On March 1, 2022, Berea College鈥檚 Building Revolution, Anti-Imperialism, and Dissent (BRAID) student group was set to screen the documentary 鈥淯kraine on Fire.鈥 However, after pressure from administrators who falsely presumed the club supported Russian President Vladimir Putin, the club鈥檚 former advisor canceled the screening. On April 8, 蜜桃直播 wrote Berea to explain that the private college cannot simultaneously promise students expressive rights while controlling which views they may espouse on campus. After 蜜桃直播鈥檚 letter, administrators did not interfere when the student group scheduled a new screening of the documentary.
