More than 100 Texas educators are now facing the end of their teaching careers after posting vile, hateful, and violent content celebrating the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk.
Governor Greg Abbott announced on Sunday that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has begun investigations into teachers who cheered Kirk’s murder and even incited additional violence online.
Abbott confirmed that these educators will not only have their teaching certifications suspended but will also be permanently barred from working in Texas public schools.
In a strongly worded letter to superintendents, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath condemned the educators’ despicable behavior, noting that such conduct may constitute violations of the Educators’ Code of Ethics.
He confirmed that all documented cases have been referred to TEA’s Educator Investigations Division.
The letter reads:
“TEA has been made aware of some Texas public school educators that have posted and/or shared reprehensible and inappropriate content on social media related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These educators’ comments do not reflect the vast majority of Texas teachers who are dedicated practitioners that work diligently to serve the more than 5.5 million impressionable young minds in our classrooms.
In response to such posts, I am referring all documentation of educators that have proliferated such vile content to TEA’s Educator Investigations Division. Such posts could constitute a violation of the Educators’ Code of Ethics, and each instance will be thoroughly reviewed to determine whether sanctionable conduct has occurred and staff will investigate accordingly.
While the exercise of free speech is a fundamental right we are all blessed to share, it does not give carte blanche authority to celebrate or sow violence against those that share differing beliefs and perspectives. Mr. Kirk was a father and a husband, and tragically, his children no longer have their father, and his wife no longer has her spouse. As a father and husband myself, and as someone devoted to the education of children, it is heartbreaking.
If you are made aware of additional instances of inappropriate content being shared, it should be reported to the agency through TEA’s Misconduct Reporting Portal.”

Governor Abbott doubled down on Morath’s letter, posting on X that Texas “will not tolerate educators who call for or incite violence.”
According to Texan News, the TEA has reportedly received roughly 180 complaints in response to the letter it circulated last week requesting reports of “reprehensible” content or social media posts shared by educators following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
