Canadian teacher showed Charlie Kirk assassination video to young students, said he deserved to die

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

A Toronto teacher was suspended after reportedly forcing students to watch the assassination video while lecturing them about ‘anti-fascism, anti-trans, and how Charlie Kirk deserved this to occur.’

A Canadian teacher from the Toronto area has been suspended after showing the assassination video of Charlie Kirk to children aged 10 to 11 in his class, allegedly telling students Kirk deserved to die.

The teacher, from the Corvette Junior Public School in Toronto, Ontario, has been suspended and is under investigation by officials at the Toronto District School Board.

According to a Toronto Sun report, a source close to the situation said that several students from the teacher’s class “went home and complained to their parents, traumatized at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over.”

The source added that “parents subsequently reached out to school administrators, who will be putting him on leave at the start of the school day, September 12th, 2025.”

According to the source, while the teacher was playing Kirk’s assassination video, “repeatedly, he gave a speech to his students regarding anti-fascism, anti-trans, and how Charlie Kirk deserved this to occur.”

This past Friday, school officials sent parents a letter about the incident, calling the teacher’s alleged actions “extremely troubling and completely disturbing.” 

“During class, students were said to have been shown a portion of a violent video in response to questions being asked about a recent tragic event in the United States,” reads the letter, which was signed by Corvette Junior Public School Principal Jennifer Koptie.

The letter confirmed that the video was allegedly shown to kids in grades 5 and 6 by a staff member at the school, who was supervising a French immersion class, but was not the student’s regular teacher.

“While an investigation must still be conducted to learn all of the details, the report of this incident is extremely troubling and completely unacceptable,” the letter continued.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Kirk, who was the CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot in the neck during an event on the campus of Utah Valley University last Wednesday and later died.

Law enforcement has Kirk’s alleged shooter in custody, as reported by LifeSiteNews.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the roommate and alleged “partner” of Charlie Kirk’s assassin suspect has been confirmed to be a man who identifies as transgender.

Canada’s Conservative Party leader, Pierre Poilievre, last week, gave a touching tribute to Kirk, saying he was “mercilessly assassinated” for simply expressing his “contrary views.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, after a long delay last Thursday, broke his silence on the assassination of Kirk, saying he was “appalled” by his murder while calling for “prayers” for his family.

Older man arrested at Kirk shooting admits to protecting real gunman

Published on

Quick Hit:

Chaos followed the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk when police first arrested a 71-year-old man who confessed he was only trying to distract them from the real shooter.

Key Details:

  • George Zinn, 71, was arrested after yelling, “I shot him, now shoot me!” but later admitted he was trying to mislead police.
  • The real suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested Thursday night and identified publicly Friday morning.
  • Zinn was charged with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony, while Robinson faces charges as the alleged assassin.

Diving Deeper:

Charlie Kirk, one of the most prominent young leaders in the conservative movement, was assassinated in a brazen political attack that shocked supporters nationwide. Instead of immediately capturing the real suspect, police initially detained George Zinn, a man with a long history of causing disruptions at political events and protests.

Video of Zinn being handcuffed quickly spread, leading many to believe the threat had been neutralized. But Zinn’s arrest was a diversion — one that he admitted to orchestrating in order to shield the real shooter. He told police he wanted to “draw attention from the real shooter,” an action that delayed accountability and nearly allowed a dangerous criminal to evade justice longer.

Zinn’s background only adds to the picture. As the Salt Lake Tribune noted, he has a history of disrupting events — from political speeches to cultural gatherings like the Sundance Film Festival. His disruptive activism fits a pattern of left-wing agitators who thrive on chaos, and in this case, he played a role in protecting an assassin.
