Tennessee state employee Monica Meeks sued after being fired for calling Charlie Kirk a "white supremacist" in a social media post.
Monica Meeks, a 20-year Army veteran and Tennessee state employee, is suing the state after being fired for a social media post labeling Charlie Kirk a "White Supremacist" following his assassination.
The nonprofit FIRE filed the lawsuit, arguing her off-duty post—unlinked to her job—was protected speech under the First Amendment and did not disrupt government operations.
Meeks, who maintains her right to free expression, is part of a growing number of Tennessee public employees, including educators and administrators, who are pursuing legal action after being fired over social media comments about Kirk’s death.
The state has declined to comment amid ongoing litigation.
