In reply to the discussion: US Senate UNANIMOUSLY passes Remembrance Day Oct 14th for Kirk [View all]onenote
(45,669 posts)I agree that as a resolution, it doesn't carry the weight of law. But what it says, and what may follow from it is potentially concerning. The resolution "encourages educational institutions, civic organizations, and citizens across the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and ceremonies that promote civic engagement and the principles of faith, liberty, and democracy that Charlie Kirk championed."
I have no doubt that some schools, "civic" organizations, and businesses will use the resolution as the basis for holding tributes to Kirk on Oct.14 and I have no doubt that in some instances, they will attempt to impose consequences on those who don't protest or don't participate. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone get fired from their job or suspended from school for not complying.
