BATON ROUGE - A Southern University law professor was suspended following comments she reportedly made on social media following conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk being shot to death.
Kelly Carmena, a professor in the criminal law clinic, allegedly said she would "1000% wish death on people like [Kirk]" and that he is the "epitome of evil" following the 31-year-old being killed at an event in Utah.
Popular social media account LibsOfTikTok posted about Carmena and her comments on Twitter, amassing 1.8 million views and 22,000 likes.
According to Southern Board Chairman Tony Clayton, Carmena was suspended for cause and it appeared she violated rules. Clayton also said he doesn't think a professor teaching kids should wish death on anybody.
