GOP passes “Charlie Kirk Act” that could expel students who protest antiLGBTQ+ speakers
"The Tennessee legislature has passed the Charlie Kirk Act, which, if signed by Gov. Bill Lee (R), will ban public institutions of higher education from preventing people with bigoted views from speaking on campus. Moreover, it will also punish students who speak out against campus speakers they disagree with.
The bill protects invited speakers as well as faculty members who express their views. It also explicitly states that a public institution of higher education cannot discriminate or retaliate against someone due to their views on “homosexuality, or transgender behavior, regardless of whether that opposition is motivated by religious or non-religious belief.”"
