Teachers are facing a meticulous examination for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk online

Following the murder of Charlie Kirk, some on the left – many in the education sphere – came out by rejecting or even celebrating his death as a means of challenging his conservative political opinions.

While some welcomed Kirk as a champion of freedom of expression, many teachers and educators had to face a meticulous suspension or examination for online comments seeming to make fun or encourage his death, highlighting questions about political prejudices in American classrooms.

The president of home education and labor, Tim Walberg, R-Mich., Told Fox News Digital that too many students are “indoctrinated to hate those with whom they do not agree instead of engaging in a thoughtful manner with peers to discuss differences”.

“We must not teach children what to think, but how to think,” he said.

In a statement, the president of the Senate Héalth Education Labour & Pensions committee, Bill Cassidy, R-La., Said that there was a “clear lesson” on educators and others losing jobs for “vile” public comments on Charlie Kirk.

“If your first reaction to an assassination powered by hatred is more hatred, ask yourself if you have to put your phone. Cruelty in response to tragedy is only dividing us more,” said Cassidy.

The house committee has also provided Fox News Digital a separate Kirk mourning declaration as “a real champion of freedom of expression” and highlighting the importance of “honest and productive debate” compared to politicized censorship.

“Charlie has inspired thousands of students to express their minds, to ask difficult questions and to initiate significant conversations – whatever his political affiliation,” said Walberg.

Kirk helped students feel empowered to express their beliefs without fear, he said, and recalled the next generation of the importance of “intellectual diversity”.

However, many educators across the country do not share Walberg’s point of view, as the cases of teachers in suspension or examined for their own reactions are revealed.

In the Massachusetts, at least three different school districts said that the teachers had been investigated for public reactions to the kirk murder.

In Framingham, in Massachusetts, just outside Boston, the superintendent Robert Tremblay confirmed to the Fox affiliate of the city that “if the law prevents us from discussing specific personnel issues, the employee is on leave while waiting for an internal exam.

The teachers of another suburbs of Boston, Sharon, Massachusetts, as well as the regional school district of Wachusett near Worcester, were also examined, according to the affiliate of Fox.

Florida’s education commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas warned that her office was now looking for reactions from such inappropriate reactions to the murder of Kirk, after a state teacher would have displayed that if the 31 -year -old Billology was not the one she hoped to wake up, it was a second close to a person who relentlessly. Online chatter allegedly alleged that the inference was a blow by President Donald Trump.

“Teachers are held at a higher level as civil servants and must ensure that their conduct does not undermine the confidence of students and families they serve,” Kamoutsas said in a statement first reported by Politico. “We will keep teachers who choose to make disgusting comments on the horrible assassination of Charlie Kirk responsible.”

In the north, South Carolina has also seen teachers react insensibly to the murder of Kirk.

A teacher from Greenville, in Southern Carolina, was “no longer used” on Thursday after the district confirmed to the local media that he had posted on social networks that “the American has become bigger today. There, I said it”.

In Pennsylvania, a teacher from Lancaster City was examined after also published largely convicted comments on Kirk.

An article on social networks called Kirk a “nationalist and sexist and white spokesperson”, and would have been shared by the teacher.

He also criticized Kirk to “normalize Trumpism for years – man depended only on hatred. I have absolutely no empathy for people like that”, which led the district to publish a statement to LANCASTER Newspaper LNP.

“We are aware of the reaction to an online article shared by one of our employees on a personal social media platform,” the statement said. “The Lancaster school district won violence of all kinds and is attached to safety, inclusive and welcoming schools for all in our community.”

A teacher union official in the state of Keystone continued to tell the newspaper that violence and threats of violence are the opposite of “all that we, educators, commit our lives and careers”.

“Political violence endangers our democracy and deepens fear, hatred and division that too often dominate on national discourse,” said ASEA spokesperson Christopher Lilienthal.
