Kirk’s platform was simple: He believed in free markets, cultural conservatism, patriotism and upholding Christian values. Should university funds be used to train radicalized students for violence at all? How can conservative students be expected to learn from a faculty member who lies about what Kirk said to excuse his murder? But we will not stand idly by while our country is stolen out from underneath us and while vile, far-left rhetoric is used to excuse political violence. Our forefathers laid down their lives to give us this nation, and we believe that we cannot afford to lose it.
