It’s the Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, and Academics Who Scare Me – HotAir

When I see a young kid celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, it angers me, but it doesn’t really scare me. 

Young people are stupid, not in the sense that they are unintelligent, but rather, they lack life experience and wisdom. Their behavior is unacceptable, and they need to be told so and have proper behavior modeled for them. They should even be punished, but in a way that promotes emotional growth. 





When adults, especially adults in positions that have been elevated by society to the status of exemplary human beings, such as doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, and academics, that scares the crap out of me. Not because I fear that they will physically harm me–that is still vanishingly rare–but because they are actively destroying the foundation of our society and modeling that behavior for the young people who are still learning how to navigate life in a civilized society. 

I am squeamish about the databases being put together, documenting the vile comments made by people about Kirk’s assassination. Social media posts from random people that were made to be seen by their immediate circle of friends should be ignored by people other than their friends. 





Businesses that have employees who have celebrated Kirk’s death should deal with them according to company policies, and IMHO the standards should be different for somebody working in the shipping dock and one working in management or a public-facing position. The latter are a liability, the former not so much. 

However, the vast majority of posts I have seen celebrating Kirk’s death are from professional classes, particularly those in K-12 education and academia. There are judges and law clerks, prosecutors and defense attorneys, city council members and officials in the Democratic Party who are on the record celebrating Kirk’s death. 

These individuals need to be removed from elite society, and that means fired. 





First of all, those are the rules the left established, and turnabout is fair play. Our academic institutions have rescinded offers of enrollment from students for social media posts from their early teens. Failing to discipline a Dean or professor for celebrating an assassination is appalling. 

Second, these people have power over others, and they have made clear they want a good chunk of the people in our country dead. Literally dead. 

Can a judge treat a conservative fairly if he is happy to celebrate the death of a man for being a conservative? Obviously not. Can a doctor or nurse be allowed to treat patients if we know their standard for being worthy of living is political correctness? Obviously not. 





Worst of all, perhaps, are the K-12 teachers. The state elevates these people as exemplars–people who model behavior that children should emulate. The media is appalled that teachers are losing their jobs for reacting with glee that Kirk was assassinated; I am relieved they are being removed, if only temporarily, from positions of responsibility

What follows is a mere smattering of what was said by those in charge of your children’s education:

Melissa Easley, a member of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) School Board wrote on Facebook that while “political violence is not okay no matter what side you are on,” she added no one should “expect me to feel sorry, pitty [sic] or mournful” for Kirk as he “has gone around saying I or my spouse are abominations.” (Easley reportedly revealed two years ago that she is bisexual and her spouse “gender-fluid.”)

Easley ended her post with a currently-popular-among-leftists out-of-context quote from Kirk regarding the Second Amendment (see below).

Washington added that he won’t mourn Kirk; instead, he’s planning an “Even Nazis Are Expendable In The Eyes Of White Supremacy” soirée.

Los Angeles Unified School District teacher Jordan Sussman told Kirk on Instagram to “rest in piss.”

Xenia Community Schools (Ohio) educator Jenn Davis-Johnson wrote “How appropriate that Charlie Kirk was killed on the same day as 3 innocent children in school. Charlie wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m so happy for the Kirk family” (emphasis added).

Davis-Johnson’s district colleague Kevin Keefe said “I don’t condone killing people,” but “I will point out that hate breeds hate, and karma is a bitch.” (Keefe added an “edit” noting he had hoped Kirk “pulls through.”)





This story is particularly horrific:

Can anybody imagine a teacher showing students as young as 10 the video of Charlie Kirk being murdered by a gunshot to the neck?

The Toronto District School Board is investigating an allegation of this happening at a Scarborough elementary school.

First, a University of Toronto professor was sent home for an X post that appeared after the shooting suggesting shooting is “too good” for fascists, and now the TDSB has done the same with a teacher who allegedly showed a Grade 5 and 6 class Kirk’s assassination in Utah.

The Corvette Junior Public School teacher was not in class Friday while the TDSB investigates the complaint from parents that a class of 10 and 11 year olds was shown a graphic video of the slaying.

“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 close to the situation alleged. “Parents subsequently reached out to school administrators, who will be putting him on leave at the start of the school day September 12th 2025.”

“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,” the source claimed.





The key to civilization is social trust, and all too many people in our elites are untrustworthy. They have hearts filled with hate for their fellow citizens, and don’t belong in positions where they are responsible for the well-being of others. 

That is scary. A civilization with an elite filled with people who not-so-secretly wish for half their fellow citizens to be dead cannot survive, and won’t. These people control the levers of power, teach our children, care for us in our hospitals, and literally judge us from the bench. 

Is it cancel culture to drive them out of polite society? No. It is self-defense. 

Democrats don’t yet understand how conservatives can see the rot in the left’s attitudes, and we are not going to be gaslighted by The New York Times or Ezra Klein at The Atlantic into not believing the evidence before our eyes. 

Klein says we invented those videos because we want to feel aggrieved. That’s rich from the grievance culture folks, and by now, only people who live in the liberal bubble–and there are many more than you can imagine–still believe this crap. 





It’s rich to see Democrats whine about “cancel culture;” it’s as convincing as their complaints about lawfare. 

We’re not in the mood to be lectured at the moment. The smartest thing the left could do right now is shut up, but it’s not in their nature.
