Reuters, University of Arkansas Fires Law Professor Over Charlie Kirk Comments:
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has fired a law professor for comments she made on social media about the September 10 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The professor, Felicia Branch, appears to be the first legal academic to be dismissed for social media posts about Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder whose assassination at an event at Utah Valley University shocked the country and ignited debates over political violence. …
Elected officials in Arkansas had called for Branch to be fired, citing what they said were posts on her Facebook account likening people mourning Kirk to members of the Ku Klux Klan and suggesting people should not be criticized for celebrating that “an evil person is no longer on this earth causing immense suffering.”
