Clark County Board Confronts Fallout From Teachers’ Posts on Kirk Killing as Indiana Educator Resigns

District leaders cite disruption to school operations as the reason for removing some teachers from classrooms.

Overview

  • Dozens packed Thursday night’s Clark County School Board meeting in Las Vegas, where speakers split between demanding firings and condemning discipline over teachers’ social-media comments on Charlie Kirk’s death.
  • Superintendent Jhone Ebert said on Sept. 15 that certain educators were taken out of classrooms because their viral posts caused substantial disruption and raised safety concerns, with the district declining to say how many were affected.
  • The Clark County Education Association said it has opened an investigation and withheld comment on the district’s actions until its review is finished.
  • Conservative parental-rights groups including Moms for Liberty and My Children’s Advocate pressed for terminations, while activist Akiko Cooks accused trustees Lorena Biassotti and Lydia Dominguez of doxxing educators.
  • In a separate case, Valparaiso Community Schools in Indiana announced that Kathryn Cichocki resigned after her viral post praising Kirk’s assassination, reflecting how the controversy has extended beyond Nevada.
