堪萨斯州立法者在10月14日创立Charlie Kirk自由演说日, Kansas lawmakers advanced a resolution to create Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day on October 14, honoring the late conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, following a heated House debate. 该法案以30票对9票通过参议院，并在共和党人赞扬柯克倡导言论自由和家庭价值观后得以推进。 The measure passed the Senate 30-9 and moved forward after Republicans praised Kirk’s advocacy for free speech and family values. 民主党反对这项荣誉, 引用柯克的种族主义、性别歧视和偏执言论历史, 并批评在贫穷和医疗等紧迫问题上的象征性姿态。 Democrats opposed the honor, citing Kirk’s history of racist, sexist, and bigoted remarks, and criticized the symbolic gesture amid urgent issues like poverty and healthcare. Rep. Ford Carr试图与Malcolm X合唱,并将纪念活动限制在一年之内,但他的修正案失败了82-33。 Rep.
