A heated altercation between two students occurred over the posting and removal of Charlie Kirk posters in the Bingham Humanities Building at the University of Louisville on Sept. 15.
Kirk, a conservative commentator, was assassinated Sept. 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. The posters displayed a portrait image of Charlie Kirk next to the quote “Education should focus on teaching students how to think, not what to think.”
Summer Shepherd, a UofL student, saw the posted flyers and took them down. As Shepherd was throwing them away, the individual who posted them began yelling, “You can’t do that,” and got in Shepherd’s face.
