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.

    I can say I feel this when talking with people who are upset at protests. Its kinda exhausting when they don’t get how rights won’t apply to anyone if they are selective. I literally have gotten them close. So you see then a cop could pull you over because he does not like you and have you shipped overseas and you would never get a chance to prove your citizenship. Response I get. Oh common do you know any cop that would do that. me. sigh. after taking a long long time to get them sorta kinda getting the idea.
