Overview
- On Fox News Friday, Savannah Chrisley castigated Lipscomb Academy’s memorial for Charlie Kirk as too brief at 23 minutes and faulted what she described as a delayed, tepid email response to his killing.
- Her new remarks follow earlier Newsmax comments and social posts accusing the school of blocking a red‑tie tribute students attempted soon after Kirk’s death.
- Lipscomb says a small group was asked to remove red ties on September 12 because they violated the published dress code and were not disciplined, then met with administrators on September 15.
- According to the school and reporting citing The Tennessean, about a dozen to two dozen boys were told by Upper School Head Jesse Savage to remove the ties under rules that allow only a Lipscomb spirit tie and prohibit pins.
- The school issued an apology on September 25 and saw protests the next morning, while Chrisley has also alleged derogatory staff remarks about Kirk and DEI ties, claims not independently verified in the reports.
