** Educators Celebrate Charlie Kirk's Murder
------------------------------------------------------------


** “I hope every one of his family dies.”

In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination during an event in Utah last week, many of those charged with educating the next generation are showing their depravity. And even sharing it with the children they teach.

On September 10, just after the horrific news of Charlie’s assassination broke, Oskaloosa, Iowa high school art teacher Matt Kargol posted to social media declaring ([link removed]) , “1 Nazi down.”

Samantha Marengo, who teaches young children at King Elementary School in Framingham, Massachusetts, shared a video of herself in front of a telecast reporting on Kirk’s death while singing “God Bless America.”

At Mariposa County High School in California, a math teacher identified by parents as “Mr. Elm” allegedly told ([link removed]) students that he was glad that Charlie Kirk was killed and mockingly told “MAGA kids to go home and cry.”

Jonathan Washington, an elementary school educator from Pasadena, TX, posted to X, “I am not mourning his death, I am actually planning a soirée,” adding, “Charlie Kirk is dead and I just saved 100 dollars by switching to GEICO.”

Barrington, Rhode Island teacher Benjamin Fillo posted ([link removed]) a video calling Kirk a “piece of garbage,” and stating “this is what happens,” implying that Charlie deserved to be assassinated, before ending the video by flippantly declaring, “Bye Charlie!”

Kristen Eve, who is employed by the federal government to teach at the Department of Defense Education Activity at Fort Bragg, NC, labeled Kirk: “a garbage human” in a Facebook post and asserted “I won’t mourn him for one second.” She further warned, “We are at a point where things are going to have to get ugly, get messy, maybe even get violent, to change this dumpster fire of a country,” adding,” “f—k the high road,” and “f—k that guy,” referring to Kirk.

Amanda Dodson, who teaches for the school district of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, shared on Facebook that “Charlie Kirk was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country.”

“Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate,” the teacher added. “I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that.”

While some of these educators have been put on leave pending investigations, the ironclad grip of the teachers’ unions means that firing a public school teacher is incredibly difficult, even when they demonstrate depraved indifference toward human life and a total lack of moral character.

College professors and administrators were no less muted in their celebration of Kirk’s death.

Marilee Kinsella, a program assistant for the Philosophy Department at Gonzaga University, shared on Facebook, “I’m Glad [Charlie Kirk] is dead because he was a horrible excuse for a human being. In fact, I’m going to have a cocktail and get high in his memory.”

UT-Knoxville anthropology professor Tamar Shirininan posted ([link removed]) about Kirk that “The world is better off without him in it. Even those who are claiming to be sad for his wife and kids…like, his kids are better off living in a world without a disgusting psychopath like him and his wife, well, she’s a sick fuck for marrying him so I don’t care about her feelings.”

Anna Kenney, an associate professor in—horrifyingly—the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University Medical School, posted “Good riddance” in celebration of Kirk’s murder and added “he seems like a disgusting individual.”

UCLA’s Director of Race and Equity Jay Perk not only celebrated Kirk’s murder—he attempted to justify that celebration with lies. “It is OKAY to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people’s death dies—even if they are murdered” he wrote on Bluesky. “Why shouldn’t he be dead?” he asked rhetorically.

Middle Tennessee State University Assistant Dean of Students Laura Sosh-Lightsy made light of Charlie’s death and argued that he deserved to be shot, posting ([link removed]) “Looks like ‘ol Charlie spoke his fate into existence. Hate begets hate. ZERO sympathy.” In a rare display of sanity in academia, the dean has now been fired.

And at Fresno State, a video shows biology professor Shannon Sheath apparently commenting ([link removed]) on Kirk’s shooting to her class, stating “I hope every one of his family dies. And their children, and their grandchildren, and their grandchildren, and their grandchildren, to eternity.”

The irony of these horrific comments is that each and every one of these depraved individuals is proving Charlie Kirk right in his warnings about the radical leftist indoctrination that has invaded our nation’s K-12 schools and universities.

“Young people in college – many living away from their parents for the first time in their lives – are particularly vulnerable to the leftist propaganda campaign designed to turn them away from supporting President Trump and turning them away from believing in American exceptionalism,” Kirk has said.

Kirk also offered insight into the true nature of the Left—an understanding that has been proven over and over by the reaction of radical activists to his death: “The truth is that while those on the left – particularly the far left – claim to be tolerant and welcoming of diversity, in reality many are quite intolerant of anyone not embracing their radical views.”

Kirk was right to target radical educators for the outsize role they have played in indoctrinating our nation’s youth with destructive and unpatriotic leftist ideology. His wisdom will echo on through the ensuing years. And America is finally waking up to the dire situation we find ourselves in.

One of the foremost principles of higher education is the pursuit of the truth through free and open discourse, no matter where it may lead. Yet over the past several decades, few places in America have become more hostile to free speech than our universities. These institutions of higher education have often lived up to their ivory tower reputation, becoming cloistered echo chambers of leftist thought where voicing a dissenting view is cause for abrupt dismissal or being hauled before a disciplinary board and sentenced to reeducation.

The last year has brought an apparent shift in these attitudes. In the wake of rising anti-Semitism and the pro-Hamas campus rallies and occupations that were sparked by the terror group’s October 7 massacre, university administrators seem to have had a sudden change of heart. Free speech, once considered suspect, is now declared to be of paramount importance to the healthy functioning of a university, even—or perhaps especially—when the group being targeted by it is Jews.

In defending Penn’s hosting of the Palestine Writes Literature Festival, which featured multiple speakers well-known for their anti-Semitism, Former Penn President Liz Magill released a statement naming free expression as one of the university’s foremost values. “We unequivocally – and emphatically – condemn antisemitism as antithetical to our institutional values,” she wrote. “As a university, we also fiercely support the free exchange of ideas as central to our educational mission. This includes the expression of views that are controversial and even those that are incompatible with our institutional values.”

Columbia University’s former president Minouche Shafik, who resigned following her failure to rein in pro-Hamas demonstrations on campus, similarly pledged that the university administration “are committed to academic freedom and to ensuring that all members of our community have the right to speak their minds” and argued before Congress that “We believe we can confront antisemitism and provide a safe campus environment for our community while simultaneously supporting rigorous academic exploration and freedom.”

Responding to pro-Hamas protests on campus, the University of Louisville’s former President Kim Schatzel described why they must be permitted to continue, saying, ([link removed]) “The answer is that as a public university, the University of Louisville’s restrictions on such speech—no matter how offensive the content—would constitute a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution that protects free speech…”

These sentiments might forecast a step in the right direction—if only they were consistent. But at far too many campuses, the same administrators that have defended the free speech rights of Jew-haters, Hamas supporters, or radical gender activists have blatantly failed to secure the same rights for those with opposing views.

It is time that we hold these university administrators to account for their double standards in protecting free speech on campus and withdraw federal funding from those who do not immediately rectify this duplicity.

The following report names the most egregious perpetrators of these double standards in free expression as Ivory Tower Hypocrites. These are universities whose leaders have permitted woke leftist activists, including those affiliated with the terrorist group Hamas, to run roughshod over campus rules and violate codes of conduct—not to mention moral decency—with impunity, while failing to extend even basic free speech protections to students and faculty with opposing views. The rule of the mob has no place in academia.

We call on the universities implicated in this report to take immediate action to review and standardize their policies on free expression to protect all viewpoints equally and to further institute harsh penalties for those who disrupt organized events or speakers. We further call on all alumni of these universities to withhold any further donations until they have been sufficiently convinced that these severe defects in equal protection have been remedied. And we urge President Trump and Congress to investigate these clear violations of federal law and withhold funding to those universities who fail to uphold equal standards in protecting free speech.

Introduction:

Ever since October 7^th, 2023, when Hamas launched its barbaric attack on innocent Israeli civilians—slaughtering over a thousand innocent people, raping and mutilating women, massacring children and the elderly for kicks—the world has borne witness to the atrocious Jew hatred housed in our most prestigious colleges and universities.

Across the nation, on nearly every major university campus, students took to the streets—not to decry Hamas’s brutality but to applaud it as a valid act of “resistance” against their “colonial oppressors.” Chanting genocidal slogans—“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” “Intifada, Intifada,” “Resistance is Justified, When People are Occupied”—these students, often accompanied by faculty, cheered for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state.

The revelation that American campuses are hotspots of Jew hatred may seem sudden for some, but in truth this hatred and prejudice has been percolating for many years, aided and abetted by the universities themselves. For the past two decades, the David Horowitz Freedom Center has shone a rare spotlight on the genocidal Jew hatred emanating from our college campuses and raised the alarm. Now, the world at large is witnessing how much ground we have already given up in this fight.

In the midst of this turmoil, the presidents of our major universities have found themselves trapped by their own complicity, forced to condemn the undeniable Jew hatred that roils their campuses while attempting to obscure their own role in abetting it.

As the Freedom Center has relentlessly documented, American universities have played an undeniable role in funding and providing a veneer of legitimacy to anti-Semitic student organizations like the Hamas-funded Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Students Association. What has received less attention—but should in fact be highlighted as American universities’ worst offense—is the Jew hatred promoted by official departments and institutes of the universities themselves.

Millions of dollars in both public and private money is funneled into academic departments and centers, housed at America’s most prestigious universities. These official organs of the university actively promote Jew hatred, glorify in Hamas’s violence against Israeli civilians, and spread genocidal lies about Israel being an “apartheid” and “settler-colonialist” state. They invite speakers and host conferences whose entire purpose is to cast aspersions on the Jews and their homeland of Israel.

Whole academic departments and institutes, under the official auspices of their prestigious universities, violate every principle of academic integrity to cast their lot with the barbaric Hamas terrorists in order to bring about the destruction of Israel—all while the presidents of those same universities declare themselves horrified by growing anti-Semitism on campus. They fuel the atrocious Jew hatred that has overtaken both students and faculty on campus and turned the halls of academia into training grounds for the next generation of jihadists.

The following report will expose the blatant hypocrisy of American universities and their leaders, who express horror at the outbreak of anti-Semitism on campus yet spend millions funding academic centers and departments which actively promote that same Jew hatred.

We call on the universities implicated in this report to take immediate action to discipline these academic centers and departments which openly defy university policy to promote Jew hatred. If they should fail to do so, we urge Congress to withhold all federal funding until they eliminate this cancer in their midst.
