Meanwhile, Kurt's widow Erica, now running things, was set to appear but bailed last minute over security worries. She's catching heat from critics who call her out for caching in on her late husband's legacy. Maddox made it clear Kurt dedicated his life to truth-telling, and she doesn't think he'd back the direction the organization is heading now. No specifics but the message hit hard. Businesses like this could ripple through conservative campus groups, so keep an eye
