Displaying a graphic video of a young man’s murder to schoolchildren is extraordinarily inappropriate. It is an act filled with hatred, regardless of the intended message. We shield children from the harsh realities of life to maintain their innocence until they are mature enough, both mentally and emotionally, to handle such truths.

This is a fundamental principle of modern society. However, a teacher in Scarborough, Ontario, reportedly chose to show a class of 10- and 11-year-olds the video of Charlie Kirk’s murder. This story was covered by Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun last Friday.

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.

Previously, a University of Toronto professor faced consequences for an online post made after the incident, suggesting that shooting is “too good” for fascists. In a similar vein, the TDSB has taken action against a teacher accused of showing Grade 5 and 6 students the video of Kirk’s killing in Utah.

The teacher from Corvette Junior Public School was absent on Friday as the TDSB investigates complaints from parents who reported that their children, aged 10 and 11, were exposed to a graphic video depicting the murder.

Assuming this is true – the investigation is still ongoing – this seems grounds for dismissal, at the minimum.

But wait! There’s more!

“Several students went home and told their parents, deeply disturbed by repeatedly witnessing the on-screen death,” a source familiar with the situation alleged. “As a result, parents contacted school officials, and the teacher will be placed on leave starting the school day of September 12th, 2025.”

“While replaying the video, he delivered a speech to the students about anti-fascism, anti-trans sentiments, and claimed that Charlie Kirk deserved such an outcome,” the source reported.

Numerous times over. Why? What possible reason could there be for the repetition? And why would anyone think it’s appropriate to lecture a class of 10- and 11-year-olds on far-left political ideology – or, for that matter, any political ideology? Showing the video to college students, well, that’s another story. In fact, some of the little left-wing halfwits in the university systems today would do well to have their noses rubbed in it. But not children.
