On September 11, the David Horowitz Freedom Center convened our retreat in Las Vegas.  A day earlier, Charlie Kirk had been assassinated.

The murder completely changed the tenor of the event. I threw out the remarks I was going to make and talked about the bigger picture and the stakes on college campuses. And the bigger picture is that we’re not going to debate our way out of this, that college is the problem not the solution, and we should be looking at ways to reduce the presence of college in American life.
