OK GOP'er Wants To Force Colleges To Build Charlie Kirk Statues - The Logical Leftist

[TexasTowelie]

In a controversial move, Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett (R) is pushing legislation that would require public universities in the state to erect statues of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk. This bill mandates the creation of “Charlie Kirk Memorial” plazas on college campuses by March 2028, complete with signs celebrating Kirk as a “voice of a generation” and a “modern civil rights leader.” But is this really the legacy we want to honor?

Join us as we dive into the implications of this legislation, the questionable claims surrounding Kirk's civil rights stance, and the broader conversation about public funding for memorials. Is this a misuse of taxpayer dollars, or a legitimate tribute to a controversial figure?

We’ll also explore other bills proposed by Jett, including designating October 14 as “Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day.” What does this mean for students and the future of free speech on campuses?
