莫妮卡·米克斯，一位拥有20年军龄的退伍军人和田纳西州州雇员，因在查理·柯克遇刺后在社交媒体上称他为“白人至上主义者”而被解雇，她正在起诉州政府。 Monica Meeks, a 20-year Army veteran and Tennessee state employee, is suing the state after being fired for a social media post labeling Charlie Kirk a "White Supremacist" following his assassination. 非营利的FIRE提出诉讼,辩称她下班后(与她的工作无关)的演讲根据第一修正案受到保护,没有扰乱政府的运作。 The nonprofit FIRE filed the lawsuit, arguing her off-duty post—unlinked to her job—was protected speech under the First Amendment and did not disrupt government operations. 米克斯(Meeks)坚持她的言论自由权,是越来越多的田纳西州政府雇员的一部分,包括教育工作者和行政管理人员,他们在因社会媒体对Kirk死亡的评论而遭解雇后,正在采取法律行动。 Meeks, who maintains her right to free expression, is part of a growing number of Tennessee public employees, including educators and administrators, who are pursuing legal action after being fired over social media comments about Kirk’s death. 国家拒绝在正在进行的诉讼中发表评论。 The state has declined to comment amid ongoing litigation.
