foreseeable future in which profs and administrators are on their heels and worried about stifling dissent. The bystander effect applies here. All it takes is one person in a community to break the norm, and more will follow. I've seen many right-of-center students waxing eloquent about Charlie Kirk. If you want to honor him, speak up in your classes. It doesn't even have to be a matter of arguing politics, either. It can simply be, "We aren't here, accruing interest on hefty student loans, to spend 10-15 minutes of class time listening to you railing against Donald Trump or any of your other political beliefs. We're here to learn something else." Record them. In the current atmosphere, these students aren't going to be expelled or even forced to drop the class. There will be community members and elected officials who will take up the cause of the students.
