Make Oct. 14 a day to honor George Floyd, not Kirk
[]
Workers World
Congress passed a bill on Sept. 19 declaring Oct. 14 as a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.” The October date is Kirk’s birthday.
Kirk, an ultraright winger, was assassinated on Sept. 10 during a MAGA rally at a college in Utah.
Oct. 14 is the birthdate for another high profile figure — George Floyd.
To make Oct. 14 a day of remembrance for an outright white supremacist goes way beyond being an outrage.
To counter honoring someone as despicable as Kirk, the U.S. left should declare Oct. 14 as a national day of remembrance for George Floyd and other well-known victims of police and other forms of neo-fascist terror.
