Just as they are now using 'lawfare' - after falsely claiming the Left were - they now want to 'cancel' anyone not kowtowing to the lifeless corpse of their dead 'hero,' after whining about being cancelled for political incorrectness.
A “climate of fear” is still shrouding college campuses across the US, academics have warned, after a string of professors were fired or punished for their comments after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
As many as 40 academics have been dismissed in recent weeks, according to the American Association of University Professors. Many were targeted by rightwing campaigners, who seized on remarks they wrote or shared, and pressured their employers to take action.
The late-night comedy host Jimmy Kimmel became the most high-profile suspension for comments related to Kirk. Kimmel is now back on air. But firings, suspensions and disciplinary actions have continued and – have incited concern about the state of freedom of speech in the US.
Me? I'm glad he's dead. Screw the Right. RESIST!
That is totally out of bounds to punish people for not revering a public figure
No one, living or dead, enjoys the right to perfect adoration by all.
Of course, there were likely a FEW firings that were "well earned" if they went well past reasonable given the nature of employers having the right to distance themselves from employees who darken their reputations publicly. Especially if legitimate complaints were filed. However most complaints were absurd!
