School board member had never heard of Charlie Kirk, but now claims he’s ‘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 be mocking those who express support for Kirk’s widow, Erika, and the couple’s two small children.
Ferguson lashed out, “Comments that they mad ein 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.
JUST IN: “I Don’t Miss a Racist Bigot.”

Social media responded, with one writer explaining, “I live in this county and as a taxpayer I do not approve or appreciate my money being used to fund his salary. I’ve already sent emails to @SenRickScott, @SenAshleyMoody and tweeted @RepFine (even though I’m not in his district) to look into this matter immediately.”
Another said, “Sounds like another firing is in order. The unemployment line awaits!”
In fact, employers all across America have been removing from their payrolls workers who openly celebrate and mock the criminal assassination, for which a suspect now is charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty.
That suspect is identified as Tyler Robinson, who reports confirm had turned radically left over recent months, being immersed in the transgender ideology.
A report at the Gateway Pundit said, “Ferguson criticized the letter from the DOE warning teachers against mocking Charlie Kirk and compared Kirk to Adolf Hitler.”
“I have [yet] to hear a person of the Jewish faith say that, ‘I miss Adolf Hitler,'” the report said he complained.
