Social Media Post Draws Controversy

By Brian Hagen

01/07/2016

(KAIR)--Officials with the South Brown County Schools are aware of a controversial social media post apparently made by a teacher in the district.

USD 430 Superintendent Dr. Steve Davies tells MSC News the post has been brought to his attention and the matter is under review. However, he can not make any additional comment at this time, based on in it being a personnel issue.

The post was brought to the attention of MSC News by a concerned school district patron.

It includes a vulgarity-laced tirade in support of President Barack Obama's announcement this week of executive actions regarding gun violence.

The social media post, taking to task those who don't support the President's plans, implies that those who are “lying about the President's executive order” are the reason why "mass murders occur and children are being shot and killed."

The post closes by saying they are "the ones who deserve" to have their children, sibling, or spouse, shot.

MSC News has made the decision to withhold the teacher's name until any formal action is taken by the school district.

The next meeting of the USD 430 Board of Education is planned for Monday evening in Horton.

The redacted post is below:

Name this educator... If the parents of students in this district knew just how radical the views of this educator are, theyd call for their removal. Everyone knows that when the presidents lips are moving hes lying.

Evidently people have forgotten about the freedom of speech amendment. Although I dont think that it was wise for this person to comment this way, I do defend their right to speak their mind as afforded all of us by the constitution. Radical views? I guess only if they dont agree with your own, based on Rush Limbaughs litany of misinformation.

This person is disturbed and could lead to violence! For everyones safety the police should be notified and he be released from his contact.

@thetruth, Yes she has freedom of speech, but no freedom from the results of her free speech. Anyone who calls for the killing of others should NOT be teaching our children. If she wants to violate my 2nd amendment right, its only fair that I get to violate one of hers, being women want to be equal to men and all. Id choose to remove her right to vote.

This is a GOOD teacher who voiced her personal opinion, obviously frustrated, with the lack of facts in the conversations surrounding gun control. Facts are NOT something FOX news contributes to ANY topic,everyone should stop getting their opinions from FOX. The last sentence in the post should not have been expressed. Innocent children should not be held accountable for the uninformed opinions of parents.
