Oklahoma’s top education official is promising swift action after reports of teachers posting political comments online about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
State Superintendent Ryan Walters says educators who glorify or politicize Kirk’s death could face investigations—and possibly lose their teaching licenses.
Walters Condemns Posts, Calls for Accountability
In a statement released Thursday, Walters said he is aware of teachers using Kirk’s murder to push political messages. He urged parents to report any behavior that could undermine the classroom environment.
“Any teacher or employee who attempts to glorify this disgusting act of violence will have their teaching license taken from them and will never step foot in an Oklahoma school again,” Walters said.
