Teacher suspended after showing Charlie Kirk assassination video to 10-and 11-year-olds, said he “deserved to die”

Charlie Kirk, an ally of President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck on Wednesday afternoon while speaking about mass shootings at Utah Valley University

A public school teacher in Toronto was suspended after allegedly showing the video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to students as young as 10 in his class, New York Post reported citing authorities. The teacher has been accused not only of showing video to the young students but also suggesting them that the right-wing conservative activist deserved to be killed, while giving a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues.“Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatized at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over,” a source told the Toronto Sun after the shocking incident at a school in Toronto on Thursday.“Parents subsequently reached out to school administrators, who will be putting him on leave at the start of the school day September 12th 2025.”The source added: “While playing this video repeatedly, he gave a speech to his students regarding anti-fascism, anti-trans, and how Charlie Kirk deserved for this to occur.”ALSO READ: Ricky Hatton’s cause of death revealed?
