Charlie Kirk was senselessly gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025 — a brutal attack that sent shockwaves through every community that believes in free speech and the pursuit of truth. Authorities moved quickly and arrested a suspect, who has since been charged in the killing, underscoring how real and immediate the danger has become for conservative voices on campus. This was not an accident; it was a targeted act against a man who spent his life fighting for young Americans and the Gospel.
Pastor Lucas Miles, who worked alongside Charlie and wrote a foreword that would be among his last published words, told Newsmax that Kirk knew the risks and chose to keep going anyway because his mission mattered more than his personal safety. Miles described Kirk as a believer who saw his outreach to students as a calling, not a career, and who refused to let threats silence the truth. That courage is the kind of example our country needs — men and women willing to stand in the breach when institutions bow to intimidation.
Miles has also warned that what we’re facing is more than politics; he calls it a pagan, ideological movement that seeks to supplant Christianity and conservative values with woke orthodoxy. This language may make the left bristle, but it captures something Americans are watching unfold in real time on campuses and in corporate speech codes — a willful effort to delegitimize faith and dissent. Conservatives must stop apologizing for calling out the ideological march that radicalizes young people and, in some cases, breeds violent antagonism toward those who speak plainly about God, country, and liberty.
Enough with the hand-wringing about “both sides” when the facts show universities routinely failed to provide even basic protections at that event — no metal detectors, few bag checks, and a tolerance for staging that left students and speakers exposed. When institutions treat debate like a publicity stunt instead of a duty to protect life and ideas, they betray both the students they claim to serve and the principles of civil society. It’s past time for college administrators to be held accountable and for conservative organizations to demand real security and transparency at every campus engagement.
The response from patriots across the country has been unwavering: a massive memorial, an outpouring of support for the Kirk family, and a firm decision by Turning Point USA to carry on the mission Charlie built. We honor his legacy not by retreating in fear but by filling the gaps he left — by going back on campus, by preaching the Gospel, and by refusing to let violent intimidation shut down the fight for the next generation. If the left truly cared about peace and safety, it would denounce the culture of rage it helped create and join us in defending the fundamental American freedoms Charlie died championing.
