CMS Board settles lawsuit over spirit rock tribute to Charlie Kirk

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board settled a lawsuit over a student-led tribute to Charlie Kirk on a school spirit rock. The tribute, 'Live Kike Kirk,' was painted after Kirk's assassination, leading to new guidelines and a legal challenge citing First Amendment violations. The board approved a free speech policy clarifying protected speech, including political and religious expressions, and stated the tribute did not violate policies.
