They Said It Was “Just Protest.” Then Charlie Kirk Was Murdered...
Academia Has Trained a Generation to Justify Violence — Now the Body Count’s Rising!
The Clowns Have Knives and Guns — Now
They told us it was just talk. Just kids being kids. Just protest. Then the body count started.
A poll comes out showing that 1 in 3 college students believe violence is a valid way to silence opinions they don’t like. The next day, Charlie Kirk is assassinated.
And academia wants to pretend this is all just...unrelated?
Let’s cut the crap.
According to FIRE’s 2026 Free Speech Rankings, over 23,000 students openly admitted that violence is “sometimes" or “always” acceptable to shut down campus speech they disagree with. And those are just the ones who felt bold enough to say it on a survey.
Extrapolate that across the U.S. college population, and you’re staring down 2.7 to 6.1 million future HR managers and TikTok therapists who think the First Amendment should come with a muzzle and a riot helmet.
But hey, don’t worry. The other students are super chill.
54 percent want to block people from even attending speeches they don’t like.
71 percent believe it’s totally fine to just scream the speaker off the stage.
74 percent say that if someone thinks transgenderism is a mental illness, they should be banned.
76 percent want anyone who calls BLM a hate group to be silenced too.
Free speech? That’s old school. This new generation is all about Feelings-Based Fascism.
You’re allowed to speak, as long as your opinions come pre-approved by the Diversity Disciples and you check all the right ideological boxes. Otherwise?
Get ready for the mob.
And this isn’t new. David Horowitz needed security just to survive a campus tour. Ben Shapiro events required tens of thousands in protection. Colleges figured out that if they just hinted at potential violence from students, they could cancel conservative speakers without getting their hands dirty.
It worked.
Then came the mobbing of professors. Harassment of liberal faculty who dared to deviate from the latest activist gospel. Deans standing there like mannequins while masked students screamed in professors’ faces.
And then came the Hamas encampments.
Now?
Murder.
Still think this is about education?
We used to have 332,000 college students in this country in 1910. Now it’s pushing 20 million. And what have we gotten in return?
A generation trained to be ideologues, not thinkers. Trained to believe disagreement equals violence, and violence equals justice.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers are still picking up the tab. Funding a system that fails at education but excels at manufacturing self-righteous hall monitors with TikTok accounts and a grudge against reality.
You don’t get a functioning democracy when 1 in 3 college students thinks punching someone is a legit form of debate. You get chaos in a cap and gown.
We either take the reins back now, or we let the lunatics finish burning down the lecture hall.
Your tax dollars are funding this disaster.
Are you still okay with that?
If you're sick of the silence, the lies, and the decay — share this. Send it to a parent. A professor. A politician. Anyone still clinging to the fantasy that our campuses are temples of truth.
