A school teacher in Toronto was suspended after allegedly showing the shooting video of Charlie Kirk to the students. As per the reports, the teacher forcibly showed the video to 10-11-year-old students.
As per the reports, the educator at Corvette Junior Public School in Scarborough played the disturbing clip in class several times. Students were traumatized and informed their parents about the video.
Parents reached out to the school and lodged a complaint, calling out the insensitive behavior.
Gave Hate Speech
Not only did the teacher show a horrific video to the students, he also said that Kirk “deserved” to be killed and gave a speech about anti-fascism and transgender issues.
After the matter was highlighted, the school took action and the teacher was sent on leave as of September 12.
School Principal Jennifer Koptie wrote to parents and recognized the seriousness of the situation.
“We are writing to inform you about an incident that is reported to have taken place in your child’s class yesterday,” the letter stated. “During class, students were said to have been shown a portion of a violent video in response to questions being asked about a recent tragic event in the United States.”
Charlie Kirk, 31, a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump who helped build Republican support among young voters in 2024, was killed by a single gunshot fired from a rooftop as he spoke onstage during an outdoor campus event attended by 3,000 people.
The suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Thursday night, about 33 hours after the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel told reporters.
