In the wake of the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, a University of North Texas (UNT) student was dismissed from the classroom for defending Kirk to classmates, prompting responses from state elected officials.
A little less than two weeks ago, Kirk was shot and killed during a TPUSA event on the campus of Utah Valley University. In the days that followed, many Texas university officials, and students, reacted to his death online and in person.
