The Department of Education has triggered a fair amount of confusion and outrage by hanging a banner of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside its headquarters. The move comes as the country gears up to celebrate its 250th birthday, and it’s definitely causing a stir, especially considering who Kirk is displayed alongside.
Charlie Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA to push conservative values on college campuses across the nation, was assassinated last year at Utah Valley University. His attacker, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is now facing charges for aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. Prosecutors are even seeking the death penalty.
