“The assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last year sparked a wave of anger directed at scholars for their public comments following Kirk’s death. This reaction was faster, more targeted, and more severe than the response following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. Relatively few professors faced significant consequences for comments about Floyd himself. On the other hand, Floyd’s death appears to have spawned a broader, more sustained sensitivity to race-related discourse.” (01/27/26)
