Public schools nationwide are facing fallout after numerous educators sparked community outrage with posts about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
In one example, a teacher from Framingham Public Schools in Massachusetts was placed on leave after allegedly posting a video on her Instagram page celebrating the murder, the Metrowest Daily News reported.
“While social networking is fun and valuable, there are some risks you should keep in mind when using these tools,” the district’s policies explain, quoted by the paper. “In the social media world, the lines are blurred between what is public or private, personal or professional.”
In Oklahoma, State Superintendent Ryan Walters called out one middle school teacher in the Sand Springs district for reportedly writing on social media, “Charlie Kirk died the same way he lived: bringing out the worst in people.”
“This disgraceful rhetoric has no place in schools,” Walters posted on X, confirming his department would investigate the incident. “Charlie Kirk was an amazing man who inspired millions of young adults.”
