The University of Kansas has decided not to take any disciplinary action against a female employee for speaking negatively about the deceased conservative Charlie Kirk. The employee said that Kirk is "better in the ground as word food." On September 17, a spokesperson for the university, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, stated in an official email that they will not discipline or fire an employee for their personal opinions. These comments came after KU Student Access Center employee Brianna Lichtenauer Wasser's post about Kirk went viral following his murder. The statement said:"The university is aware of the post, which an employee made on a personal social media account using a personal computer on personal time. The post was made not in their capacity as a KU employee, but rather as a private citizen, meaning there is no violation of any university policy."In viral screenshots of her post, KU employee Brianna Lichtenauer Wasser criticized Charlie Kirk, writing that he is "better in the ground as worm food than up here preaching that murdered children are a necessary sacrifice for 2A rights." Libs of TikTok, a X account, shared the post on September 12, which went viral online. It reached over 615K views this week.Multiple netizens and other Republican leaders called for action from KU, claiming that Wasser should be fired for her post.

Since her post faced backlash, she did not respond to any requests for comments and has deleted her LinkedIn profile.School board employee from Kansas fired after posting that Charlie Kirk's killing was "well-deserved"2024 Republican National Convention: Day 1 - Source: GettySince Charlie Kirk's death, there have been repercussions for posts making negative comments about his murder. Katie Allen, a Kansas school board member, was fired after she called Kirk's death "well-deserved" online. Allen used to work with the Kansas State Department of Education as a research analyst but has since lost her job. Following backlash over her comments about Charlie Kirk last week, Katie Allen apologized for her comments in a statement to The Mercury. She said:"For anyone who was offended by my words, I deeply apologize. That is not who I am or what I believe, which is why I deleted that comment so fast."After her post gained attention, Republican leader and Senate President Ty Masterson publicly criticized Allen's comments and called for her firing. Masterson has also spoken out against Brianna Lichtenauer Wasser's comments about Charlie Kirk. In an X post dated September 15, he wrote:"Her statement is beyond unacceptable and a clear violation of our state’s social media policy for university employees. The hateful comments spewed by numerous individuals involved in our education system are an indictment of a disturbing and extreme ideology that has taken over our campuses and classrooms."Businessman Phillip Sarnecki also called for Wasser to be fired over her comments about Charlie Kirk. He wrote an open letter to KU Chancellor Douglas A Girod, which said:"You owe Kansas answers for this horrific celebration of a political assassination."Wasser's post seemingly referenced Kirk's controversial comments on US gun laws. At a 2023 Turning Point USA event, Kirk stated that the Second Amendment is necessary for defending against a "tyrannical government." At that time, the Democratic Party was in power in the US. Charlie Kirk also suggested that some gun violence is necessary to protect citizens' rights and the benefits of gun ownership."I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights," he said.Kirk was shot and killed with a single bullet to the neck during an open-air event organized by Turning Point USA at Utah Valley University. His funeral is set to take place in his hometown of Arizona on September 21, 2025.
