Parents at Corvette Junior Public School were shocked last week when they learned that their 10- and 11-year-old children (that's roughly 5th grade age) may have been shown the graphic video of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Yes, the teacher found it appropriate to show the raw, uncensored, unedited footage of a man being murdered to elementary school kids.
Angry parents reached out to the school demanding accountability. The school principal, Jennifer Koptie, sent that letter home to concerned families that described the incident as "extremely disturbing and completely unacceptable."
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.
She confirmed the teacher has been placed on administrative leave, and the Toronto District School Board said it is prioritizing student well-being while the situation is reviewed.
Reports are that the teacher was filling in for a French immersion class when the video was shown, possibly multiple times, and he allegedly commented to students that Kirk "deserved" his fate. Exactly what was said, and how much actually happened in the way students recounted to their parents, remains under investigation.
According to the Toronto Sun, the teacher lauded the assassin and compared Kirk to Nazis.
'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 source claimed.
There are still some unknowns: What prompted the teacher to show this video, how much context was given, and what oversight, if any, was in place.
But it is impossible to conceive of a situation where 10-year olds should ever be shown something of this nature, no less in a "French immersion class." 🤨
