Tell the Tory: Princetonians Reflect on the Life of Charlie Kirk theprincetontory.com/tell-the-tory-…

Princetonians reflect on the life and legacy of conservative leader Charlie Kirk. Read their reactions below.

The Princeton Tory: “The need for Kirk’s presence on our country’s campuses shows the asymmetry in their politics. We must reflect on the state of a country in which one political side has to claw its way into orthodox campus discourse.” “Conservative ideas are not popular on America’s campuses, and they are often met with open hostility. But the constant affirmation of liberty required by life in a republic compels us to write and preserve the ideas of the American founding. At the Tory, we pride ourselves on ‘choosing the pen over the sledgehammer.’” “We must dedicate ourselves even more to this proposition. We must choose restoration over retribution. We must choose liberty over intimidation.”

"But after admissions decisions, there was no 'in spite of Affirmative Action' or 'because of Affirmative Action.'... It was refreshing. By not explicitly considering race, colleges removed the 'in spite of/because of' that affirmative action created." - Allen Fang '28

Though the percentage of students identifying as "very conservative" increased from 2% to 2.5%, every other category, including "moderate" and "somewhat/slightly liberal," declined, to the benefit of "very liberal/leftist," which increased from 28% to 46% of the now-senior class
