Yet another Lost Cause
“Modern civil rights leader,” no less. Raw Story:
One Republican state lawmaker in Oklahoma now wants to require every public university in the state to erect statues to slain far-right activist Charlie Kirk.
On Friday, Jeffrey Sachs — an assistant professor at Nova Scotia’s Acadia University — called attention to a bill by Oklahoma state senators Shane Jett (R) and Dana Prieto (R) that would mandate every public university in the Sooner State build a “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.” The bill, which has been filed as Senate Bill 1187 and does not yet have a formal name, would force universities to set aside a portion of real estate in a visible public location — like the quad, the student union or main entrance pathways — “to maximize public awareness and utilization.”
Senate Bill 1187 would also make it a requirement for schools to erect a statue of both Kirk and his family, and to include a plaque honoring Kirk as “a voice of a generation, modern civil rights leader, vocal Christian, martyr for truth and faith, and free speech advocate.”
“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.” — Charlie Kirk
“Square or plaza plans shall include a statue of Charlie Kirk sitting at a table with an empty seat across from him or a statue of Charlie Kirk and his wife standing and holding their children in their arms as a central element of the square or plaza design. The statue design and size shall be approved by the Legislature as part of the overall design review and approval process,” the bill reads.
CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): The Civil Rights Act, though, let’s be clear, created a beast, and that beast has now turned into an anti-white weapon.
So, what’s Grover Norquist doing with himself these days? “Our goal is to eventually see a statue, park, or road named after Reagan in all 3,140 counties in the United States.” Let there be airports.
