One of the most stunning aspects of the assassination of Charlie Kirk has been the trend of people on the left offering vile comments about Kirk. Even more amazing, is that many of those people were teachers, who have now been suspended or fired.
It’s absolutely indefensible, unless you’re the far left head of the largest teacher union in the country. Randi Weingarten is actually sticking up for these people, because of course she is.
People who make comments like that after a political assassination probably shouldn’t be working with kids. How does she not understand this?

Randi Weingarten Gripes About ‘Targeting’ of Teachers Who Celebrated Horrific Assassination of Charlie Kirk
The head of one of the nation’s largest teachers unions is whining about the “targeting” of teachers who are facing consequences for celebrating the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Randi Weingarten put out a press release on Thursday arguing that public schools teachers — individuals who are charged with influencing young minds and whose salaries are paid for by taxpayers — should not be fired “for their opinions” praising a political assassination. She also ironically called for finding ways to “de-escalate” despite promoting her book just days after 31-year-old Kirk’s assassination, in which she compares conservatives to “fascists,” “authoritarians,” and “Nazis.”
“Acts of violence and hate must be condemned, always. They are antithetical to democracy and the values we try to instill as teachers. Last week, anyone with a social media feed — including children — witnessed a devastating tragedy, a horrific act of political violence, that has traumatized the nation. Since then, teachers and many others we represent across the country have tried to deal with the effects of that trauma as it is playing out in classrooms, campuses, caregiving sites, and other settings,” she said.

Randi Weingarten is a walking argument for home schooling, whether she realizes it or not.
