A former educator at Auburn University and the University of Alabama has sued college leadership in federal court after she says she was fired for a post responding to the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
In her complaint against Auburn University, Candice Hale says that her firing violated her First Amendment rights.
“Candice Hale exercised her right to speak on matters of public concern, the death of Charlie Kirk, a political figure—expression that lies at the core of the First Amendment—and was subsequently terminated for doing so," the complaint reads.
