A viral video from a Turning Point USA event at UT San Antonio has prompted an official review after a student recited a giddy poem celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The University of Texas System now says it will not tolerate incitement of violence or threats of incitement from anyone in its community.
The student introduced herself at the microphone as “Pamper Baby” before reciting lines including “It was the night before the Kirkiversary and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse” and “as we solemnly remembered a shot to the neck.” She then invited people to a “Squirt for Kirk” event. A campus microphone is not a magic wand that turns an assassination celebration into harmless performance art. Apparently, basic judgment was not on the program.
Afterward, she told Texas Youth Summit founder Christian Collins that he was “brave” to be on campus “with no protection, no nothing, no like neck brace.” Collins posted the video, writing that she read the poem “with such glee” and saying he would pray for her. He added, “This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.”
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
I told her I’d pray for her.

University of Texas System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife and Chancellor John Zerwas said they had been apprised of the incident. Their statement read: “We will not tolerate the incitement of violence or the threat of incitement of violence by any member of our UT community. UT San Antonio will handle this incident consistent with the law.” That is about as direct as institutional language gets.

UT San Antonio spokesperson Joe Izbrand told the San Antonio Express-News that the university takes the matter seriously. “The sentiments expressed do not reflect the values of our university,” Izbrand stated. “The university is reviewing the circumstances through its established student conduct processes, consistent with applicable state and federal law and university policies.”
The school declined to comment on any specific disciplinary action, citing FERPA privacy protections. So far, the public knows that a review is underway, but no disciplinary outcome has been announced. That is the proper place for the university to explain its standards while respecting legal privacy requirements, rather than letting online speculation serve as the campus rulebook.
Internet users quickly identified the student as Isa Casahuga-Lemgruber, described as a UTSA student in the class of 2030 majoring in International Relations and Diplomacy. The online backlash also included calls for her family to be deported. Those demands are separate from the official university statements, which focused on student conduct, violence and the law.
Great question! Her name is Isa Casahuga Lemgruber
Her family is from Brazil
Why are we allowing foreigners to come to American and incite terrorism against American patriots?Please look into removing the entire family @DeputySecState https://t.co/aiUColFIQF pic.twitter.com/MvKwq0FbDR

Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. That context explains why the poem’s reference to a shot to the neck drew such strong condemnation. The language was not vague, and university leaders responded with an equally direct warning about incitement.
UT San Antonio will now handle the incident through its established conduct process. The university has not disclosed what action, if any, may follow. For all the noise surrounding the video, the official question is straightforward: whether the student’s words violated university policy or applicable law. The microphone may be open, but the rules still apply.
