Middle Tennessee State University Dean Laura Sosh-Lightsy Fired For Charlie Kirk Comments - The New York Times (Thanks to Haadi for this one)
Laura Sosh-Lightsy’s punishment reflects the new power dynamics in the free-speech debate, especially in red states.
She has since struggled to find a job. Grocery stores, public school systems and other workplaces have rejected her. She is living primarily off the payout from her unused time off, and is looking to sell her car in the coming weeks. She can no longer send money home to help her mother with her bills, and is worried about slipping back into the poverty she grew up in.
