Multiple Houston-area employees under fire for social media comments on Charlie Kirk’s death

Several school districts in the Houston area have launched investigations after reports of current or former employees making insensitive comments about political activist Charlie Kirk’s death on their personal social media accounts.  Many of the posts, which have been shared in social media groups and by state lawmakers, have been taken down or hidden on social media accounts since being shared.  “For the vast majority of employees, if your employer doesn’t like what you post, they can discipline you up to and including termination,” said Ryan Nelson, an employment law professor at South Texas College of Law Houston.
