A SCHOOL teacher has been suspended for allegedly showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s horror assassination to kids as young as 10 in class.
The teacher also reportedly told their students that the MAGA influencer “deserved” to be killed.

Graphic footage of Kirk’s death has been widely circulated online in the aftermath of the shocking attack.
But in Toronto, a teacher allegedly “traumatised” their class by showing school children the grisly clip.
The Corvette Junior Public School teacher, who has not been named, was relieved of their duties after the incident pending an investigation.
Kids aged 10 and 11 were made to watch the horrifying video of Kirk’s final moments, the Toronto Sun has reported.
The staff member is understood not to be the class’ regular teacher and was simply supervising the group that day.

A source close to the situation told the paper: “Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatised at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over.
“Parents subsequently reached out to school administrators, who will be putting him on leave at the start of the school day September 12, 2025.”
They added: “While playing this video repeatedly, he gave a speech to his students regarding anti-fascism, anti-trans, and how Charlie Kirk deserved for this to occur.”
The school’s principal Jennifer Koptie sent a letter to the parents of the affected children to explain the situation.
It reads: “We are writing to inform you about an incident that is reported to have taken place in your child’s class yesterday.
“During class, students were said to have been shown a portion of a violent video in response to questions being asked about a recent tragic event in the United States.”
“The teacher has been relieved of all teaching responsibilities pending the outcome of the investigation and will not be at the school.”
Koptie added that the school is providing support to any kids who were traumatised by the video.
“The video is believed to have been shown once by a staff member supervising the class who is not the homeroom teacher,” she wrote.

“While an investigation must still be conducted to learn all of the details, the report of this incident is extremely troubling and completely unacceptable.
“We recognise the seriousness of this matter and have taken immediate steps to follow all appropriate policies and procedures.”
It is just one of several firings and suspensions across schools and universities in the wake of Kirk’s death.
At the University of Mississippi, a staff member was let go for sharing “hurtful, insensitive comments” about the assassination.
Broadcaster MSNBC has also fired one of its analysts over comments made in the wake of the shock attack.
Kirk was hit in the neck by a bullet at a student debate even on Wednesday in Utah.
His death was confirmed by President Donald Trump within a couple of hours.
After a multi-day probe, cops apprehended Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the investigation.
The 22-year-old was arrested after his dad turned him into the police.
He had “excitedly” bragged about his long-range shooting skills last year, according to a former colleague.
The alleged shooter also shared twisted jokes with his friends on Discord as the FBI frantically searched for a suspect.
After a grainy image was released during the probe, Robinson had reportedly joked that his “doppleganger” was on the loose.
On a Discord forum, he also mocked the police investigation, saying he had “better also get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around”.
A firebrand conservative commentator, Charlie Kirk was perhaps best known for his key role in the pro-Trump think tank Turning Point USA.
His funeral is scheduled to take place on September 21 in Arizona.
Kirk was a hard-line supporter of President Donald Trump, who has pledged to attend the ceremony.
