Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 16, 2025]

Accountability is non-negotiable.
Those who celebrate political violence do not belong anywhere near students or the classroom.
Paid leave is unacceptable. They should be fired.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Are you sure they celebrated or just commented?
Does trump get fired fir telling a crowd to beat up a man and throw him outside without a coat in minus 10 degree weather?
Let’s have some Grace.
Let’s everyone step back and tone it down. No calls for violence and no celebrations of school shootings.
The next political violence condem it.
FYI . Not too late to condemn 6 Jan, the attack on Pelosi, the Governor of Pennsylvania, the planned attack on the Michigan governor, the Muder of the Minnesota legislator or the violence that Kile Rettinor was involved in.
When you call out one but not everyone it sounds untrue.
And yes I condemned the attack on the congressional baseball teams and the attempts on trump.
Stop all school shootings and political violence.

MA stay in your lane, obviously you have not read all of his beliefs or you surely would not post that.

So should you, yet here we are 🤷🏽‍♀️

I thought republicans were against cancel culture?

it’s OK when they do it.

He was killed on camera. No one’s family deserves to have to witness that. It’s unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that “I don’t care that he’s dead.”
“He’s not a hero.” “He’s a scumbag.”
“He shouldn’t be celebrated.”
I’m talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd.
Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?

cancel culture and “f” your feelings crowd sure are going against their beliefs…

Nothing about this situation violates the school’s policies, and you publicly calling for their termination is unacceptable. These two staff members shared posts on their own time, on private pages. They were not public posts, not shared with students, and not brought into the classroom. Our district has systems in place, like classroom observations, performance evaluations, compliance checks, and other accountability measures to ensure staff professionalism. There is no evidence that any line was crossed in school, and certainly no “celebration” of someone’s death. Yet the pitchforks have already come out: first coming for the counselor, then the teacher, then the superintendent, board members, and now even another principal. This is dangerous behavior from people who don’t know these two incredible individuals, don’t understand our school policies, and do not understand our First Amendment rights.

I read what they wrote. No one was celebrating anything. They were stating their opinion.

They should be gone.

So, you’re in favor of cancel culture this week?

are you politely, as you clutch your pearls, choosing specific words, hoping your dog whistle calls up a mad dog? How cute.

Please continue to tell the truth and put the good word out on Jesus Christ 🙏 Unashamed in his glory. Stay safe Congressman Mark Alford and the good people who believe in rightousness. Pray for the world 🌎🙏

Did they use school resources?
Post on school time?
Attach their school issued credentials?
If so, fine. Fire them.
If not, then leave them the hell alone and start holding yourself, your staff, your party and your people to the same standard of behavior and accountabilities.
“First clean the inside of the cup,” if you will.

You are so right. If evil is celebrated we have lost all sense of humanity.
The left bashes us because we didn’t equally react to the Hortmans horrific murders. But it’s certainly not because it doesn’t affect us and you don’t see us celebrating it.
Both are equally horrible but Charlie was in our living rooms day after day and we KNEW him. We Saw His brutal assassination.
THE FACT THAT THE LEFT IS Celebrating OR MAKING EXCUSES IS SICKENING.

Where to begin?

Show us an example of the left “celebrating” his death. A REAL example.
NOBODY I know is celebrating his death. We are merely REPEATING his OWN WORDS back to you all and saying that he was indeed a hateful, bigoted, racist, misogynistic jerk…and, you all consider that to be “celebrating.”

he twisted the teachings of Jesus to suit his needs. And you welcomed him into your home. There are no “celebrations,” going on. Those that don’t believe the way You do are NOT evil.
Just look at the actual words of ck concerning the vicious attack on Paul Pelosi, the Hartman murder and his despicable comments concerning the slaughter of children, he suggests execution of LBGTQ and his vile words concerning POC.
And you worship him?! Thats the problem. Not a democrat wanting fully funded public education, food assistance to Everyone that needs food, Healthcare as a Right, strong infrastructure, affordable and safe housing, a living wage, support Unions, to protect and preserve the environment and wants Equal Rights, Civil Rights, Human Rights for ALL. Last I knew, Jesus supported those things, actually TOLD his followers to help, welcome, feed, clothe, house, heal and Love others.

Probably not attributable to Gandhi.

You should be fired.

I researched every aspect of this issue, including going to the “So Informed” social media page to find and read EXACTLY the post that these teachers forwarded ( which, by the way, they later deleted). This post did not celebrate or advocate political violence even though it shared a point of view about the character (based on Charlie Kirk’s own words) of Charlie Kirk which many people also share. This post was quick to state empathy for Charlie Kirk’s wife and children and voiced the wish for all of our children to grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously.
This is Freedom of Speech. The same Freedom of Speech that President Trump used when (without any evidence) immediately accused the so-called Democratic left for this despicable act of violence. In the days since then it has basically been proven that the murdere was influenced by a radical group that thinks the so-called Republican right is actually not radically “right wing” enough and not the “left” at all.
Stop this rhetoric. Stop creating more animosity than there already is!!!

I have yet to see anybody that celebrating his death. I see more people trying to make a martyr out of a bigot. The problem is if people speak out and point out that he really wasn’t as christ-like as the right is trying to make him then they’re being punished. It’s ridiculous

Careful clutching your pearls.

Cancel culture for me, but not for thee. What a hypocrite? How does his idiot keep getting elected?

Americans are busy hating each other when we could just tax the rich and solve 90% of our problems.

Shhhh.

The ‘fuck your feelings’ crowd sure is butthurt these days…

Cracker Barrel ruined their lives.

I didn’t realize we were in the midst of thought police, Marky Mark.

Once again, NICE JOB UNITING EVERYONE, ASSHOLE ALFORD.

You’re an embarrassment.

Our children deserve better than to fear being shot in schools. But that’s been a non-starter for decades (thanks, Alford).

[….] Speaking of celebrating political violence, didn’t Charlie suggest that somebody should bail out the man who beat Paul Pelosi on the head with a hammer? Mark, did you forget? Should Charlie have been near students?

Yes, yes he did. He also facilitated several busses for the J6 insurrectionists to travel to D.C. that day.

So you can’t even criticize someone without some snowflakes trying to get you fired? Neat.

Here’s Alford again stoking the fire after he goes on TV and pretends he wants to lower the temperatures

Im not celebrating, and I haven’t seen a single celebration being held.
What I do see are people like you Congressman Mark Alford, acting like ck was some national hero. He is, was not. He twisted the words in the Bible, the words of Jesus, to fit his needs. He used his twisted rhetoric to spread hate, division, racism, misogynistic views, and enriched himself off the pain he caused.
And I wont waste a drop of empathy on him, he wouldn’t want that afterall.

Freedom of speech is only free if you agree with it, right ?

??? Did they violate an existing school or district policy on politics ? If so, they should be reprimanded, if not they should be protected under the First Amendment as this was not done while in the school setting. Calm down, people who disagree with your opinion may open dialogue and insight if hostility is removed. Controversial subjects should not lead to violence. I read the full post I did not see where there was celebration of violence, lack of empathy, yes.

Repeating Kirk’s words are getting people in trouble? That should tell you something.

On their private pages no doubt?
So fascists, like Congressman Mark Alford, get to lie and gaslight every day on their pages—paid for by us taxpayers—while people who work in Missouri schools with our children get punished for telling the truth?

If his own words didn’t concern you, you got a problem.

Republicans are what they hate.
They represent Charlie Kirk’s version of free speech, also known as White privilege.

To take the side of a xenophobe, racist, sexist, bigot over the First Amendment is fascist to the core.

Weaponizing much…
