EXCLUSIVE: FAU professor placed on leave over Charlie Kirk posts breaks silence
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — In her first TV interview since being placed on administrative leave, FAU Professor Dr. Karen Leader is breaking her silence — in an exclusive sit down with WPTV’s Michael Hoffman.
Leader was the first FAU professor to face backlash for sharing posts on X after the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Since then, two other professors at the school have also been put on leave for their social media posts in the wake of Kirk’s assassination.
Dr. Leader, an associate professor of art history, confirmed to Hoffman she was the professor referenced in the university’s announcement. The school said in part, “Our focus remains on our academic community’s responsibility to promote civil discourse, conduct healthy debate, and treat one another with respect.”
“I wanted to have a chance to speak to my community and have them see what I'm trying to say,” Leader said.
Leader said she has received death threats and had her home and work addresses leaked online. She told Hoffman this was the first time she left her home in nearly a week.
