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.

    Protest idea: a bunch of menstruating people free bleed all over the auditorium, because they were afraid to get up and go to the bathroom. It’s a clear enough biohazard that they’ll have to call a remediation company (who are well paid, educated, and supplied for this type of cleaning work), so it won’t fall to the regular cleaning staff, plus it’s going to specifically gross out the people who support this the most.

      I mean just sue the school. It’s college not elementary school. They can’t force you to be there against your will. “Suspended for walking out”. Sue them for the cost of your degree and all advantages it would be worth, and it isn’t in the schools best interest to say their degrees arent worth much. Why did you leave? I was hungry… any reason is fine, it isn’t a prison, it’s something you pay money to attend.
