The punishment for this should be writing the word “propaganda” on the chalk board 100 times after class.
The Department of Education is receiving criticism after deciding to hang a banner of the late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk outside its building in Washington, D.C.
Pictured alongside Kirk on the building are two pioneers in education: Catharine Beecher, who advocated for women’s education, and Booker T. Washington, who championed educational opportunities for Black Americans. Another nearby banner also reads: “Empowering our states to tell the stories of our heroes in American education.”
The Education Department’s press secretary told HuffPost in a statement Sunday that it is “proud to honor visionary leaders whose contributions have shaped the future of education for generations.”
Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, an organization that promotes conservative ideology, and he traveled across the country to college campuses to debate students. He died in September after he was fatally shot during an event on Utah Valley University’s campus.
