States eulogize Charlie Kirk with new laws promoting religion and free speech

States eulogize Charlie Kirk with new laws promoting religion and free speech

A new Kansas law will allow college students to sue their schools for free-speech violations. In Tennessee, a new law will encourage teachers and professors to include “the positive impacts of religion” in American history courses.

Charlie Kirk Shot

The common factor: Both are being done in the name ofCharlie Kirk.

The laws are among the first of what could become multiple state tributes to the conservative activist who was killed while speaking at a Utah university last year. More than 60 Kirk-themed bills have been proposed in over 20 states seeking to promote his ideology, establish official days of remembrance or affix his name to roads and public places, according to an Associated Press analysis usingthe bill-tracking software Plural.

Just like Kirk, who was known for his provocative campus debates, the measures arenot without controversy.

Republican lawmakers in Kansas overrode the veto of Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly to enact a law that she said would “cause confusion for courts and schools.”

In Tennessee, where Republicans firmly control state government, some Democrats denounced the pro-Kirk legislation by recounting what they described asracist remarkshe made about Black pilots and Black women in government positions.

“How many times have we sat here and endured this? The Charlie Kirk Saves America Act, whatever the heck it is? Come on guys. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s move on,” Democratic state Rep. Sam McKenzie said during a committee meeting where Republicans endorsed the “Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act.”

That's not to be confused with Tennessee's “Charlie Kirk Act,” which Republicans also recently passed. That bill addresses campus free speech, including a ban on attendee walkouts that intentionally disrupt a speaker.

The variety of bills in Kirk's name “shows just how deeply his influence is being felt, especially in the fight to restore intellectual diversity and core American values in education,” said Matt Shupe, a spokesperson forTurning Point USA, which Kirk founded.

Tennessee touts Christian values in Kirk's name

A Kirk-named law signed this week by Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee extols the historical “influence of Judeo-Christian values on the freedom and liberties ingrained in our culture.”

It gives permission for public schools and higher education institutions to teach about religion's positive role in American history. And it lists 19 examples, beginning with the organization of the Pilgrims as a church and including George Washington's direction for Army chaplains, Benjamin Franklin's appeal for prayer at the constitutional convention and the impact of Christian evangelist Billy Graham.

Tennessee is one of several Republican-led states to partner with Turning Point USA to promote its high school chapters, calledClub America. Dozens of club leaders from Tennessee attended a state Senate committee hearing last month to support the religion-in-history legislation.

Ben Mason, a junior from Providence Academy in Johnson City, said Kirk helped him “to understand that America began with Judeo-Christian values.”

“This, of course, does not mean that you must be a Christian or even believe in God to be in America, but you will hear about our roots," Mason told lawmakers.

But Senate Democratic Leader Raumesh Akbari raised concerns.

“Our public schools are really not the place to push one religion over another," she said. "I know that is not the stated intent of the bill, but I think that ends up being the result.”

Kansas cites Kirk to promote free speech

Lawmakers turned Kirk's name into an acronym for the “Kansas intellectual rights and knowledge” act, which deems outdoor areas on college campuses as forums for free expression. The bill's preamble praises Kirk and cites a 2024 incident at Kansas State University in which Kirk's microphone was shut off at the end of his allotted time, leading Kirk to wade into the crowd to continue taking questions.

The measure limits security fees charged to student organizations for events and bans designated “free speech zones” that restrict the location of such activities. The attorney general — or any who believe their rights were infringed — can sue an institution seeking damages of at least $500 per violation, and $50 for each day it continues.

The bill is similar to the Campus Free Expression Act, promoted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. About half the states already have campus free-speech laws, according to the foundation.

“Charlie Kirk was assassinated for exercising his right to free speech and introducing young people to conservative values,” Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson said after Kelly’s veto was recently overridden. “His mission and legacy will live on and protect the free speech rights of all college students in Kansas for decades to come.”

Democrats, while decryingKirk's assassination, were unified in opposing the bill. Democratic state Rep. Jerry Stogsdill said legislators should not honor an activist whose statements promoted “hate, bigotry, misogyny and racism.”

More Kirk bills are pending in state capitols

In Louisiana, Republicans have proposed a bill dubbed the“Charlie Kirk Success Sequence Act.”The measure would require public schools to teach that the keys to success include earning a high school diploma, immediately entering the workforce after high school or college, and marrying before having children.

A Senate committee advanced the bill this week after overcoming objections.

“Why muddy this bill up by putting a controversial political figure’s name on it?” asked Democratic Sen. Katrina Jackson-Andrews, whose attempt to remove Kirk's name failed in the Republican-dominated committee.

“In the last 20 years, I cannot think of anyone that’s had the type of impact on our students, on our campuses and in our cities as Charlie Kirk,” said Republican Sen. Rick Edmonds, who authored the bill.

NEED TO KNOW

  • Ferguson was last seen in public in September 2025

  • Andrew was detained on Feb. 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office in a historic arrest

Sarah Fergusonhas been seen for the first time since her ex-husband, the formerPrince Andrew, was arrested in February.

She has been tracked down to a mountain hideaway in the Austrian Alps, British newspaperThe Sunreported on April 16.

The outlet's photos showed Ferguson, 66, standing outside a dark van and carrying a teal tote bag. She was dressed casually, in a blue jacket and dark pants, covering her red hair with a white baseball cap.

A source toldThe Sun,“Fergie has been keeping an incredibly low profile while high up in the Alps.

“The area is absolutely beautiful and it’s very quiet most of the time, so it’s the perfect place for a high-profile figure such as her to lie low when the heat is on,” the source added.

PEOPLE has reached out to Ferguson's rep for comment.

Ferguson, who lost her Duchess of York title when Andrew was stripped of his royal honors by his brotherKing Charles, was last spotted out among family and friends at the christening of her granddaughter Athena,Princess Beatrice’s second baby, in December 2025. However, she has stayed out of the public eye even longer, not attending any events since September 2025.

As of January, PEOPLE understood that Fergusonplanned to spend time overseasas she reviewed her next moves and considered where she might live long term.

Since then, there have been several stories and rumors that she has been moving around the world, staying with friends, with one claim that she was at the home of friend Priscilla Presley (Presley's repdenied thatto PEOPLE). Other reports said that she had been staying at various places around Europe, from awellness center in Switzerlandto another retreat in Donegal, Ireland.

When King Charles removed Andrew's royal titles, he also forced him and Ferguson out of their longtime home at Royal Lodge. Andrew is now living on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, and Ferguson was believed to have been mulling over some properties to live in Windsor.

"This has really hit her," a friend said in anexclusive PEOPLE cover story.

Prior to the latest sighting, Ferguson had not been seen in public since September 2025, when she attended a funeral with Andrew. She and her ex-husbandquietly attended the christening of their granddaughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi in December, but were not photographed there. The former couple alsoskipped the afterparty at a London pubfor the celebration honoringPrincess Beatrice's youngest daughter.

Ferguson last officially stepped out in public on Sept. 16, when she and Andrewattended the funeralof the lateKatharine, Duchess of Kent, together. Ferguson and Andrew, 66, who has been calledAndrew Mountbatten-Windsorsince hisroyal titles were strippedin October, divorced in 1996 but remained friendly.

Following their divorce, the pair amicably co-parented their daughters, Princess Beatrice andPrincess Eugenie, and even lived together at Royal Lodge until their royal eviction.

On Feb. 19,Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public officeat his temporary home on the royal family's Sandringham Estate.

Authorities are investigatinga claim that the former Duke of York shared confidential informationwith Epstei​​n during his time as a trade envoy for the U.K. The allegations came to light following research into the latest batch of Epstein filesreleasedby the U.S. Department of Justice on Jan. 30, which included correspondence between Andrew and Epstein. (The trove also showed that Fergusonkept in touch with Epsteinafter claiming to have cut off contact with him.)

Queen Elizabeth's second son was a trade envoy for Britain from 2001 to 2011, and his links to the American financier and convicted sex offenderset his step back from royal life in motionin 2019. He has continuously denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with Epstein.

Andrew becamethe first member of the British royal family to be arrested in modern historywhen he was detained on Feb. 19. He wasreleased after spending about 11 hours in police custody.

PEOPLE understands thatBuckingham Palace was not informed of Andrew's arrest in advanceand King Charles, 77, released a statement soon after,underscoring the palace would cooperate in the investigation.

Ferguson's whereabouts were immediately unknownfollowing her ex-husband's arrest. She did not make the move with him to Wood Farm, his temporary residence in Sandringham, while the nearby Marsh Farm, earmarked as his more permanent destination, underwent renovations.

A spokesperson for Ferguson previously debunked reports that she might move into a property at the country home of her elder daughter, Princess Beatrice. Suggestions that she could stay with her younger daughter Princess Eugenie in Portugal were also dismissed.

It's been a monumental few months for the former Duke of York and his family. On Oct. 17, Andrew announced that hewould no longer use his royal titles and honorsas it distracted from the work of his brother the King and the rest of the royal family.

Nearly two weeks later, on Oct. 30, King Charles launched the process of stripping Andrew's styles, titles and honors in an unprecedented step. Buckingham Palace said he would be called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, using the surname for the descendants of the late Queen andPrince Philip, and had been ordered to surrender his lease at Royal Lodge, hs longtime home where he lived with his ex-wife.

Thetransition was made officialvia a Letters Patent on Nov. 3, confirming that Andrew was stripped of all titles and honors, including prince and "His Royal Highness."

The changes came amid renewed scrutinyaround the depth of Andrew’s connections to Epstein and ongoing controversy surrounding past allegations. Andrewstepped back from his royal rolein 2019 following abombshell BBC interviewin which he discussed his relationship with Epstein following the financier's death, but retained his royal titles.

In January 2022, Queen Elizabeth stripped Andrew of hismilitary titles and patronagesafter a judge rejected his attempt to have Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’ssexual assault lawsuitagainst him dismissed. Andrew settled with Giuffre out of court for an undisclosed sum and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

Though Andrew no longer held a working royal role, he continued to attend major family events and reportedly paid "peppercorn rent" at Royal Lodge, a 30-bedroom mansion in Windsor Great Park.

Amid the fallout,multiple sources told PEOPLE that Ferguson would be moving into a home of her own— and moving on.

"She is going to be moving out and into a separate home," a source who knows Ferguson told PEOPLE. "Contrary to reports, she has never asked for a property or any provision for herself. She will continue to forge an independent life."

A separate source close to the former Duchess confirmed that she would find her own home and was “going to move forward independently.”

Though Ferguson has weathered scandals before — and often managed to recover — a friend describes Andrew's arrest as truly sobering for the former Duchess of York.

"She always thinks she can bounce back," the insider says. "But this isn’t something that can blow over."
