The assassination has generated grief and outrage across the nation. Disturbingly, some Indiana educators have exacerbated the pain and sorrow that many parents and students are feeling by making divisive statements that excuse or even celebrate Kirk’s death.

“When teachers or professors entrusted with shaping young minds cheer the violent death of a political figure, they forfeit the moral authority to stand in front of a classroom,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Free speech is not a license for public employees to disrupt government operations by destroying public trust through callous, crude, and controversial speech. Schools and universities have legal authority to act to restore public confidence in our schools by disciplining these teachers—up to and including termination.”
