EDITOR'S NOTE: The story has been updated to reflect Seth McCollough's current employment at Auburn.
Seth McCollough, also known as Colana Bleu, a former music teacher at Drake Middle School who was then hired by Auburn University, said Charlie Kirk should “Rest in PISS” after his assassination last week.
The former teacher of Auburn's Drake Middle School, who resigned after receiving backlash from reporting by 1819 News he made about using podcasts to reach his students and others with LGBTQ+ topics, was then hired by Auburn University in 2024 to coach special needs kids. Following 1819 News' story about his hiring, he was then moved to the library, according to a person familiar with the matter.
McCollough was the president of the executive board for Pride on the Plains, the flagship LGBTQ+ pride organization in Auburn, Opelika, and the surrounding communities.
McCollough called Kirk a “vile human.”
McCollough wrote on Facebook, “[I]f you take 3 seconds to google the hateful rhetoric that came out of his mouth no one lgbtq, bipoc, or woman should mourn that man’s death. He only cared about cis white men. You could not pay me to care about that man. Good riddance.”
“His children will hopefully be better people now their dad isn’t around to spew his hateful nonsense,” McCollough said on Facebook. “He literally hated me first and you want me to feel empathy for him when he hated empathy. Said so himself? Stay mad i do not care.”
