Pro Vice-Chancellor of University of Buckingham, Harriet Dunbar-Morris, released a statement on behalf of the University about Charlie Kirk. She is attempting to make him a martyr and claim he is a champion of free speech.
The truth is that Charlie Kirk was a far-right activist who encouraged and promoted violence, racism, firearms, and even went as far as saying he would forbid his 10-year-old daughter from aborting a pregnancy conceived because of rape.
Harriet Dunbar-Morris statement:
As the University's Free Speech Officer, I felt it important to comment on the tragic loss of Mr Charlie Kirk. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk's friends and family at this difficult time.
This is a grievous blow, not merely the loss of an individual, but a blow to the ideals of free speech. He stood for the discipline of free inquiry: that convictions should be tested through dialogue, that citizens should be free to speak across their differences, and that truth must prevail over a Zeitgeist, unevidenced assertions, or the unexamined consensus of the moment.
In this, his vision resonates deeply with The University of Buckingham. As the UK's bastion of free speech in higher education, we too affirm that disagreement is not a danger, but the very safeguard of truth.
We must therefore recommit ourselves to this charge: to defend intellectual freedom without compromise, to resist the silencing of reason in all its forms, and to preserve the open contest of ideas upon which both scholarship and democracy depend.
Charlie Kirk's death is a stark reminder of the fragility of rational discourse in our age, and of the courage required to protect it. At Buckingham, we reaffirm with renewed solemnity our duty to safeguard the liberty of thought and speech that make genuine learning possible.
While that might sound like a statement about a resonable person, Charlie Kirk was not reasonable or just. These are the views that Harriet Dunbar-Morris and University of Buckingham share with Mr Charlie Kirk:
Mass murders by shooting guns are acceptable in order to have the 2nd amendment in USA's constitution .
Gay people should be stoned to death (according to the Bible that he preached from).
Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane.
Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
Nobody should be allowed to retire.
Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states.
British Colonialism was what "made the world decent".
The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out.
Religious freedom should be terminated.
Multiple black politicians "stole white people's spots"
Martin Luther King Jr was "an awful person".
The Great Replacement Theory is reality.
Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID.
Vaccine requirements are "medical apartheid".
Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK
Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control.
George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake".
Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates.
Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11.
Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization.
Women's natural place is under their husband's control.
I would seriously question whether the University of Buckingham is a credible university and one that you'd want to study at if they support such extremist views.
