About Event

Warning ⚠️ : You should only apply to join this conversation if you are not offended by other group member's controversial opinions and are planning to actively participate in the discussion.


Juntos are free flowing and unstructured, but here are some of the questions we will touch on.

  • Does the assassination highlight the need for stricter gun control measures on college campuses, or does it underscore the importance of Second Amendment rights for self-defense?

  • How has Kirk's death affected the balance between free speech and public safety at political events, and should universities impose more restrictions on controversial speakers?

  • Does the polarization in reactions to Kirk's murder reflect a deeper societal divide, and could it lead to further acts of violence from either side of the political spectrum?

  • What overlooked angles, unspoken dilemmas, and sidelined perspectives are we collectively ignoring in the discourse surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination?



What is a Junto?

​​​​​Our debates were to be conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire of victory. - Benjamin Franklin
