UCLA DEI Chief Finds Out the Hard Way That

We noticed how some deranged, sick leftists celebrated the homicide of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie after his brutal assassination in September 2025. It’s one factor to oppose somebody’s viewpoints; it’s another to take pleasure in their killing.

One of the worst of the lot was UCLA DEI chief Jonathan Perkins, and he just discovered that his demented views are an excessive amount of for even the directors of that woke establishment. He has no regard for the sanctity of human life, but evidently, we’re supposed to cry over his pets:

UCLA finally fired its DEI chief months after the woke administrator publicly celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — but now he’s begging for donations to help with his pets.

Jonathan Perkins, UCLA’s director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, was finally given the ax in a letter on Friday after he gushed he was “glad” about the vicious homicide of the Turning Point USA founder.

“Given the nature of your role as a Director of Race and Equity, the university has determined that this conduct significantly undermined trust in your leadership and adversely affected the office’s effectiveness and credibility,” the college told him in a termination letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

“It is OKAY to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people’s death dies — even if they are murdered,” he wrote on the social media app Bluesky. “Good riddance,” he added. “I’m always glad when bigots die.”

Disgusting.

It looks like this creep has a historical past of stirring issues up:

Johnathan Perkins, @UCLA‘s DEI director, claimed in 2011 that he was a sufferer of a hate crime at UVA. He later admitted it was hoax when he was threatened with being charged for making a false assertion to law enforcement. After ready for the statute of limitations to cross, he… https://t.co/sCWQbAvdTk pic.twitter.com/F4oyoDmVt7

After ready for the statute of limitations to cross, he recanted his hoax admission. He not too long ago celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination and had also wished death upon Justice Clarence Thomas. 

Perkins makes me ashamed to be a UCLA alumnus.

UCLA Director of Race and Equity, Jonathan Perkins, is under fire for expressing his hope that Justice Clarence Thomas would die. Ironically, Perkins’ workplace has long maintained anti-free speech positions to justify censorship and speech codes. https://t.co/Q0zOzaRLEt

Of course, Perkins, being the saint of a man he seems to be, will take the matter to the courts:

His last day on the payroll for the $137,000-a-year gig was Jan. 30, according to the letter. It’s not clear what took the college so long to make its dedication.

Perkins intends to file a lawsuit difficult his dismissal, claiming he was exercising his proper to free speech when he made the feedback on social media in the instant aftermath of the killing on Sept. 10, 2025.

Maybe he was exercising his proper to free speech — but that doesn’t imply UCLA has to pay him for his vitriol. The college, a public establishment that is an element of the once-revered University of California system, not often will get issues proper these days, but they did right here.

Bon voyage, Jonathan; good luck in discovering another outlet for your hate.
