Tensions High in Lead-up to Charlie Kirk Anniversary Memorial

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Extremist student groups at Utah Valley University, such as the Students for a Democratic Society, have made plans to protest a Charlie Kirk memorial service being held today inside the school’s UCCU Center. The event, taking place exactly one year after Kirk was murdered on that very campus, plans to honor him as a “faith-filled husband, father, and defender of free speech,” according to a Turning Point USA press release.

If plans made public from these leftist student groups are carried out, students, faculty, and community members attending the memorial in remembrance of Charlie Kirk will be met outside by protesters decrying Kirk as “hateful” and “violent,” and demanding that “the views of Charlie Kirk are not on campus.”

When someone asked for clarification on when the protest on “kirkaversary” would take place, SDS president Collin clarified it would begin at 6:30 PM.
