Palm Beach County School Board member Edwin Ferguson branded Charlie Kirk a “racist bigot” during a public board meeting on Wednesday.
Ferguson’s outburst came after he was warned the Florida Education Commissioner would investigate Florida teachers celebrating or mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“Comments that they made in regard to a gentleman by the name of Charlie Kirk, who, until the last week I knew nothing of,” Ferguson said. “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.”
Ferguson criticized the letter from the DOE warning teachers against mocking Charlie Kirk and compared Kirk to Adolf Hitler.
“I have het to hear a person of the Jewish faith say that, “I miss Adolf Hitler.”
