Overview
- Attorney General James Uthmeier unveiled the Combat Violent Extremism Portal, inviting public submissions of screenshots, videos, or texts about threats.
- Reports go to the Office of Statewide Prosecution for review and potential charges, and the portal permits anonymous tips but is not for emergencies, with immediate dangers directed to 911.
- Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas said he found probable cause against a Clay County teacher over social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s killing and is seeking revocation of her license.
- Statewide Prosecutor Brad McVay pledged swift action on threats that violate Florida law, and Uthmeier warned that knowingly false or abusive reports will bring consequences.
- Civil liberties and faculty groups, including the ACLU of Florida, warned the portal and teacher investigations could chill protected speech and academic expression.
