Students Protest Kirk Memorial at UVU | Portland Maine News
from Portland Maine News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Utah Valley University students are preparing for a peaceful protest this Thursday, one year after Charlie Kirk’s death on campus, as they oppose a private memorial and any permanent tribute. SDS, the student group organizing, held de-escalation training to ensure calm demonstrations with signs like “no Kirk on campus” and “UVU is a place for unity, not division.” The university is closing for the day, promoting reflection and community service, while the memorial will be held just steps away from the protest. National conservatives have criticized the students, but SDS leader Collin Grannis insists on nonviolent tactics, teaching members to avoid confrontation and maintain open body language. Campus security is being ramped up, as officials strive to balance free speech with safety amid rising tensions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
