Celebratory, dismissive reactions to Charlie Kirk’s death putting educators under scrutiny

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, some on the left — many in the education sphere — have come out dismissing or even celebrating his death as a way of disputing his conservative political views.
While some have hailed Kirk as a champion of free expression, numerous teachers and educators have faced suspension or scrutiny for online comments appearing to mock or cheer his death, bringing to the fore questions about political bias inside America’s classrooms.
House Education and Workforce Chairman Tim Walberg, R-Mich., told Fox News Digital too many students are being «indoctrinated to hate those they disagree with instead of thoughtfully engaging with peers to discuss differences.»

«We should not teach kids what to think, but how to think,» he said.
In a statement, Senate Health Education Labor & Pensions Committee chairman Bill Cassidy, R-La., said there is a «clear lesson» over educators and others losing jobs for «vile» public comments about Charlie Kirk.
«If your first reaction to a hate-fueled assassination is more hatred, ask yourself if you should put your phone down. Cruelty in response to tragedy only serves to divide us further,» Cassidy said.

The House panel further provided Fox News Digital with a separate statement mourning Kirk as a «true champion of free speech» and highlighting the importance of «honest and productive debate» versus politicized censorship.
«Charlie inspired thousands of students to speak their minds, ask difficult questions, and engage in meaningful conversations — regardless of political affiliation,» Walberg said.
Kirk helped students feel empowered to express their beliefs without fear, he said, and reminded the next generation of the importance of «intellectual diversity.»
However, many educators across the country do not share Walberg’s view, as cases of teachers being suspended or scrutinized for their own reactions come to light.

In Massachusetts, at least three different school districts reported teachers being put under investigation for public reactions to Kirk’s murder.
In Framingham, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, Superintendent Robert Tremblay confirmed to the city’s Fox affiliate that «while the law prevents us from discussing specific personnel matters, the employee is on leave pending an internal review. Be assured that we are addressing the situation in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies.»

Teachers in another Boston suburb, Sharon, Massachusetts, as well as the Wachusett Regional School District near Worcester, also were scrutinized, according to the Fox affiliate.
Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas warned his office is now on the lookout for more such inappropriate reactions to Kirk’s murder, after a teacher in the state allegedly posted that while the 31-year-old’s obituary was not the one she hoped to wake up to, it was a close second to an unstated one. Online chatter alleged the inference was a swipe at President Donald Trump.
«Teachers are held to a higher standard as public servants and must ensure their conduct does not undermine the trust of the students and families they serve,» Kamoutsas said in a statement first reported by Politico. «We will hold teachers who choose to make disgusting comments about the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk accountable.»

To the north, South Carolina also has seen teachers react insensitively to Kirk’s murder.
A teacher in Greenville, South Carolina, was «no longer employed» as of Thursday after the district confirmed to local media that he posted on social media that «American became greater today. There I said it.»
In Pennsylvania, a teacher in Lancaster City came under scrutiny after also reportedly posting widely condemned comments about Kirk.
A post on social media called Kirk a «racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece,» and was allegedly shared by the teacher.
It also criticized Kirk for «normalizing Trumpism for years – the man stood for nothing but hate. I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that,» which led the district to issue a statement to Lancaster newspaper LNP.

«We are aware of the reaction to an online post shared by one of our employees on a personal social media platform,» the statement said. «The School District of Lancaster abhors violence of any kind and is committed to schools that are safe, inclusive, and welcoming to all in our community.»
A teachers union official in the Keystone State went on to tell the paper that violence and threats of violence are the opposite of «everything we as educators commit our lives and careers to.»
«Political violence jeopardizes our democracy and deepens the fear, hatred and division that too often dominates over national discourse,» PSEA spokesperson Christopher Lilienthal said.

Trump says Dems who told military to defy illegal orders committed ‘sedition at the highest level’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Saturday purported that Democrats who urged the military to defy illegal orders engaged in «sedition at the highest level» and «should be in jail right now.»
This comes after one of the lawmakers who appeared in the video calling on troops to ignore unlawful orders, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump argued that the «traitors» who appeared in the video «should be in jail right now, not roaming the fake news networks trying to explain what they said was OK.»
«It wasn’t, and never will be!» he claimed. «It was sedition at the highest level, and sedition is a major crime. There can be no other interpretation of what they said!»

Trump initially responded to the video message by saying, «SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!» He also shared a post from another account that said, «Hang them George Washington would.»
The White House and the president himself later attempted to walk back his comments, saying he did not wish to execute the Democrat lawmakers.
In another post on Saturday, Trump alleged that «many great legal scholars» agree with his position that «the Democrat traitors that told the military to disobey my orders, as president, have committed a crime of serious proportion!»
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Defense Department, shared the video on Tuesday of herself and other Democrat lawmakers who formerly served in the military and intelligence community encouraging troops and members of the intelligence community to ignore illegal orders from officials.
«This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,» the lawmakers said. «Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.»

Other lawmakers in the video included Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, as well as Reps. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.
Trump administration officials and other Republicans criticized the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.
Slotkin’s office said on Friday that police responded to her Michigan home following a bomb threat, but that she was not home at the time.
U.S. Capitol Police told her that she would have security at all hours of the day.
«We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house,» she told MS Now. «It changes things immediately. And leadership climate is set from the top. And if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.»

«What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,» they said in a joint statement on Thursday.
«In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated,» the statement added.

¿Es malo hacer ejercicio antes de dormir?: esto responden los expertos

En los últimos años, varios estudios de gran escala han concluido que el ejercicio nocturno probablemente no interfiere con el sueño, mientras que otros siguen encontrando una relación negativa en ciertos contextos.

Consultamos a expertos en sueño y ejercicio para que explicaran qué dice la evidencia sobre entrenar por la noche y cómo eso puede afectar el descanso, y para que compartieran las mejores prácticas para que una rutina antes de dormir funcione a tu favor.
Un ejercicio de intensidad moderada suele ser adecuado
Las investigaciones han demostrado de forma consistente que las rutinas de intensidad baja o moderada antes de dormir no perjudican el sueño, e incluso pueden favorecer un sueño más profundo.
Salir por la noche a caminar, un trote ligero o un paseo tranquilo en bicicleta –o realizar cualquier actividad que no eleve demasiado la frecuencia cardíaca– puede ayudar a reducir el estrés y liberar hormonas que generen bienestar, explicó Christopher Tanayan, cardiólogo deportivo de Northwell Health, en Nueva York. Agregó que el yoga y los estiramientos también pueden fomentar la atención plena, lo que prepara al cuerpo para el descanso.
Sin embargo, incluso algo bueno puede ser demasiado: algunas evidencias sugieren que realizar un entrenamiento de intensidad moderada extremadamente largo –por ejemplo, una carrera de tres horas– por la noche puede dificultar conciliar el sueño y afectar negativamente su calidad, dijo Josh Leota, investigador del sueño y autor principal de un estudio de 2025 que exploró la relación entre la actividad intensa en la noche y los hábitos de sueño.
Para el ejercicio de alta intensidad, la hora sí importa
Para los entrenamientos extenuantes, la evidencia es más contradictoria. Algunos estudios han encontrado que realizar una rutina de alta intensidad poco antes de acostarse tiene pocos efectos negativos sobre el sueño, pero otros sugieren que puede dificultar conciliarlo y mantenerlo.
Muchos expertos creen que los posibles efectos negativos se deben a los cambios fisiológicos que ocurren durante y después del esfuerzo prolongado. En particular, el ejercicio vigoroso eleva la temperatura corporal central, a menudo durante varias horas después de terminar la sesión. Además, el estrés físico activa el sistema nervioso simpático –conocido como la respuesta de “lucha o huida”–, que libera hormonas del estrés, explicó Tanayan.

Ambas respuestas pueden interferir con el ciclo del sueño. “Si tu temperatura corporal central permanece elevada, eso de hecho le dice a tu cuerpo que aún no es hora de dormir”, agregó. Aunque esto es especialmente cierto en los entrenamientos aeróbicos intensos, también puede pasar con el levantamiento de pesas o con cualquier rutina que someta al cuerpo a un esfuerzo continuo.
“Si el ejercicio es demasiado extenuante, aunque produzca beneficios psicológicos realmente positivos”, puede dejar tu cuerpo en un estado de exaltación que no favorece el sueño, dijo Leota, y agregó: “Es un equilibrio delicado”.
Pero la hora en que se realizan los entrenamientos nocturnos de alta intensidad puede marcar una gran diferencia. Si te gusta ejercitarte con intensidad por la noche y tienes cierta flexibilidad de horarios, procura ir al gimnasio al menos tres horas antes de acostarte, dijo Leota. Ese margen le dará al cuerpo el tiempo necesario para volver a su estado de reposo, señalaron los expertos.
Tal vez tengas que experimentar para encontrar la rutina nocturna que mejor te funcione
Si solo puedes hacer ejercicio por la noche, es mejor entrenar a esa hora que no hacerlo en absoluto, señalaron los expertos. También recordaron que la fisiología y la respuesta al ejercicio nocturno varían ligeramente en cada persona.
Averiguar qué es lo mejor para ti puede requerir algo de ensayo y error, dijo Michael Gradisar, psicólogo clínico y coautor de un estudio de 2021 sobre la actividad física nocturna y el sueño. No te limites a probar una sola vez un determinado régimen de ejercicio nocturno antes de decidir si te funciona, añadió, sino que “repítela una y otra vez”, prestando atención a cómo te sientes durante el día y a lo largo de la semana siguiente.
Si prefieres realizar entrenamientos intensos por la noche, la rutina adecuada podría implicar incluso elegir una o dos noches a la semana en las que duermas un poco menos para poder incluir ese ejercicio de alta intensidad, señaló Matthew Badgett, especialista en medicina del estilo de vida e integral en la Clínica Cleveland.

En algunas personas, las decisiones que toman en torno a sus entrenamientos –como el lugar donde hacen ejercicio o la forma en que se alimentan antes y después– son las que interfieren con su descanso, explicó Jingyi Qian, investigadora del sueño en Mass General Brigham.
Sea cual sea el tipo o la intensidad del ejercicio que elijas, evita entrenar en un espacio muy iluminado cerca de la hora de dormir, ya que esto puede retrasar tu reloj interno del sueño, explicó Qian. También recomendó evitar las bebidas deportivas con cafeína y las comidas tardías, ya que ambas pueden afectar negativamente el sueño.
“Lo más importante es que no te desanimes a hacer ejercicio si solo puedes hacerlo por la noche”, dijo Qian. “Con un poco de autodiagnóstico y buenos hábitos de sueño, puedes encontrar una rutina que favorezca tanto la forma física como el sueño”.
