Florida School Board Member Had Never Heard Of Charlie Kirk, But Now Falsely Claims He’s A ‘Racist Bigot’

Leftists largely have erupted in rage and ridicule over the assassination death of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, and the statements of prayers and sympathy for the family.

Now there’s a school board member in Florida who claims to have heard of Kirk only last week, but he’s already solidified his opinion that the Turning Point USA co-founder was a “racist bigot.”

Palm Beach County board member Edwin Ferguson was responding to an advisory from state officials that teachers should not be celebrating the assassination, and should not be mocking those who express support for Kirk’s widow, Erika, and the couple’s two small children.

Ferguson lashed out, “Comments that they made in regard to a gentleman by the name of Charlie Kirk, who, until the last week I knew nothing of. … Unless you, as a parent or you as a teacher feel bad because I as a teacher don’t miss a racist – a racist bigot at that – I don’t see how you’re going to be at risk of losing your teaching certificate.”

The advisory came about because some teachers were mocking Kirk and comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
