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?

​​​​​​Benjamin Franklin founded the Junto Club as a way to discuss morals, politics, and natural philosophy to improve themselves and their community. The club was initially composed of twelve members who met on Friday evenings.

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