When I heard about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how so many young Americans were upset at his loss I wondered. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk. And yet I read that millions of Americans were grieving and sharing an outpouring of their feelings on the Internet.
I soon learned he was a young conservative Christian leader who had visited many college campuses to share his ideas with students. Just 31 years of age, he had become a spiritual and political inspiration to millions of young Americans in an organization he had started called Turning Point USA.
He encouraged young conservatives, many who said they had felt isolated in classrooms taught by liberal educators and unable to express their ideas and opinions.
