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.
Even worse…. You can’t walk out, which is turning free speech into compelled speech. You must listen or risk being expelled.
Students are creative; if they can’t walk out, they’ll all bring headphones.
