A Florida school board member called Charlie Kirk an “uneducated white boy” and expressed fury that he was being honored by millions of conservatives across the nation.
Screenshots appeared to show Alachua County School Board (ACSB) Vice Chair Tina Certain post about the event on Facebook.
“I didn’t watch any of that Drump rally! I went to see an elder bcs the weight of it all – how a 31yr old uneducated white boy has been glorified,” wrote Tina Certain on Facebook.
Certain is the vice chair of the Alachua County School Board. She is also black and many are condemning the racially-charged nature of her post.
“He has a organization bcs a millionaire gave him money & connections to start it. To see the feds & state elevate him angers me. It is heavy but I know I can stay home,” Certain continued. “Gotta fight despite being tired of it all.”
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) accused the black school board member of “teaching a master class in hate.”
“Instead of prioritizing our children, the Alachua County School board members seem to be teaching a master class in hate,” Cammack wrote on social media. “I wonder what the parents of the ‘white boys’ you are supposed to represent think of your deplorable comments — comments, I should add, that you made about a memorial service of a murdered husband and father, which you called a ‘Drump rally.'”
Certain defended her racist rhetoric in a statement to The Gainesville Sun.
“While my personal Facebook comment was poorly worded it does not change the reality of his rhetoric. Charlie Kirk repeatedly insulted and attacked educated women, specifically Black women. His rhetoric was intended to demean through racism,” she told the newspaper.
To the contrary, Kirk was a staunch supporter of minorities — especially within the black community. He strongly opposed DEI policies and Affirmative Action. Instead, he believed Americans should be judged on abilities, not skin color.
To that point, Turning Point USA powered Blexit — the nation’s largest movement of minorities to leave the failed policies of the Democrat Party.
On the other hand, the Democrat Party powered the creation of the Ku Klux Klan – something the DNC has yet to apologize for.
The Florida Board of Education announced they plan to monitor the Alachua County School Board for the remainder of the year.
“I quite frankly am of the opinion that somebody who would write that and post that on Facebook doesn’t belong on a state board, or of any district in the state,” chair Ryan Petty said. “That’s irresponsible — I think we’ve had enough.”
