A Montgomery Capitol Heights Middle School teacher was placed on administrative leave recently after posting a TikTok video mocking the death of conservative political organizer and activist, Charlie Kirk.

Lauren Ogen, a Capitol Heights Middle School teacher, reportedly posted on TikTok that she told her daughter, "down with the bigots," after learning of Kirk's assassination while speaking at a college campus in Utah on Wednesday.

"We need this right now. We really need this right now. As a community, we need this. We need this win," Ogen reportedly said on the video. "When we get home and (my daughter) does in fact confirm that he died, I said, 'I hope it was traumatic and I hope he suffered, the way that we're suffering because of the bigoted bullshit he spoke.' Again, down with the dirty big heads and the bigots."

Montgomery Public Schools superintendent Zickeyous Byrd said in an email obtained by 1819 News to MPS officials on Friday that the video by the Capitol Heights teacher "sparked community concern" and "violated district policy."

"Out of an abundance of caution for both the safety of the teacher and the school community, I am placing the employee on administrative leave effective immediately. Furthermore, I will be recommending this teacher for termination at our next Board meeting," Byrd said. "Please know that this decision was not taken lightly, but the seriousness of the policy violation combined with the safety concerns requires swift action. Our priority must remain on maintaining a professional, respectful, and safe environment for our students, staff, and community."

Hard to imagine how evil so many of these people really are. This woman should never be allowed around children again.

It seems like many, many public school teachers think like this. What can we do to combat this? Are teachers colleges really indoctrination camps?

I should have added a warning that she used offensive language in the the video.

If ever there was justification for a red flag, it is that woman teacher.

She is dangerous to all around her.

I don't even need to look, do I?

Charlie didn’t suffer. It was a kill shot. He was dead before his body hit the ground. It was instant, devastating and effective.

He didn’t suffer.

Other than the nose ring probably not what you would have guessed.

No need to look. Just another White girl with a nose ring.

Home school. Save your children from this type of “educator”.

Leftists cheering for the murder of people they don’t agree with really haven’t thought things through to their logical conclusion, have they?

“Out of an abundance of caution for both the safety of the teacher and the school community, I am placing the employee on administrative leave effective immediately.

From that statement alone, I’d say the minority school superintendent is on her side and she will not be fired......admin leave means hunker down until things cool off and you get your job back.

Nope. Charlie didn’t suffer and he went straight into everlasting paradise.

[bert]

-—— administrative leave -——

Translation: We agree with her but need her out of sight till things cool down.

“Zickeyous Byrd”

No.

Looks like a dude. Wears a nose ring. Tard, Jim.

There needs to be a sweep of every teacher in this nation. We need to find out who is in charge of teaching our children. They need to undergo a psych test, drug/alcohol test and a complete audit of all their social media.

It’s time to root out these pathetic beings. They have started a war.

Lauren Ogen Ogre

Snatch that ring out of your nose you wicked witch.

“Zickeyous Byrd”

Good grief.

SELMA, Ala. (WSFA) - Selma City Schools Superintendent Dr. Zickeyous Byrd has announced his retirement.
Byrd’s last official day with the district will be Sept. 30.

No doubt voted for Jamie (spit) Raskin

We have entered a different world, likely not seen so openly in scores of years.

The outright hate and evil so brazenly displayed is indicative of something much more significant happening to humanity.
