It’s surprising to me how many leftists there are in Utah and the “Mormon stovepipe” area of ID and WY. I saw some with the “8647” signs during the NoKings protests. They can’t all be from California...

They’d rather see statues of Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx.

I honestly pity these students. They are going to graduate and leave campus at some point only to find out that the world does not give a rat’s fuzzy butt about their “feelings”. They’re going to hear, see, and be exposed to things they do not agree with and have not acquired the tools to mentally handle it.

They will not have a Democratic Socialist Student Union to join and organize a protest. No petitions to sign. Nobody is going to care about anything other than their job performance. Reality is going to kick them squarely between the legs.

They hate it because it’s a reminder to everyone that they are violent and utterly intolerant individuals.

The Marxist virus has infected every college campus.

These liberal students are only going to be there for four years or less, and never go back to the campus once they leave the school. Why should they have any say, or complain about any memorial that is placed there, especially since no one is asking them to contribute to it.

In my younger years and even today, I’ve always believed no one has any smarts or common sense until the age of 25 - when someone reached 25, and if warranted, I raised it to 35 and then - yep - you guessed it - it got to 45...A neighbor once said, “I’m 25 today. Am I smart now?” It was “yes” for her but that wasn’t always the case.

Same with the college students at the university in UT AND every one across the country with an exception made for Hillsdale...

Frightening and they’ll be running the country some day?? No different from watching the hippies in the ‘60’s, I guess. They never learned either! They ran for state/federal office/congress.....

The statue doesn’t belong there because it is pure politics.

Overflow from the West Coast ... they did it to Oregon, Washington and they will drag their Satanist values with them wherever they go.

Rename a building on campus for Charlie and see how that gets handled. “Charlie Kirk Memorial Hall” with a warning that the name has a 24-hour monitoring camera aimed at it would certainly defang many of them.

Put a statue up at Hillsdale College where it will be appreciated. There are other statues of great Americans there already. Charlie has an honorary doctorate from there anyway

“The UVU Students for a Democratic Society led the protests this week.”

Those students should be removed from the campus. Why would anyone want people like that at their school?

Excellent idea for Hillsdale College. A short 25 minutes from my home.

“Sad how education system screws up so many youth these days.”

I went to private Universities.
Public Universities suck!

Public Universities are very
political, virtually unlimited
income, they don’t care, so
they are political.
Private Universities will go broke
if they don’t educate.
I once had a class where the Prof
got on bitching about Republicans.
made an appointment with the dean.
I explained I’m paying over $1000
for this class to learn what he knows,
not what he believes. It was a
advanced Math class.
Problem was fixed.
I think I earned a “B” in that class.
I was an older, working, married student,
Vietnam era Vet,
Not the usual student.
Hopefully my complaint helped a lot of younger
people just starting out in life.

I’d love to see ALL federal dollars yanked from ALL colleges. Why do we have to pay for this crap?
