An anti-racism march took place at the University of North Florida on November 20 as a conduct hearing was being held for a student suspended for a social media post described by the university as threatening.

News4jax reported that UNF student Ken Parker, 37, was suspended after posting a “threatening message and a disturbing image” on social media.

Video from the rally shared by UNF Spinnaker, the student news organization at the university, shows demonstrators shouting, “No Nazis, no KKK, no fascist USA,” as well as other anti-racism chants. They also chanted as Parker entered his hearing at the University’s Alumni Hall.

The rally was organized by Students for a Democratic Society in response to a Facebook post urging people to rally in support of Parker, local media reported. As of 9 am, no supporters of Parker were seen in the area, reports said. Credit: Facebook/UNF Spinnaker via Storyful
