Educators, Leftists Ridicule Charlie Kirk's Assassination, Some Get Fired

Leftists are flooding social media with mocking posts about about Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday. Some are getting fired.

Many of those who are mocking or celebrating Kirk's death work as nurses, teachers, and social workers, said Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

The number of people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death who work as teachers, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other "helping professions" is immensely disturbing. We have a serious problem in this country.

University of Michigan assistant proferssor of education Charles H.F. Davis III described violence as a "solution," he said in a Sept 10 post, according to the Midwesterner.

The University of Michigan website lists Davis is an assistant professor at the Marshal Family School of Education. In his X bio, Davis uses the pronouns “he/him” and lists his location has “Occupied Anishinaabe Territory," the outlet reported.

Even if you believe violence isn’t the answer, it is a solution, especially to the violent conditions and violent rhetoric spewed by empowered people that create them.

Davis reposted, “Charlie Kirk is a reminder of two things: your words don’t skip consequences, they just collect interest. And lastly, empathy has boundaries. Good luck.”

Davis also reposted, “He spent his entire life disparaging immigrants, disrespecting women, and blaming black folks, only to get shot in one of the whitest places on earth.”

It's unclear if Davis is still employed. The University of Michigan hasn't responded to a request for comment.

Many of the people who posted awful things about a father of two who was assassinated "have no shame," said Fox's Kaylee McGhee White on X.

I have spent all day trying to understand why so many people in relatively prominent positions have felt comfortable saying such vile things publicly. They have no shame because they’ve never been forced to have any. The Left has controlled our cultural and political spaces for… https://t.co/AjK2dmYNUg

Eliza Lewis, a physician at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles called Charlie Kirk a “piece of s***” hours after he was assassinated at an event that was meant to spark meaningful discourse.

People have flooded the hospital’s X mentions with calls to fire Lewis. The hospital appears to have restricted its comment section to followers only.

The hospital hasn’t responded to a request for comment about the apparent conduct of the apparent visiting physician.

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for blaming a Kirk supporter for the shooting.

He said. “We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration. So we have no idea about this.”

Many others will be fired for making comments, said Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher for the D.C.-based Capitol Research Center.
