Why Did So Many Teachers Cheer Charlie Kirk Assassination?

 Probably not a hug surprise to most of us that the majority of public teachers are on the Left.  But how stupid do you have to be to cheer the death of someone and not think you might end up without a job?

When you send your child to school, you expect educators to teach reading, math, history-and character. You do not expect them to cheer when someone is killed, or show violent videos to ten-year-olds with commentary that says the dead man "deserved" it. Yet right now, parents across America (and in Canada) are seeing exactly that. And it's terrifying.

Real People, Troubling Actions

There are several shocking stories making national headlines. These aren't rumors. These are documented, public, deeply upsetting incidents:

In Oskaloosa, Iowa, a high school art teacher, Matt Kargol, posted "1 Nazi down" in a public social media response to Charlie Kirk's assassination. He has been placed on administrative leave, and the school district is conducting an emergency hearing about whether he should lose his job. 

In Massachusetts, a special education teacher was caught grinning and singing "God Bless America" while watching the news of Kirk's death on TV. 

In North Carolina (at Fort Bragg), a Department of Defense Education Activity teacher named Kristen Eve openly called Kirk a "garbage human," declared she would not mourn him, and went further, suggesting maybe the country would have to get "rough, messy, maybe even violent." 

In South Carolina, a Greenville County social studies teacher -- Wynne Boliek -- was fired after a Facebook post stating, "America became better today. There I said it." 

In Toronto, Canada, a substitute teacher at a French immersion class for 5th- and 6th-graders showed a graphic video of Kirk's assassination. While doing so, he allegedly said Kirk "deserved" what happened -- invoking anti-fascist and anti-trans rhetoric. The teacher has been suspended pending investigation, and parents were deeply shaken. 

In Texas, more than 180 complaints have now been made against teachers for posts or actions related to celebrating or inciting violence in response to Kirk's death. Over 100 teacher certifications may be suspended; some teachers already suspended or fired. Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Education Agency are calling these acts grossly inappropriate. 

What It Says About the Root of the Problem

These examples show us something deeper than just "bad behavior." They point to a culture somewhere between moral relativism and moral collapse--where violence is cheered, where ideology overwhelms empathy, and where the role of a teacher as a caretaker, moral guide, or role model is forgotten.

Blurring of professional / personal boundaries: Many teachers seem to believe their private social media posts, or what they do outside class, are somehow detached from their role in school. But when you're teaching, parents and students see you not just as someone who imparts facts, but someone who shapes values. When that teacher with students in Grade 5 plays a graphic, violent video and says the victim "deserved" it, that crosses the boundary from "personal opinion" into indoctrination--or at least into something deeply harmful.

The demonic delusion is real.  The rhetoric of calling someone you disagree with a Nazi, transphobic, homophobic, racist and misogynistic is an attempt to make their enemies less human.  And once they are less than human, you can justify and celebrate their murder.  The irony is that while they are calling the other side Nazis, they are repeating the same thing Hitler did to dehumanize the Jews.
