The New College of Florida (NCF), which has undergone a right-wing transformation led by Governor Ron DeSantis in recent years, said it will commission a statue honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was killed by a gunshot at Utah Valley University two weeks ago.
According to a press release, the statue will be funded by private donors, and its exact location will be announced in the coming months.
In Oklahoma, a new bill introduced by Republican lawmakers the day after NCF’s announcement would mandate every public university in the state to erect a dedicated “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza” or face monthly fines.
Both organizations have decried the wave of repression, which notoriously led to the suspension of popular late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
Disney, which owns ABC, where Kimmel’s show airs, said in a statement on Monday that it would reinstate the program.
