Liberal Forum

Ultimately, he was killed for insisting on being heard...

To fire people on campuses for speaking out against Kirk would make an utter mockery of his work and his death. It would be like banning LGBTQ groups in response to the assassination of Harvey Milk in 1978.

 Kirk wanted unfettered debate. He wanted people to be able to express themselves regardless of how the majority felt about their views. He was the victim, not the advocate, of cancel campaigns.

There are instances where hateful views may raise grounds for termination. A Secret Service agent is under investigation after dismissing the assassination. Given the need to protect conservative as well as liberal figures (including those in the current administration), the bias in the postings can raise legitimate grounds for inquiry.

Likewise, those who use their official, academic, or corporate positions to espouse hateful messages risk termination. 

However, many of these people were speaking as individuals outside of their positions, and their hateful commentary is not necessarily compromising or conflicting with their positions.
