Bill would require Charlie Kirk plaza at every Tennessee University

NASHVILLE (WDEF) – Tennessee lawmakers have proposed a bill to require all state universities to build a Charlie Kirk plaza to encourage free speech.

The bill would require construction of a 40-by-40 plaza at 47 locations across Tennessee.

Each courtyard would display plaques on the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Rights in the state Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Ten Commandments.

Each plaque would carry Kirk’s name plus the dates of his birth and date.

Kirk specialized in political and social debates on college campuses.

If it passes, the bill could cast 18-million dollars in the first year.

Meanwhile, the Georgia Senate has approved their own Charlie Kirk bill.

It protects political activities at school, including the wearing of clothing and accessories.

But it does NOT require the building of a Kirk Plaza.

Lt. Governor Burt Jones, who is running for Governor, says “The TPUSA Act is the first piece of legislation in the nation that would codify into law Charlie Kirk’s brave efforts to bring both the Word of God and the truth of conservative values to school campuses across America through open discussion and debate in public forums. I am proud to prioritize this bill to ensure that students’ First Amendment rights to organize, gather, and speak are protected, regardless of their religious, political, or social viewpoints or those of school administrators.”
