Overview
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier introduced a Combat Violent Extremism portal that accepts anonymous uploads of screenshots, videos and messages, with reports routed to the Office of Statewide Prosecution.
- State education leaders said educators who appear to celebrate or encourage violence will face investigations, citing a Clay County teacher suspended over posts linked to Kirk’s death.
- The 1776 Project PAC rolled out an online form to flag teachers and administrators who allegedly justified the killing, with the group reporting a surge of tips.
- Workplace and campus fallout continues, including Florida Atlantic University placing art history professor Karen Leader on leave over posts about Kirk, as AAUP warns against disciplining protected speech and Leader reports doxxing and threats.
- Debate over motive persists, but Utah charging documents quote suspect Tyler Robinson telling a partner he acted because he had 'enough of [Kirk’s] hatred,' a detail used by prosecutors as they pursue severe penalties.
