Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) has announced the launch of a new tool for members of the public to report “acts or threats of political violence" as well as social media posts of public school teachers, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
In the wake of Kirk's death, several Florida public school teachers have lost their jobs and status or been put on leave, including Karen Leader, an associate art history professor at Florida Atlantic University, placed on leave for posting about the right-wing podcaster's history of hate speech.
A retired University of Florida professor lost his honorary title after posting about Kirk, “I did not want him to die.
I reserve that wish for Trump," and other professors' posts are under investigation by the state along with teachers at several K-12 schools throughout the state.
“I did not say or do anything that celebrated his death, that said he deserved it, that in any way, shape or form, condoned violence.”
