Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet on Saturday slammed teachers at an Arizona high school for allegedly mocking the death of Charlie Kirk through their Halloween costumes. Meanwhile, the school district insisted that the attire was not a political statement.
Kolvet posted a photo on X showing what appears to be eight teachers from Cienega High School’s math department in the Vail School District in Tucson. The teachers were wearing white shirts splattered with dark-red dye and featuring the phrase “Problem Solved.” According to Kolvet, the image was shared by concerned parents.
“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 stated. “They deserve to be famous, and fired.”

In response, Kolvet shared the district’s official statement from Superintendent John Carruth. The superintendent explained that the shirts were part of “math-themed Halloween costumes” and were not intended to reference 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 Carruth said in a statement. “The shirts were worn in reference to solving math problems.”
Carruth also mentioned that staff had worn similar shirts last year. He apologized for the misunderstanding and assured that 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 added. “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 Questions District’s Explanation
Despite the district’s statement, Kolvet questioned the explanation, pointing out 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 asked.
