A public school teacher in Canada has been suspended for showing students the video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The incident occurred at Corvette Junior Public School in Scarborough, Ontario.
Students Traumatized
Students as young as 10 were shown the graphic video.
Some children went home and told their parents they were traumatized.
Parents immediately contacted school administrators to demand action.
A source said the teacher played the video multiple times.
He allegedly lectured students that Kirk “deserved it.”
He reportedly tied the video to themes of “anti-fascism” and “anti-trans.”
School Response
Principal Jennifer Koptie sent a letter home to parents.
She confirmed a violent video had been shown in class.
She said the teacher was removed from all responsibilities pending investigation.
The Toronto District School Board is offering counseling to students.
Administrators described the incident as “extremely troubling” and “unacceptable.”
The principal emphasized that appropriate policies were being followed.
Broader Context
The suspension follows similar controversies in the U.S.
Several professors and journalists have lost their jobs for celebrating Kirk’s death.
Media outlets have also faced backlash for downplaying the tragedy.
MSNBC commentator Matthew Dowd claimed Kirk’s rhetoric led to his shooting.
He said “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which lead to hateful actions.”
His remarks were widely condemned as victim-blaming.
Kirk’s Legacy
Charlie Kirk was a key figure in Trump’s 2024 victory.
He was one of the president’s most effective advocates outside government.
His death has sparked widespread mourning.
