Education Department hangs banner of Charlie Kirk

Source: The Hill

03/01/26 5:46 PM ET


The Department of Education hung a banner of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside its headquarters as the country prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday.

Kirk was publicly assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University last year by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged with multiple crimes, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in their case against Robinson.

Kirk founded Turning Point USA to promote conservative values on college campuses across the country. President Trump and Vice President Vance have credited him for helping them win the 2024 election.

Kirk’s image hangs alongside separate banners honoring Catharine Beecher and Booker T. Washington. A banner next to them reads “Empowering our States to tell the Stories of our Heroes in American Education.”

But after he was shot, it was superfluous. With this, I would pay good money to whomever shot a flaming arrow into that banner and torched it.

As a retired middle school teacher after 35 years, this is just one more horror. Are all of Miller’s minions required to sit in a room 24-7 & come up with at least 20 horrors a day and implement them immediately?
