A Pennsylvania public school “emotional support teacher” shared a post calling slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a bigoted “white nationalist mouthpiece” who normalized “Trumpism” and does not deserve “empathy” shortly after he was assassinated on a Utah college campus.
Libs of TikTok shared the disturbing statement that Amanda Dodson, an employee of the School District of Lancaster, reposted on Facebook:
“Charlie Kirk was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country,” the text, originally posted by a far-left page ironically named “So Informed,” began.
“Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate. I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that,” the post continued. “In this situation, my empathy is reserved for his children.”
“May they grow up to live in a country that is the total opposite of everything their father envisioned. May all of our children grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously and reject any person who would try to justify senseless gun-related deaths — especially the deaths of children,” the post concluded.
Dodson’s Facebook page publicly states that she is an “emotional support teacher” with the Lancaster County public school district, as does her LinkedIn profile.
An emotional support teacher is a type of special education professional who works with students with behavioral issues.
A screenshot of the district’s directory nabbed by Libs of TikTok shows that Dodson works at Reynolds Middle School, and the district has yet to respond to the outrage caused by their employee.
Kirk was fatally shot in his neck in front of a crowd of students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the same day that a “subject” was in custody, but later released after interrogation:
Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, confirmed that their founder had been murdered in a solemn statement posted to social media:
President Donald Trump ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half-mast, and released a video condemning the violent attack:
Former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama also released statements regarding the assassination:
“There is no place in our country for this kind of violence. It must end now. Jill and I are praying for Charlie Kirk’s family and loved ones,” Biden wrote on X.
Obama wrote, “We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.”
