Klein ISD Terminates Employee Over Social Media Remarks About Charlie Kirk’s Death

Klein, Texas—Klein ISD has terminated the employment of an individual following “senseless and completely unacceptable remarks” made on social media about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The district stated that the employee’s conduct “does not reflect the values, standards, or expectations of our school district and will never be tolerated.” Klein ISD emphasized its commitment to a safe, respectful, and compassionate environment for its students, staff, and families, and assured the community that it takes matters of this nature with the utmost seriousness.

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, while hosting an event. The FBI has since arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, characterizing the killing as a “politically motivated assassination.”

Klein ISD’s response mirrors similar reactions from other school districts. Pasadena ISD and Dickinson ISD also publicly denounced social media comments allegedly made by their employees or former employees regarding Kirk’s death, reiterating their commitment to a respectful and compassionate environment.
