Charlie Kirk statue commissioned for New College of Florida campus
Florida college announces statue to honor Charlie Kirk
- New College of Florida has announced it will commission a statue of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to be placed on its campus.
- Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot last week during an event at Utah Valley University.
- The statue, which will be privately funded by community leaders, aims to honor Kirk's legacy and symbolize the college's commitment to free speech and civil discourse.
- New College of Florida shared a mock-up of a bronze-like statue of Kirk at a table with a microphone, a nod to the debates he would have on college campuses.
- Utah officials have formally charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and other offenses in connection with Kirk's killing, with Robinson facing a potential death penalty.
