It’s been one year since a leftist gunman put a bullet through Charlie Kirk's throat in front of his wife and two young children.
American college students are throwing parties to celebrate it.
And University of Tennessee students just got caught planning a party to celebrate the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
The Flyers Spreading Across Campus
Mysterious posters appeared at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville advertising a gathering on the HSS Lawn for 8 p.m. tonight.
The flyers declared: "WE WILL CELEBRATE THE FIRST NEW YEAR AK (AFTER KIRK)."
They called it a "Kirkaversery."
The university scrambled to distance itself.
"The University of Tennessee strongly condemns any message or activity that celebrates or makes light of violence or the loss of human life," a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

But here's the thing nobody is saying out loud: the flyers worked.
Nobody knows who made them.
Nobody has faced consequences.
And the same scene is playing out at universities from Washington D.C. to South Carolina.
A National Pattern the Left Refuses to Condemn
At Georgetown University, students advertised a Charlie Kirk lookalike contest on Fizz – the anonymous campus social media platform – for today.
The post drew over 2,200 upvotes.
That's nearly a third of Georgetown's entire undergraduate population voting to celebrate a political assassination.
The event's slogan: "Pull up to Copley Lawn and speak the truth while the cost is high."
Georgetown's Turning Point USA chapter president Heidi Sui said what every sane person already knows: "The TPUSA Chapter at Georgetown strongly condemns any events that aim to disrespect Charlie Kirk and the upcoming memorial ceremony at UVU."

At the University of South Carolina, a Kirk lookalike contest is being advertised for today as well.
USC's response was identical to UT's – no registered organization, no university resources.
In Portland, a tattoo artist is advertising $50 discounted neck tattoos to mark the anniversary of how Kirk was killed.
Neck tattoos.
The Left isn't hiding what they think anymore.
Kirk Warned Them and Nobody Listened
Kirk saw this coming.
Months before he was shot, he warned publicly about what he called an emerging "assassination culture" on the American Left.
He cited polling from the Network Contagion Research Institute showing a significant percentage of self-identified liberals viewed violence against public figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk as at least "somewhat justified."
Nobody listened.
This isn't a fringe reaction happening on a few campuses.
Over 2,200 Georgetown students upvoted a contest mocking his death – nearly a third of the undergraduate student body.
Flyers appeared simultaneously at UT, Georgetown, USC, and schools across the country on the same date, one year after the murder.
Erika Kirk – Charlie's wife, who now runs Turning Point USA – watched her husband die in front of their children at that Utah Valley University event.
Today she's watching American universities celebrate the moment.

The Left spent years calling Charlie Kirk a fascist and a Nazi.
When you convince people someone is Hitler, violence against them stops being a crime and becomes a virtue.
That's the explicit framework
The Federalist documented last week in tracing how this ideology justifies murder.
The Weather Underground didn't just appear in 1970.
They were the product of years of mainstream acceptance of radical rhetoric – the same mainstream acceptance happening on your tax-funded university campuses right now.
