Iowa lawmakers call for termination of ISU employees for online comments on Charlie Kirk
Lawmaker Miller-Meeks says new UI free speech center should be named for Kirk

Rep. Taylor Collins, R-Mediapolis, and Sen. Lynn Evans, R-Aurelia, signed a letter directed to the Iowa Board of Regents this weekend calling for the immediate firing of employees who they said “publicly celebrated his killing online.”

Collins identified the social media posts mentioned in the letter as coming from two Iowa State University employees, though the Iowa Capital Dispatch was unable to independently verify the posts.

One of the posters stated they are “pretty sure we’re all okay with political violence,” but did not mention Kirk or the shooting. The other pointed out comments previously made by Kirk as to the trade-off of gun deaths and 2nd Amendment rights, saying in their post he “got what was coming” and they are “happy he’s rotting in hell now.”

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks said in a post on X that the UI should name its new center for intellectual freedom after Kirk, which would honor who she described as “a true defender of free speech and open debate.” [/quote]
