Watch: Charlie Kirk’s 2022 Educate Don’t Mandate Tour at the University of Arkansas
In 2022, the late Charlie Kirk came to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville as part of Turning Point USA’s “Educate Don’t Mandate Tour.”
Charlie spent an hour and a half speaking to the crowd and answering questions from individuals — many of whom disagreed with him.
Toward the end of his remarks, Kirk told a high school student:
If you make the decision to be an open conservative in your life it will come with a cost. It is unavoidable. … You’re going to be bullied. You’ll be called names. You’ll be ridiculed … But what’s really important is are you developing the soul of an individual? And when you’re fighting for things that are virtuous, and you’re getting backlash for them, that’s a great thing for a young person to go through. In fact it’s an essential thing for a young person to go through.
Charlie Kirk was tragically murdered on September 10 at an event on a college campus in Utah.
