I recently visited Stanford University and noticed an ongoing issue that I feel deserves attention. Memorial posters for Charlie Kirk — displayed in official, designated posting areas on campus — have repeatedly been removed or torn down. These were small remembrance notices placed in approved public spaces where posting is clearly permitted.
It's concerning that materials in authorized display areas are not being respected, especially when they pertain to memorial expression. If these spaces are truly designated for open community postings, then consistent removal raises questions about fairness and viewpoint tolerance.
I hope Stanford administration will look into why approved memorial posters are being taken down and ensure that designated posting policies are honored consistently. A campus that values diversity of thought should protect lawful expressions placed in permitted spaces.
I appreciate the university's reputation for openness and hope this concern can be addressed constructively.
