Darren Michael, associate professor at Austin Peay State University, has reportedly been reinstated and given $500,000 after being fired over posts about assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Tennessee’s WKRN News 2 obtained a copy of a settlement agreement between Michael and the university, showing the school will dish out $500,000 and reimburse “therapeutic counseling services.”

Well, I for one, am glad Kirk is no longer spewing vile hatred anymore.

Oh, and there's this thing called freedom of speech.

Also, grow thicker skin. Sticks and stones and all that crap. I swear these conservatives never matured past their pre teens. Which is why they love sleeping with pre teens.
