Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is demanding federal authorities defund schools and school districts that allow teachers and staff who "celebrate" the killing of Charlie Kirk to keep their jobs, she announced Monday.
"We are urging Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to take decisive action to cut off federal funding from any elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educational institution refusing to hold teachers or administrators accountable for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk," Mace wrote on X, sharing a signed letter to United States Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.
"We stand ready to work with Secretary McMahon to ensure taxpayer dollars never fund hate, extremism, or violence inside our schools. We don’t fund hate. We fire it."
Mace also encouraged her constituents in South Carolina to report professors, teachers and public employees to her office.
"Those celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk have no place shaping young minds or living off taxpayer dollars," Mace wrote on X. "If you know of any professor, teacher, or public employee in South Carolina who is excusing or celebrating this violence, contact our office immediately. You want a fight? You’ve got one."
