Here’s what I’ve noticed: something rotten has taken root in the heart of American institutions. What was once unthinkable—celebrating another human being’s death purely over political differences—has become commonplace among those entrusted with shaping young minds. The mask has slipped so far that basic human decency now feels like a relic of a bygone era.
Our education system has become ground zero for this cultural decay. Parents across the nation are discovering that the very people they’ve entrusted with their children’s futures harbor deep-seated contempt for traditional American values. The latest example from Florida reveals just how far this takeover of our schools has spread.
When wrestling legend Hulk Hogan passed away last Thursday from cardiac arrest, most Americans mourned the loss of an entertainment icon who brought joy to millions. But Sarah Rockwell, chair of the Alachua County School Board, saw only cause for celebration.
From Fox News:
Florida county school board chair Sarah Rockwell apologized for Facebook comments celebrating legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan’s death on Thursday as “one less MAGA” in the world.
“Oh did Hulk die? I didn’t even know. Good. One less MAGA in the world,” Rockwell’s since-deleted comment read.
In a follow-up comment, Rockwell added, “[H]e worked with the McMahons to union bust professional wrestling. [H]e’s never been a good guy. I feel absolutely nothing about his death.”
You read that right. Her callous response wasn’t a momentary lapse in judgment. Rockwell doubled down, adding that Hogan “worked with the McMahons to union bust professional wrestling” and declaring, “He’s never been a good guy. I feel absolutely nothing about his death.”
When Educators Celebrate Death
Let me get this straight. This woman holds authority over thousands of students and families in Alachua County. School board ethical standards require members to “value the worth and dignity of every person”—words that ring hollow when measured against Rockwell’s celebration of death. The Alachua County Republican Party rightfully accused her of having “stomped on a man’s grave over politics.”
Only after facing intense public backlash did Rockwell delete her comments and issue a carefully crafted apology. She claimed she “never will wish harm on anyone” despite literally celebrating someone’s demise days earlier. Sound familiar?
A Pattern of Hatred
Here’s the thing—this isn’t an isolated incident. From Kentucky school officials calling to “shoot Republicans” to Iowa board members declaring public education isn’t meant to teach “what parents want,” a disturbing pattern emerges. These aren’t random citizens venting on social media. They’re education officials wielding power over conservative families’ children.
The hatred runs so deep that basic human decency gets tossed aside the moment politics enters the picture. When did mourning the dead become a partisan issue?
The Real Hulk Hogan
The man Rockwell celebrated losing was an American success story who embodied patriotic values. At last year’s Republican National Convention, Hogan proudly ripped off his shirt to reveal a “Trump Vance Make America Great Again” tank top. He used his platform to champion traditional American principles that this conservative Christian believed in.
President Trump remembered his “great friend” as “strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.” Get this—the fact that such patriotic displays trigger hatred from school board chairs reveals everything about the planned attack on our educational institutions.
When educators celebrate death over political differences, parents must ask themselves: what values are really being taught in our classrooms? The answer should terrify every conservative family in America.

- School board chair celebrated Hulk Hogan’s death as “one less MAGA”
