‘I will not pull back from CELEBRATING’: Law professor’s Charlie Kirk comments lead to calls for her termination
State officials in Arkansas are demanding a University of Arkansas Little Rock law professor be terminated for her comments regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk.
According to KUAR, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Attorney General Tim Griffin, and Lt. Governor Leslie Rutledge are among those calling for the dismissal of Felicia Branch, whose faculty page notes is the director of the school’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic and was hired by U. of A. this past July.
The Bowen School of Law announced Tuesday that Branch was suspended (with pay) for her anti-Kirk comments, KTHV reported.
In a since-deleted Facebook post, Branch wrote “It never fails. People have come out caping for the devil that walked among us […] so no. I will not pull back from CELEBRATING that an evil man died by the method he chose to embrace.”
Branch added “You’re so QUICK to chastise, thinking we’re simply celebrating a death. We. Are. Not […] evil begets evil [and Kirk] is no longer able to beget evil. That’s cause célébre.”
Branch also posted a meme showing members of the Ku Klux Klan surrounding a burning cross with the title “PEOPLE MOURNING CHARLIE KIRK.”
In a statement posted to Facebook, Arkansas Attorney General Griffin wrote “There can be no consideration of someone of such evident low character continuing to instruct future lawyers here in Arkansas. We should and do have broad academic freedom in this country. But protections for scholarship offer no reason for an employer to tolerate an employee unabashedly celebrating political assassination.”
Griffin later called for Branch to be fired, noting the First Amendment does not “guarantee you the job you want, regardless of what you say.”
In a statement on X, Gov. Huckabee Sanders wrote that Branch’s “comments are vile, disgusting, and unacceptable” and that “she must be fired immediately.”

The most depressing thing is how many of these people there are in education who feel comfortable enough to post up this garbage.
I think they believe they’re 10 year applies to everything in their life. They are worse than judges when it comes to being full of themselves.
