Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point USA, expressed outrage over a Halloween costume incident involving teachers at an Arizona high school. He accused them of mocking the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Despite the school district’s insistence that the costumes were not intended as a political statement, the controversy has stirred emotions.

Kolvet shared a photo on social media platform X, showing eight members of the math department from Cienaga High School in Tucson’s Vail School District. The teachers were dressed in white shirts adorned with dark-red dye stains and the phrase “Problem Solved.” Kolvet claimed concerned parents brought this image to his attention.

“Concerned parents just sent us this image of what’s believed to be teachers in the Vail School District in Tucson, Arizona, mocking Charlie’s murder with costumes that read ‘Problem Solved’ and blood down the left side of their shirts,” Kolvet commented. “They deserve to be famous, and fired.”

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was a prominent figure who often spoke at events supporting conservative values. Tragically, on September 10, Kirk was fatally shot while addressing an audience at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback Tour. The 31-year-old left behind a family, including his wife and child, and his loss has been deeply felt by many.

In a follow-up post, Kolvet shared the district’s official response from Superintendent John Carruth, who said the shirts were part of “math-themed Halloween costumes” and were not referencing any individual or event.

“We understand that a recent social media post showing members of Cienega’s math department wearing shirts that say ‘Problem Solved’ has caused some confusion and concern,” Superintendent John Carruth said in a statement. “The shirts were worn in reference to solving math problems.”

Carruth claimed staff had also worn the shirts last year. He also apologized and said the shirts would not be worn again.

“This is a hard lesson for all of us that more thought and care need to be taken in these times. Please know that lesson has been learned,” Carruth said. “… We also want to express concern that some individuals are being targeted online as a result of this misunderstanding. Personal attacks or threats against staff are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of our community.”

Kolvet, however, questioned the district’s explanation, noting that the red dye appeared only on the left side of the shirts — the same side where Kirk was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University.

“Who’s buying this explanation?” Kolvet questioned.

Neither Cienaga High School nor Carruth immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
