A nationwide initiative has emerged targeting educators accused of publicly celebrating or justifying the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The 1776 Project PAC has launched an online reporting portal where concerned citizens can flag teachers who have shared posts or comments endorsing Kirk’s murder.
The PAC reports a surge of submissions since the platform went live, reflecting widespread concern over the exposure of students to extremist rhetoric.
Stefano Forte, executive director of 1776 Project PAC, emphasized the initiative is about accountability, not censorship.
“We are not restricting speech, but people in positions of authority cannot openly condone violence and still be entrusted with young people,” Forte said.
He called accusations that the project violates free speech “baseless,” noting that consequences follow public actions, especially when those actions glorify murder.
Resist the Mainstream has continuously reported on social media posts mocking or justifying Kirk’s death that have appeared from politicians, journalists, first responders and healthcare workers as well.
Forte said the PAC’s goal is to make the public aware of these statements, rather than suppress legitimate discourse.
“These posts were made openly. We are simply highlighting what people have chosen to say,” he explained.
Several high-profile cases have emerged.
Fox News reported that a George Washington University administrator allegedly posted on social media that Kirk’s death was “fair” and expressed “no thoughts” or “no prayers,” prompting disciplinary attention.
Similar examples have appeared among educators and public employees, illustrating the potential consequences of promoting extremist viewpoints in positions of influence.
The controversy has extended internationally.
In Toronto, a supervising teacher at Corvette Junior Public School reportedly showed students a video depicting Kirk’s assassination, prompting parental outrage and a temporary suspension while the school district conducts a review.
Students described being traumatized by repeated exposure to the graphic footage, which the teacher allegedly used as part of a political lecture, as RTM previously reported.
Parents and observers have raised concerns about the normalization of extreme political rhetoric in educational and professional environments.
Forte pointed out that some left-leaning organizations have even issued guidance on what members should post online, creating a culture where inflammatory statements may go unchecked until publicized.
“It demonstrates a broader cultural problem of failing to hold people accountable for glorifying violence,” he said.
School officials in the U.S. and Canada have acted swiftly in response to such incidents, balancing constitutional protections with safety and professional standards.
Investigations continue into whether the online activity or classroom incidents represent isolated cases or part of a larger pattern of political extremism among educators.
The initiative by 1776 Project PAC has reignited discussion about the boundaries between free expression and ethical responsibility for professionals.
While public discourse remains protected, stakeholders argue that promoting or endorsing acts of violence undermines trust in institutions and raises questions about the suitability of individuals in roles that shape young minds or influence public perception.
As the PAC continues to receive tips and investigations unfold, the debate over accountability and professional conduct in politically charged environments shows no sign of abating.
Observers predict that schools, universities, and other organizations may face increasing scrutiny over the online behavior of their staff, forcing institutions to weigh the limits of expression against their duty to safeguard students and communities.
