The Florida Department of Education plans to investigate any teacher in the state who engages in “despicable, violating behavior” Charlie Kirk.
“Getting my attention, some Florida educators posted despicable comments on social media about Charlie Kirk’s horrible assassination,” Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas wrote in a memo sent to the dean of the state school and shared it with Fox News Digital.
He added: “This few are not a great, high-quality teacher that accounts for the vast majority of educators in Florida. But I will investigate every educator who engages in this evil, horrible behavior.”
Kamoutsas said the memorandum should remind people that teachers “maintain higher standards as civil servants.”

The memorandum states that teachers should abide by the code of ethics and says that the commissioner can use “probable reasons for possible approval of educator certificates.” It can also be a violation of the educator’s behavior that makes students or their families feel “unpopular or unwilling to participate in a learning environment”.

“Although educators have First Amendment rights, these rights are not limited to their professional responsibilities,” Kamoutsas added. “The personal view of open educators may undermine the trust of the students and families they serve.”
