A high school teacher from Wisconsin has been put on leave after sharing an offensive post on social media about the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life during the White House Correspondents’ dinner last weekend.

Republican Congressman Tony Wied of Wisconsinposted a screen shoton Facebook of the now-deleted X post, from Kaukauna High School social studies teacher Patrick Meyer.

“I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins,” Meyer’s post read,accordingto WLUK-TV. “It’s [expletive] embarrassing! Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!”

The Kaukauna Area School District released a statement Monday in response to the post, which read:

“The Kaukauna Area School District has been made aware of a situation involving an employee’s social media post. The District has placed the employee on administrative leave and is taking additional action to review the matter in accordance with its policies and procedures.

“The Kaukauna Area School District is committed to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all students, families, and staff, and unequivocally rejects any conduct, expression, or behavior that may encourage, condone, or promote violence in any form,” the statement concluded.

WLUK requested interviews with school leadership and members of the school board, but were denied. The outlet also emailed Meyer asking about the post and what kind of example it sets for his students, but he did not reply.

At a Monday night school board meeting, parents rightfully stood up to speak out against Meyer.

“His comment was, ‘Make assassinations great again.’ What does this teach our kids? ‘If you disagree with someone, we should just kill them.’ Right?” Jennifer Schaefer said.

“P. Meyer’s comment was totally unacceptable,” said Naomi Dvorachek. “As a parent of Kaukauna graduates, I don’t care how good of a teacher that they thought he was or anybody here thinks he is. It’s totally unacceptable to make that type of comment.”
