Professors defend Charlie Kirk assassination on Bluesky
Campus Reform ^ | September 12, 2025 | Claire Harrington

In response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, various university faculty and staff have expressed views on Bluesky that appear to support his killing.

In response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, various university faculty and staff have expressed views on Bluesky that appear to support his killing.

“Charlie Kirk was a vicious, hateful fascist and white supremacist,” wrote Martin Pfeiffer, a “QUEER” Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Mexico. “To say anything else is a lie and, quite frankly, fascist collaboration.”

WARNING! LANGUAGE!....................

English professor Abigail Higgs of Morgan State University wrote: “I think what disturbs me most about the video is seeing how much blood he instantly lost. ... But no, I do not, nor would I ever, mourn the actual ghoul himself.”

In another post, she added, “He died like he lived: grotesquely.”

Branden McEuen, a history lecturer at Wayne State University, encouraged others to “quit reading the works of people who think Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the right way, or that he was a decent human being,” saying that “[Kirk] wasn’t either of those things.”

Following Kirk’s passing, President Trump described the Turning Point USA founder as “loved and admired by ALL, especially me.” However, a self-described former University of California, Irvine lecturer, Larry Tenney, retorted on Bluesky: “Hey Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk was NOT loved by all.”

Tenney continued, “WE KNOW WHO CHARLIE KIRK WAS. He built a fortune being an a*****e, saying outrageous s**t & attacking a majority of Americans.” Tenney also reposted a message that said “F**k off America,” “F**k off trump,” and “F**k all you mother f*****s, idgaf about any of you.”

Syracuse University political science assistant professor Jenn M. Jackson referenced Kirk’s support of Second Amendment rights, writing: “Charlie Kirk said it was worth it to have ‘a few’ gun deaths each year so that we can have the Second Amendment. He called those deaths ‘prudent’ and a ‘rational deal.’ Him dying this way seems both ironic and in line with his own politics.”

Fordham School of Law professor John Pfaff criticized Kirk’s Professor Watchlist, which works to “expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.”

The professor alleged that the list is a “threat to academic freedom.”

“Just a reminder: Kirk’s organization established the Professor Watchlist, which even the NYT framed as a threat to academic freedom,” Pfaff wrote.

“I don’t get why ppl keep describing him as [sic] a good-faith debater,” he continued. “One can say ‘Kirk should not have been murdered’ (which is true!) without engaging in hagiography.”

By Thursday, at least two university professors had been fired over comments made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk—one from the University of Mississippi and another from Middle Tennessee State University.

Jenn M. Jackson looks like someone took a poop on her head. My guess is that she/it is most likely another DEI hire. More than likely whites were denied the opportunity for her job because they had to fill a quota with wildebeests.

Professors celebrate shooting on college campus

Agreed. Or another way to put it: A victim's murder is celebrated by the leaders of a dying profession.

Universities are over priced insane asylums. If these psychos didn’t have a gig in academia they’d be homeless crack addicts.

So Martin Pfeiffer is a poofter.

Besides being queers?

“do these marxists seem a tad emotional? Perhaps unbalanced?”

Perhaps demon possessed?

They should all work for the CIA. Assassinations, coups, non-disclosure, and coverups are part and parcel of that alphabet gang.

“Professors”, “University”
What could possible go wrong?? /s
Parents that send little Johnny and/or little Susie to sit under and become endoctrinated by these demons are not only pissing away their money, they’re pissing away their kids’ lives as well.
Instead of becoming productive members of a sane society, Johnny becomes a violent Aunt Teefa member. Susie becomes an AWFUL: Affluent White Female Urban Leftist (lunatic, for short).
Unless it’s a STEM curriculum, trade schools have the so-called “universities” beat on the production of sane members of society.

I think 95 percent of professors are leftist. The conservative student have been taking it in the butt for years. Darn right that Professor Watch is necessary.

In the United States, people are entitled to a trial before a jury of their peeers, with the right to confront their accusers.

We do not shoot people without warning from a rifle hundreds of yards away, in broad daylight, in front of their family and thousands of onlookers.

Now ask any of those celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, if they believe in the Death Penalty.

There’s a name for what they are openly calling form, and have committed, and are celebrating.

Death Squads.

Pray.

Prepare for your own safety.

The blood lust they're openly expressing now is amazing to witness. They're losing politically, and in frustration they rally in glee around the final solution: kill anyone blocking their progress.

A few years ago they "only" wanted to lock up their neighbors (for balking at government health directives). Now, their rallying cry is "death" for those neighbors who might trip up their path to utopia.
