About this episode
Tennessee lawmakers pass the Charlie Kirk Act, a bill promoting free speech on college campuses. The act mandates universities adopt the University of Chicagos free speech policy, bans admins from pulling speakers based on views, and allows student groups to deny spots to those whose lifestyles clash with their own. The bill, named after late activist Charlie Kirk, aims to create neutral grounds for civil debate. However, Democrats argue it may undermine diversity efforts and is now awaiting Governor Bill Lees approval. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
