A former Chesterfield County employee and her lawyer are claiming she was unlawfully fired for condemning Charlie Kirk on social media after his death.
If you aren’t in a school and aren’t responsible for kids you’ll never get it.
The case is unrelated to the resignation of Chesterfield School Board member Dot Heffron , who also made social media comments after Kirk’s death.
Hartman-Hall is one of many individuals nationwide whose employment was terminated following public comments made about Charlie Kirk’s death in September 2025 — many of whom are now suing.
There have been recent victories via settlement for employees who were fired in the wake of Kirk’s death, including in the education space.
