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 UVUI 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 SchoolsI fully support this petition because no one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or threatened online. The behavior that has been displayed toward members of the Haitian community, women, and individuals in the LGBT community is unacceptable. Using a platform to spread hate, make threats, or cause emotional harm to others — including artists like Marc D and many others — should not be normalized.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to intimidate or traumatize people. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram should be spaces where people feel safe to express themselves without fear of harassment.
Accountability matters. Respect matters. Our communities deserve better.
Ed supported: Say no to bullying, harassment and threateningI extend my strongest recommendation for the reinstatement of Melissa Calhoun at Satellite High School. I have known her since she was 16 as a student in my classroom, and I have watched her flourish as a teacher in her adulthood, from her work at DeLaura Middle School where she inspired so many young people including our son, to her work at Satellite High School where she has not only poured her heart into teaching but also to developing strong bonds with students and their families. She truly is the best of the best. Please reinstate her. It is unquestionably the right thing to do.
Joanna supported: Reinstate Ms. Calhoun: Advocate for Respect and Student RightsI was a student under Mrs Calhoun for 2 years, she was always a safe place to go for anyone having trouble. Mrs Calhoun is compassionate, always there to listen, and it absolutely crushed me when I heard the news. This is completely unacceptable and a step backwards in history, I fully support the reinstatement of Mrs Calhoun.
Lily supported: Reinstate Ms. Calhoun: Advocate for Respect and Student RightsI was absolutely disgusted to hear about the injustice that has been inflicted upon Mrs Calhoun, for simply being respectful of her students request. I wholeheartedly support the reinstatement of this incredible teacher. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her outside of school settings on two different occasions, once when she was on an evening walk with her daughters and again during a garage sale a few months ago. I didnt know it but she told me that she actually taught my now 23 year old son back when she was still at Delaura! That alone speaks volumes about her character and the genuine care she has for her students. When I asked my son if he remembered her, he said that if more teachers were as kind, patient and encouraging as she is, he would have enjoyed school more. She is truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. We need more educators like her in our community — compassionate, dedicated, and sincerely invested in the lives of those she teaches.
