TEA investigating “inappropriate” content about Kirk

AUSTIN — The Texas Education Agency (TEA) said it’s investigating educators’ social media posts related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk that it considers “inappropriate,” according to our news partner KETK.

“These educators’ comments do not reflect the vast majority of Texas teachers who are dedicated practitioners that work diligently to serve the more than 5.5 million impressionable young minds in our classrooms,” Morath said in the letter.

Winnsboro ISD is investigating comments made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination after parents alleged that students heard an assistant band director say that Kirk “had it coming.”

“Our schools are places where every student should feel safe, respected and supported. The trust you place in us to educate and care for your children is something we do not take lightly. While we are limited in what we can share during an ongoing personnel matter, we are committed to upholding the values of respect, inclusivity and professionalism in our district. We appreciate your support as we work through this process and remain focused on our mission of providing a safe and positive learning environment for all students.”
