kirk and robust dialogue in Alabama.
Although I have no connection with Auburn, during the next couple of weeks I will try to provoke conversation on the Auburn campus about the validity of what Eric Trump says that his father did no wrong and that wrong in the extreme was done to his father.
I hope you approve of my trying to provoke such conversation on the Auburn campus.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
