As usual the “evidence” cited by Charlie Kirk - here to push his #DivestU plan - fails to deliver. Follow along @DailyCaller and others 1/x https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/20/charlie-kirk-we-need-to-stop-funding-radical-universities/
Kirk wrote the University of Chicago “fired Professor Harald Uhlig for” criticizing #BLM for #DefundThePolice. Nope. He was temporarily removed from an editor position after a different complaint. He was re-instated after no evidence was found 2/x https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-university-of-chicago-economist-black-lives-matter-harald-uhlig-20200623-c7wja43r5jg3vipxxtjq46nryu-story.html
Kirk wrote: “University of Wisconsin officials” entertained “letting students tear down a statue” of Lincoln. Well, if you call reading a petition from students and deciding against it “entertaining.” And no, students were not going to tear it down. 3/x https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15149
Kirk wrote: “Perhaps it’s the re-segregated dorms at Cal State Los Angeles or UC Boulder that helped reality set in.” Nope. Yes the dorms had black scholarship and social justice themes. But the few rooms for these “learning communities” were open to all students. 4/x

Kirk wrote: “New York City College’s professor of art crime” instruction to “rioters and vandals on the best methods for tearing down a statue of Christopher Columbus.” Well that is true: 7/x https://twitter.com/artcrimeprof/status/1270869001745432578?s=20 https://twitter.com/artcrimeprof/status/1270869001745432578
Finally Kirk wrote: “Since these institutions are clearly using their campus rules and their professors’ lectures to promote a particular ideological and political framework...” Nope. Not even a scintilla of truth. But that does apply to Turning Point USA. End/
