"“We deeply regret that students, employees, and the community were impacted by her comments. Greenlee's behavior is not consistent with the college's values and mission to serve Guilford County. Her statement regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk does not support the open and respectful learning and working environment that GTCC provides every day,” GTCC president Anthony Clarke said in a statement. “We want to reiterate that supporting violence is reprehensible and will not be tolerated at the college.”"
""I'll praise the shooter; he had good aim.""
At least five college faculty and staff members have been fired for comments made after the shooting death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Investigators arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and he is being held without bail after a family friend reported that he suggested to a relative that he'd killed Kirk. Robinson is not a Utah Valley student; he is a third-year electrical apprenticeship student at Dixie Technical College and attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021. Guilford Technical Community College removed a part-time instructor after she praised the shooter in an online class and a video of her remarks circulated on X, prompting calls for her firing. GTCC leadership said supporting violence is reprehensible and will not be tolerated.
