Oklahoma Senator Proposes Charlie Kirk Statues and Memorial Plazas
Description
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Shane Jett has filed legislation to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative Turning Point USA leader killed on Sept. 10. Proposals include designating Oct. 14 as “Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day,” requiring every state college to create a “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza,” and commissioning statues of Kirk and his family. Another resolution would recognize Kirk as a “martyr.” Kirk’s legacy remains divisive, as he had faced criticism for past remarks about race and diversity programs.
