Junior High Dance Goes Viral Amid Controversy | Salt Lake City News

Four junior high girls from the Davis School District sparked outrage after posting a video where they mimic a fictional assassination of Charlie Kirk, complete with a gunshot and dramatic “death” scene—only to dance back up. The video, posted near the anniversary of the real-life assassination, drew swift condemnation from the district, which called it a “concerning lack of seriousness and sensitivity.” Though students later removed the video and the district condemned any celebration of harm, the incident ignited debate: should teens be held accountable for online expression—even if unintentional? Voices like Britny Nelson and Marilyn Kraczek highlight the emotional toll and kids’ limited understanding of consequences, while urging respect and kindness as non-negotiable values. It’s a sobering reminder that digital actions ripple far beyond the screen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
