Student Expelled After Mocking Charlie Kirk Assassination at Memorial Event
Texas State University has removed a student from its enrollment after the individual was caught on video re-enacting the assassination of Charlie Kirk during a campus memorial event.
The controversial incident surfaced when footage was posted on social media platform X with the following caption: "This was at Texas State, a Charlie Kirk memorial event hosted by the local TPUSA chapter. Student imitates Charlie Kirk's death and mocks him, goes up to the statue where TPUSA members are and imitates his death again, and spits near them. Also uses a vape/weed pen near the end of the video, which is against campus policy."
In the video, the student can be heard using offensive language directed at members of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the conservative organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

The footage prompted swift condemnation, notably from Texas Governor Greg Abbott who responded by quote-tweeting: "Hey, Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools. Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination must have consequences."

In response to the incident, Texas State University President Kelly Damphouse confirmed on X that the student had been identified.
"Late this afternoon, we confirmed that the individual in the reprehensible video was a TXST student. While federal law prevents Texas State University from commenting on individual student conduct matters, I can say that the person is no longer a student at Texas State," Damphouse stated.
He further emphasized, "The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday's event. I will not tolerate behaviour that mocks, trivialises, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values."

She has since been removed from the university.
Kirk, a well-known conservative activist, was fatally shot while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. The event was the first stop of his American Comeback Tour, a debate and speaking series organized by Turning Point USA. After appearing to recoil in pain during the shooting, Kirk was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later declared dead.
