He would have been hosted by the schools Turning Point USA chapter.LSU condemned political violence in a general sense, however, not pointing out how much of recent political violence comes from the left.“Politically motivated violence of this nature is intended to instill fear in the populace and to force conformity of political, social, and economic thought, “LSU Board Chair Scott Ballard and Interim President Matt Lee write in their message announcing the lecture series.”“Antithetical to core American and LSU values, such extreme violence must be met with intentional and civil dialogue that will educate our community and give them the tools to engage in and promote reasoned civic discourse,” they continue.The Vice President of the TPUSA chapter on campus told Campus Reform, “We’re thrilled.”“When I started LSU in 2021, conservative voices were not wanted, let alone funded and supported,” Vogin said.Now, the Turning Point USA chapter at LSU executives will play a role in hosting speakers for the lecture series.“It shows that LSU is open to conservatives, and LSU is not going to put up with liberal bias viewpoint discrimination anymore, and that is what I’m so proud of,” Vogin added.The school’s memorandum states, “LSU prides itself on upholding free expression and believes that a culture of intense inquiry and informed argument generates lasting ideas.”One can only hope more universities will change their ways and give conservatives a voice in memory of Charlie Kirk.The post LSU To Honor Charlie Kirk Through Lecture Series Promoting Free Speech appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
