“We Don’t Want His Likeness On Campus”: Protesters Move to Block Kirk Memorial at UVU
26th October 2025
A plan at Utah Valley University (UVU) to create a memorial to Charlie Kirk has been met by protests and a petition signed by thousands to block the effort.
One protester declared, “We don’t want his likeness on campus.”
That is hardly a new sentiment since Kirk was assassinated on the campus on Sept. 10, 2025.
However, the protest shows the sense of license that many have in opposing anyone with conflicting views, including those represented in memorials.
