Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas warned educators on Thursday to abstain from celebrating violence after a teacher was suspended for making exuberant statements about political influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) praised Kamoutsas for committing to conduct an investigation into every teacher who engaged in such “vile” behavior in the wake of outrage against Ridgeview Elementary teacher Kelly Brock-Sanchez for making the controversial post on Facebook.
“Teachers are held to a higher standard as public servants and must ensure their conduct does not undermine the trust of the students and families they serve,” Kamoutsas said in a post to X. “We will hold teachers who choose to make disgusting comments about the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk accountable. Govern yourselves accordingly.”
