Juan C. Porras, a personal friend of Kirk\u2019s, has led calls for individuals lacking \u201chuman compassion\u201d in their speech to face job loss, framing it as an \u201caccountability culture\u201d rather than cancel culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Florida House Representative Berny Jacques (R-Seminole) called on Pinellas County Superintendent Kevin Hendrick to investigate a teacher who reportedly posted &#8220;Good Riddance&#8221; and said Kirk &#8220;deserved it&#8221; after the shooting. Similarly, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) urged constituents to report anyone expressing glee over Kirk\u2019s death, stating such individuals should be \u201cthrown out of civil society\u201d and face professional consequences like firing and license revocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas warned educators that public comments causing students or parents to feel unwelcome could lead to termination. These actions reflect a broader effort by Florida officials to suppress speech critical of Kirk rather than engage in it themselves. Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas as well issued a statewide memo directing school superintendents to investigate and discipline any educator whose public comments \u201ccelebrate or excuse\u201d Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination. He warned that such \u201cvile, sanctionable\u201d behavior undermines the trust of students and families and could mean minimally a loss of teaching credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Waldmiller Did you know that there have been continued attacks against Chalie Kirk from Florida teachers, legislators, and others even after his death?
