Memorials should be built for someone who connects and inspires people. Not someone who was divisive and spread a lot of hatred towards the most targeted people. Building a memorial for him would be harmful to thousands in the community by telling them that Charlie’s hate towards them is inspiring.
Camilla supported: Prevent Charlie Kirk Memorial at UVU"UVU is a place for you" is one of the first things I say to people when I tell them to check it out as an option for school. I loved my time at UVU and made lifelong friends. The reason for that being that I felt so welcomed and safe. I don't agree whatsoever with what Charlie Kirk was spreading. I feel sad that his family will have to continue life without him, but I dont feel as though he needs a memorial dedicated to him. I dont think he stood for inclusion and equality like UVU does.
Eboni supported: Prevent Charlie Kirk Memorial at UVU
I was on campus when Mr. Kirk was attacked. I did not want him at UVU to begin with, but I do mourn the fact that he was killed.
However, I am transgender. I do not believe he would have mourned my death if I had been shot instead.
The media has largely reflected this event as though he was a perfect man. In reality, many students did not want him at UVU because of his hateful politics and debates.
Please do not treat this event as though there is no nuance. If a permanent memorial is created on campus, please allow it to show all sides of the story, instead of immortalizing one point of view.
Elias supported: UVU's Monuments Should Align With Its Commitment to Inclusion and BelongingI am a wheeling high school alumni, former high school teacher, and GSA sponsor. Elevating Charlie Kirk to such a high honor would send a message opposite of inclusivity and not take into account the many populations he defamed throughout his career.
Kim supported: Opposing Position to Honoring Charlie Kirk in D214 SchoolsWhen Hook saw me using a shitty walmart backpack that was falling apart because of how heavy it was, he gave me one of his that needed minor repairs. That backpack would have cost me 200 dollars new. When i couldn't afford the art supplies for his class, he gave me some to keep that i still use today. He's one of the most kind, supportive, and understanding professors i have ever had. He doesn't deserve to lose his job for this. Freedom of speech fir all, nkt just who you agree with.
Dylan supported: Protect the freedom of speech on American campuses - Reinstate Michael Hook!There is not a single reason for having split lunches that couldn’t be fixed by simply having longer lunches. I can only speak for Ballard High School, but the one issue that split lunches fixes is that people who get school lunch will be able to get their food more quickly, and overall this new schedule raises way more problems than it solves. For example, since classrooms will be in use during lunch, clubs won’t be able to meet and will have to be pushed to after school, which is not possible for many club leaders. There’s also the issue of test retakes. I know at least for my geometry class, lunch is the only time we can make up or retake tests, which will no longer be possible because of the classroom being in use during lunch. Aside from that, for many students lunch is the only time time that they can relax with their friends and take a break from the stressfulness of school. I understand that this was an executive decision by the district and that individual schools didn’t have a choice in this matter, but splitting lunches makes absolutely no sense for anyone.
Eva supported: No More Schedule ChangesYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
