Wynne Boliek, a high school teacher in the South Carolina Upstate, has been fired from his position after taking to social media to express his support of conservative activist Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.
“Thoughts and prayers to his children but IMHO America became greater today,” Boliek wrote on Facebook shortly after an assassin’s bullet fatally struck Kirk as he spoke at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Curiously, Boliek was a civics teacher at Southside High School in Greenville County, S.C. prior to making his comments on social media.

Boliek’s depraved take quickly resulted in multiple South Carolina elected officials demanding his termination.
In a letter to the board of Greenville County Schools, state representative Stephen Frank eulogized Kirk and demanded accountability for Boliek.
“Charlie Kirk was a father, son, and political activist that wanted to inform the public,” Frank wrote.

“As an elected representative and as a father, I am appalled by the comments made by Wynne Boliek,” Frank continued, calling for Boliek’s “immediate termination.”
“Parents expect teachers to model civility, respect, and professionalism,” he added. “This behavior falls far below that standard. As a parent, I would not feel comfortable with someone of such low moral integrity teaching my children.”
Frank wasn’t alone in demanding Boliek’s termination. U.S. congresswoman Nancy Mace wrote on X that “no one celebrating the loss of a human life should be allowed anywhere near children.”

Greenville County Schools, we believe you may have some explaining to do.

The district was quick to place Boliek on administrative leave, according to Fox Carolina.
“Mr. Boliek has been placed on administrative leave while we fully investigate and follow the required due process,” the district noted. “We expect all staff members to conduct themselves in a professional manner that best represents our district and schools.”
Hours later the district provided a follow-up statement informing the news outlet Boliek was “no longer employed with Greenville County Schools.”
Frank said he was “pleased” by the district’s decision in a statement provided to FITSNews.
“No teacher should ever use violent rhetoric against someone for their political beliefs,” he said. “It’s unacceptable and disqualifying. Parents expect our classrooms to be places of learning and respect, not hate. I’m pleased with the actions of Greenville County Schools and the outcome of those actions.”

Kirk’s own words are worth reflecting on in the wake of his tragic assassination.
“When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded,” Kirk wrote on X this June. “Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life.”
“It’s going to be ok,” Kirk concluded.
Kirk, 31, is survived by his wife, Erika Kirk, and their two young children.
Authorities continue to seek a person of interest as they investigate Kirk’s murder. As of this writing, that individual has yet to be identified or apprehended. Count on FITSNews for ongoing coverage.

It amazes me that some people who know every post is being watched by their employer still make obvious immediate termination comments.
Where are all these righteous conservative blowhards denouncing the threats to the left from prominent members of Congress including the President, whose droopy face today looked like a stroke victim?
In July Laura Loomer turned on Charlie, this knee-jerk assumption that the trained sniper is a leftist soyboy could very well turn out to be the opposite, a former fan disgruntled like Looney Loomer.
I dunno. Maybe they were too distracted by the Bernie Bro who drove a few hundred miles to a baseball park in metro DC to attempt to murder the entire GOP congressional delegation practicing for a charity baseball game. Ask Steve Scalise about it – he can tell you the whole story.
Or maybe we were too caught up hearing how another leftist travelled across the entire country to stalk and attempt to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Or maybe it was the radical leftist Hamas supporter who attempted to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion with its Jewish Governor inside of it.
Or maybe it was the crazy leftist radical who murdered an engaged Jewish couple at a diplomatic function to show his support for Palestine.
Or maybe it was the 8+ mass murders committed in schools and public markets by gender fluid and/or trans leftists over the last three years.
Or maybe it was two attempts to assassinate Donald Trump by crazy leftists.
It’s kinda hard to find time to denounce “threats” when the commie left to radical right violent crazy person murder ratio is oh, about 20 to 1.
Oh bro, go fuck yourself. You wanna be rolling stone.
What about professor Melvin Earl at Clemson? Why does he still have a job after what he posted.
What platform? Could you possibly re-post it here? Maybe this guy needs to be the first in a long line of commies in publicly funded universities who needs their employment purged. Let the games begin. Actually, that’s not quite accurate. This has been the game of the marxist left for 25+ years. It’s just that now the right, after being led by milquetoast, limp-wristed cucks for years is finally gonna play the game back, with gusto.
This is the problem. You all think this is a game. Literally the stupidest people ever born and now the rest of us have to suffer because your brain doesn’t work. Great.

Squishy, speaking from experience?
