College students who participate in walkouts could be suspended or expelled under a new measure passed by the Tennessee General Assembly on Monday.
The Charlie Kirk Act, named for the late conservative activist, addresses free speech on college campuses.
HB 1476/ SB 1741 would require colleges and universities to sign the University of Chicago’s policy on freedom of speech — and prohibit administrations from uninviting a speaker based on their opposition to abortion or LGBTQ rights.
"Charlie Kirk was someone who encouraged everyone to love others,”
I audibly burst out laughing. Ether this fucker had no idea who he was before he died, or he is lying his ass off.
LOL TRY AND ENFORCE IT, YA MALIGNANT CUNTS.
Conservatives sure do hate freedom
The GOP is going to continue pushing anti-American legislation. At least in this case they’re not pretending otherwise with some subversive name for it.
I would organize a walkout just to F with them
- Distribute “Fuck Charlie Kirk” t-shirts
- Go to the conservative speaking engagement in said shirts
- Watch their heads spin when they can’t figure out if they’re supposed to make you leave or make you stay
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
What the fuck do walkouts have to do with Kirk?
But does it protect ya neck
Can someone remind me what America used to do to fascists?
Invite them to work in the government?
Or you mean before that? With the bayonets?
fReE sPeEcH
In order to keep the memory of their hero alive, all speaking engagements covered by this act must take place outside in an area with long, unobstructed sight lines.
“The Charlie Kirk Act…
addressesrestricts free speech”Fixed that for them
and prohibit administrations from uninviting a speaker based on their opposition to abortion or LGBTQ rights
Why only opposition to these issues? Are administrations free to prohibit speakers in support of these issues? How is this not governmental viewpoint suppression in violation of the constitutional protection of freedom of speech? This is insane.
It’s exactly that, they just don’t care
Oh look. Another first amendment violation for the queue to be struck down the second it hits a courtroom. Your tax dollars at work.
Not if they can appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.
The Trump admin has yet to win a first amendment case and the road to the supreme Court is quite long.
Tennessee is a shithole now
“Now” ?
More than normal
