Fresno State lecturer placed on leave following Charlie Kirk comments

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A Fresno State lecturer has been placed on leave following comments about Charlie Kirk’s death.

“Fresno State condemns, in the strongest possible terms, any language that celebrates or condones violence. Such remarks are antithetical to our values at Fresno State,” the school said in a statement released Sunday.

In the video, uploaded Saturday, the lecturer says, “It’s too bad he’s not dead.” She goes on to say, “I don’t even know who he is. Just the description of him is like, ‘don’t care.'”

A day after the video was posted online, she was suspended. According to an open class list, the lecturer also teaches at Fresno City College.

YourCentralValley.com reached out to Fresno City College and the lecturer for comment.

The news follows an onslaught of dismissals, including locally.

A part-time faculty member at the College of Sequoias was placed on leave after allegedly telling students, “I hope all of his family dies and their children and their grandchildren children and their grandchildren children, and their grandchildren children to eternity.” 

A teacher at Mariposa County High School is also under scrutiny after parents say he told students that he is glad Charlie Kirk was killed, and told “MAGA kids to go home and cry.”
