标题：Charlie Kirk challenged opposing views until the day he was murdered
The activist embodied a fiery advocacy style and energised young voters
正文：Charlie Kirk always contended that it was better to challenge bad ideas, as he saw them, than to swallow them. His professional life was devoted to this belief. At the age of 18 he dropped out of university to launch what would become America’s most prominent youth organisation focused on his ideals, Turning Point USA (TPUSA). On September 10th Mr Kirk was shot dead at a college campus in Utah doing precisely what had brought him fame, purpose and wide acclaim: debating those with differing views.
