Florida Republican unveils bill threatening state funding if colleges don't rename roads after Charlie Kirk

[In It to Win It]

Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele (R) filed a bill Tuesday that threatens state funding to public universities and colleges if they do not rename specific roads after conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The bill points to specific roads at campuses Steele wants colleges to rename after Kirk, who was assassinated last month while speaking on a college campus in Utah.

If a campus does not comply, the bill says state funding will be withheld from the institution.

If passed, the bill would be set to go into law immediately instead of the typical July 1 date for most such Florida measures. Once the law goes into effect, a university would have 90 days to rename the road before funding would be cut.

3. What an insult to the men and women who funded and built those colleges and universities and named

…. those roads and streets.

Btw Charlie Kirk was no saint, he was no hero, and he was a very well compensated hate
monger that a rich billionaire that saw in him as a younger Rush Limbaugh. He was a racist,
sexist, and an anti American propagandist.

and signs to deface.

6. My local tv station is polling students here at our local universities and colleges..pretty split with opinions

I am not a student but as a Florida taxpayer, I think jamming this down our throats is ridiculous
