Higher Ed Is Mass-Producing Increasingly Violent Leftists– thefederalist.com

Less than 24 hours after an assassin extinguished one of the brightest young lights in American conservative thought, a Utah Valley University faculty member sent a supportive email message to students urging them to rise above the violence.

The message, addressed “To my Students and friends,” summed up the cold-blooded murder of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk at UVU on Sept. 10, 2025 as a “life-altering tragedy for those close to him, obviously.” A profound loss to Kirk’s followers, too, the unidentified professor added.

And then in flowery prose fitting a liberal arts college professor, the faculty member mused that any violent death is “a loss to humanity and a disruption of human and divine harmonies.” That’s especially true on a university campus because “universities are by their very nature to be the safe place for diversity and listening and developing each person’s uniqueness through a peaceful, compassionate, and passionate exchange of viewpoints.”

“UVU, in particular, stands as a university where we foster individual development and uniqueness,” states the email, a copy of which was apparently sent to then-UVU President Astrid Tuminez.

The message was warmly embraced by the university recipient, who hailed it as “such a clear, compassionate, and healing message.”
