Cancel Culture Boomerangs on the Left as They Wish Trump Assassination Attempt had Been Successful
“Libs of TikTok and other accounts have chronicled the hideous remarks of many others regarding the attempted Trump assassination”
It’s amazing how many people have stupidly put themselves out there saying these outrageous things and not realizing there would be consequences.

Cancel culture comes back to bite the Left amid posts wishing Trump was assassinated
In a perfect world, people like this teacher in the Oklahoma-based Ardmore City Schools district would have the self-control not to post stupid stuff on social media after a U.S. presidential candidate is almost assassinated.
The high school music teacher responded to a Facebook user’s post saying they were going to donate $500 to would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks for “tryin’ to save us,” according to a screenshot obtained by Libs of TikTok.
“Same!” wrote the teacher. “Wish they had a better scope” — followed by an “oh well” emoji.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters subsequently posted on X that the teacher’s comments were “unacceptable” and added: “We will not allow teachers to cheer on violence” against President Trump.
Later the same day Walters posted “I have investigated it enough. I will be taking [the teacher’s] teaching certificate. She will no longer be teaching in Oklahoma.”
As of Friday, the Ardmore school district website had a pop-window notice of a district news release which stated officials had started a “thorough and swift” investigation, and that the district “strongly condemns acts of physical violence and any words that seek to encourage it.”
According to the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, the Ardmore staff “Master Contract” states the “Superintendent and the School Principals will annually remind staff members and orient new staff members concerning the importance of maintaining proper decorum in the on-line, digital world as well as in person.”
Libs of TikTok and other accounts have chronicled the hideous remarks of many others regarding the attempted Trump assassination, including those of other educators. Some, like a fire chief from a town not far from where the shooting occurred, not only apologized profusely but backed it up by resigning.
Again, in a perfect world, people would “pause before [they] post,” as a recent Education Week article put it. (It also noted the travails of two other teachers in addition to the Ardmore case … not to mention that of Superintendent Walters himself who had tweeted “The left, the liberal media, and the radical extremists of Joe Biden’s party tried to assassinate @realDonaldTrump.” Ed Week only attempted to contact Walters for comment, not the teachers.)

A music teacher??? Does that seem anti-intuitive or what! I sometimes wonder how the land of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms could possibly have condoned the violence against its Jews under the Nazis But I may be under estimating the power of compartmentalized thinking. I guess the sensitivity I associate with music appreciation does not lessen the glee of seeing one’s enemies bloodied.
Have you forgotten how almost all of central Asia was conquered and subdued by Chaka Khan?
That likely violates the first amendment. If she were working in an office without public contact firing her would definitely be illegal. As it is they can argue that her effectiveness as a teacher is diminished because her students will know what she wrote and will hold her in contempt, or something. If she chooses to sue she could make it difficult for them.
After BLM riots 3 years ago a number of school districts negotiated a clause in teacher’s employee contracts that banned celebrating violence or condoning it in either school media or personal media.
