The department chair of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Alabama in Huntsville expressed strong resentment in recent social media posts for fallen Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, attempting to belittle Kirk's well-established Christian faith.
Leslie Maxwell Kaiura is a self-proclaimed "progressive Christian feminist and LGBTQ ally."
"It is spiritually exhausting and demoralizing to see Christians praising a man who used racist, sexist, homo/transphobic language and minimized the problem of gun violence," she wrote. "Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the 'sinners' of his day with mockery or rejection."
Kaiura shared a post, again attacking Kirk's faith, while alluding to the late father of two as a "white supremacist."
"When someone says Charlie Kirk was a good Christian man, what they're really saying is that Christianity and White Supremacy are the same thing," the post read.
Another post from Kaiura said, "Christians against Christian Nationalism."
Others on her Facebook made references to "fascism" and "Nazis."
"Next time you think art doesn't matter, consider how scared fascists are of sidewalk chalk." The words "sidewalk chalk" were displayed in rainbow lettering.
She also suggested that Fox News host Brian Kilmeade was a NAZI and stated, "and yet they wonder why they get called NAZIS."
“never actually listened to Charlie Kirk”
I think you’ve made the most important point of all regarding the response of leftist to this assassination.
It’s very likely most never even bothered listening to Charlie, maybe they didn’t even know who he was before his death.
Then they hear things people have made up, such as Charlie supposedly supporting the stoning of gay people, and assume it’s true.
Thus the “I’ve heard he was a Nazi, and don’t you want Nazis dead?” line of reasoning.
“She also suggested that Fox News host Brian Kilmeade was a NAZI and stated, “and yet they wonder why they get called NAZIS.”
Well, I do wonder why they get called Nazis, but as Curtis LeMay said when advocating for bombing Cambodia and Laos, “Everybody thinks we are doing it anyway. If you’ve got the onus, might as well get the bonus”.
Different school... The UAH is a R1 level research university located in Huntsville. In the top rankings nationally and world wide. It’s a well kept secret, for the most part. The University of Alabama is located in Tuscaloosa. The only current connection between the two might be that they share the same Board of Regents. There was a prior connection up until 1968 when what is now UAH was THE engineering school for U of A which now has an engineering school of its own. I’m surprised to see someone at UAH opening up their mouth as this woman has, as for the most part you see very little politics discussed there. The kids are too busy working on getting their education. My conservative son is in his junior year with a dual major in chemistry and biology (full academic scholarship, BTW - yes, I’m very proud of him. He always shares with me what political discussions he hears. The school is situated in the heart of a research park and is surrounded by big name aerospace, computer, and biotechnology firms that poor lots of money into scholarships, thus growing their future employees right in their own backyard. Internships between junior and senior years in your specific field are the norm.
If there is much exposure of this story, I’d say she will be invited to leave or otherwise forced to do so. Alabama is deep enough red that people will demand it, just as has happened here in Tennessee. By my last count, there have been seven firings at state universities here in my home state. UAH is only an hour and a half from me, and area that surrounds the Huntsville MSA is very conservative & agrarian, with a heavy Christian presence. It will be interesting to see what happens to her.
Call Governor Mee Maw. It appears we got a high steppah here. You know they say about a high steppah….
…..Sorry Alabama inside joke.
RLTW
I’m in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. Most of our TV stations are in Alabama.........
People like that get to be department chairs because Republican legislators have fallen asleep.
This just in ... International Court to prosecute God for destroying Sodom and Gomorrah
Still employed?
It’s not like Jesus said ‘SIN NO MORE” or anything...
“Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the ‘sinners’ of his day with mockery or rejection.”
Neither did Charlie.
She must not have read the first chapter of Romans.
“”Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the ‘sinners’ of his day with mockery or rejection.””
Jesus said “go and sin no more”
He didn’t encourage people to sin and act wickedly .
I hope her life in Alabama is pure hell!
Looks the part.
Actually, there are TWO words that don’t belong in this person’s post: Christian and progressive!
Certainly there is nothing “Christian” about the messages that people who trash Charlie Kirk post, but there is also nothing “progressive” about the vile hatred the have for anyone who does not conform to their world view!
It is not Kirk and his supporters who are hate-filled fascists—but themselves!
Leftists have hijacked the word ‘Progressive’ to mean Marxist ideology.......
It’s like a requirement or something..............
Yes, and it is ironic, because the loud voices of so many progressives sound like tantrums coming from bratty little kids who never “progressed” to adulthood!
“ Why do all leftist women look androgynous? or hippopotamus?
They tend to cover both ends of the weight range.
At least they identify themselves with colored or shaved hair. The crazy white girls sometimes have African sounding names and wear leopard prints. Or they just have the deer in the headlight stupidity written on their face.
