NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2025 / Protect Our Campus mourns the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a husband, father, and fearless advocate for American values and free expression. On the day when America remembers the deadliest terrorist attack in our history, his murder on a university campus not only represents an attack on one man but a warning about what happens when extremism and hate are allowed to flourish unchecked in our academic institutions.

For years, campuses have become breeding grounds for radicalization: Faculty who encourage and glorify encampments and violent protests, administrators who look the other way when terrorism is excused as "resistance," and students emboldened to spread hate speech, harassment, and intimidation.

This climate of impunity has real, deadly consequences. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was not an accident of history. It is the direct outcome of years of administrators failing to enforce accountability, and faculty normalizing extremism instead of educating responsibly.

Protect Our Campus demands immediate change. Universities must:

1. Enforce zero tolerance for faculty and student groups that glorify terrorism, antisemitism, or violence.

2. End the culture of appeasement where hate speech is tolerated under the false guise of "academic freedom."

3. Prioritize campus safety over politics - by strengthening security and ensuring students are free to learn without fear of intimidation.

But this responsibility does not fall on administrators alone. We call on students to report radicalization and speak out against intimidation; parents to demand accountability from the institutions entrusted with their children's education; and university leaders to act decisively before another tragedy strikes.

Charlie Kirk's death must not be in vain. If we truly honor his life and the values he championed, we must ensure that no campus ever again becomes the stage for political violence.

Never again means never again.

Protect Our Campus will continue to fight until every university is a place of safety, learning, and accountability - not extremism and hate.
