TRENTON, NJ – Thousands of teachers across the country are publicly celebrating the public execution and school shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Of all the people who should not be celebrating public executions on the grounds of learning institutions it is school teachers.
While some are being fired, others are being protected by their unions. In New Jesey, and other states, a new request by one legislator could turn an off-color and insensitive statement online into the loss of millions of dollars for the local school district where that teacher works.
In the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is urging the Department of Education to take aggressive action against schools where faculty or staff have publicly celebrated or excused the killing.
In a letter dated Friday to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, Mace condemned what she called “abhorrent rhetoric” from some teachers and professors who made light of Kirk’s death. She demanded that federal financial support be terminated for any elementary, secondary, or post-secondary institution that fails to hold personnel accountable.
“This is fundamentally incompatible with the values of our nation – and anyone who would celebrate the assassination of their fellow citizen should have no role in educating America’s children,” Mace wrote. “Schools who fail to take immediate administrative action… should not be subsidized by the American taxpayer.”
The congresswoman highlighted a series of politically motivated attacks in recent years, including the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, PA, and the shooting of Republican lawmakers at the Congressional Baseball Game practice, framing Kirk’s death as part of a broader escalation in violence.
Mace’s letter calls on McMahon to ensure disciplinary or termination proceedings against school personnel who defend or excuse Kirk’s assassination, and to withdraw funding from institutions that fail to comply.
She closed with a stark warning: “We don’t fund hate. We fire it.”
