Trump critics plan to protest William Barr talk at Notre Dame's law school
SOUTH BEND — If things go as progressives plan, hundreds of people will blow whistles Friday at the corner of Angela Boulevard and Eddy Street to protest a talk on campus by U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
They should have a large audience at the high-visibility intersection as fans gear up for the football game Saturday against rival USC.
Barr will deliver a 4 p.m. talk on religious freedom at the law school's McCartan Courtroom in an event exclusively for law school students and faculty, and students associated with the university’s de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, which is co-sponsoring the event with the law school.
Because the talk is not open to the public, the university has not publicized it, said Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said, though news media will be allowed to cover the event.
Brown said the university has learned Barr will speak on “religious freedom” but had no details.
Two groups, Move On North Central Indiana and Indivisible Indiana District 2, will hand out whistles to protesters, in what they're dubbing,"Whistles for Whistleblowers," a nod to the whistleblower complaint that has led to a U.S. House inquiry of whether to impeach President Donald Trump.
