It\u2019s the same thing our work as journalists is built on. And that this country is built on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why, as Utah governor Spencer Cox&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/5500920-cox-speech-reject-political-violence\/\">put it today<\/a>, the murder of Kirk is \u201cmuch bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirk was assassinated for those ideals. He was at that college campus in Utah\u2014the very institution meant to be a bastion of freedom of conscience and speech\u2014because he wanted to promote debate. This is the very act that gave birth to this nation, and the only thing that will ensure its survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fear his assassination represents a watershed moment for free expression in this country. We worry that his murder will have a profound chilling effect\u2014that people will shy away from open discussion, that they will avoid honest debate, and that they will turn away from sticking their neck out for fear that engaging with their fellow citizens might mean an engraved bullet will be meant for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must not let that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The principles we once took for granted in this country\u2014that civil debate is how Americans sorted out their differences; that losing an election was not an apocalyptic event but simply meant we had to try harder to persuade our fellow citizens in the next one\u2014feel endangered in a way they didn\u2019t a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Utah Governor Spencer Cox put it today, the murder of Charlie Kirk is \u201cmuch bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acceleration of political violence has been frightening: from the attack on the Capitol in January 2021, to the murder of a healthcare executive allegedly by Luigi Mangione, to the attempted assassinations of Trump, to the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., to the shooting of state lawmakers in Minnesota. And now Kirk\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many guilty parties in the rise of political violence. But to our minds, among the biggest culprits are the universities. In the same way that madrassas radicalize jihadis, America\u2019s campuses are among the places in the U.S.&nbsp;<em>most<\/em>&nbsp;hostile to disagreement and debate. Where they preach \u201cinclusion,\u201d they actually practice exclusion\u2014shouting down speakers they disagree with, for instance. Where they promote \u201cdiversity,\u201d they actually enforce a uniformity of thought, denying tenure to dissenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very fact that Kirk had to have armed bodyguards and appears to have been wearing a bulletproof vest is a sign of how far things had already unraveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intolerance on college and university campuses is nothing new, of course. It goes back at least several decades, as shown by Allan Bloom\u2019s&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/93116\/9781451683202\">The Closing of the American Mind<\/a><\/em>, published in 1987. But you needn\u2019t go back that far to see clearly the toxic, hostile, illiberal environments these places have become. Think back to 2017, when the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California at Berkeley\u2014and the school had to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.berkeleyside.org\/2018\/02\/06\/uc-berkeley-spent-close-4m-security-just-one-month-2017\">spend $836,421<\/a>&nbsp;on security, which included dozens of police in full riot gear who created a perimeter around the hall where he spoke.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcax.com\/content\/news\/Citing-safety-Middlebury-College-cancels-Polish-conservatives-speech-508764551.html\">Again and<\/a>&nbsp;again&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefire.org\/research-learn\/campus-deplatforming-database?orderdir=desc&amp;orderby=year\">in recent years<\/a>, colleges and universities have had to cancel speaking engagements by nonprogressive speakers in the name of \u201cpublic safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very fact that Charlie Kirk had to have armed bodyguards and appears to have been wearing a bulletproof vest is a sign of how far things had already unraveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Sean Fischer and Maya Sulkin note in a story we&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/students-celebrating-murder-charlie-kirk\">published today<\/a>, 34 percent of college students believe that the use of violence to prevent someone from speaking on campus is acceptable, according to a survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Another&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/today.yougov.com\/topics\/society\/survey-results\/daily\/2025\/09\/11\/0d4bd\/3\">recent poll<\/a>&nbsp;showed that 20 percent of young Americans\u2014those between the ages of 18 and 29\u2014think that \u201cviolence can sometimes be justified.\u201d Those are astonishing statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To counter this trend\u2014which holds the potential to tear this nation apart\u2014we believe schools should consider making a condition of enrollment the recognition that words are not violence, that violence is unacceptable on campus, and that so is silencing those with whom one disagrees. Students should be told that violation of this compact will result in serious penalties, including expulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think that\u2019s a low bar. But it\u2019s apparently one that a third of college students would fail to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, in the face of this horrific act, colleges and universities must not take Kirk\u2019s assassination as an opportunity to use security concerns to prevent speakers with heterodox views from appearing on campus. They must find a way to make it work. To fail to do so would be to fail at their very mission, and to create an \u201cassassin\u2019s veto.\u201d One obvious idea would be to set up a tent in the style of Kirk and invite speakers with differing political views. A university town square, you might say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"image-link image2\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!hSNZ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fece7008c-8421-4962-b4bd-c243f94d11a5_1320x30.heic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!hSNZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fece7008c-8421-4962-b4bd-c243f94d11a5_1320x30.heic\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirk was murdered while doing something that we have been trying to do at&nbsp;<em>The Free Press<\/em>&nbsp;from the very beginning: Invite debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a different project, and practice a different rhetorical style from Kirk.
