(Westville, IN) - A teacher at Westville School is no longer employed there following derogatory remarks she allegedly made on social media about Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was assassinated on Wednesday.

 

In a letter to parents today, Superintendent Brian Ton said the investigation of the matter has concluded and the teacher in question is no longer employed with the Metropolitan School District of New Durham Township.

 

“The message shared by the former employee does not align with our values and the standards we hold for our staff,” he stated in the letter.

 

He added “as a school community, we strongly condemn such statements.”

 

“We remain committed to upholding professionalism, respect and the values that ensure a safe and supportive environment for our students, families, colleagues and community,” he said.

 

The name of the teacher and what was posted were not disclosed.

 

Kirk, 31, left behind a wife and two children after dying from a gunshot to the neck during a presentation at a college in Utah.  A suspect is now in custody.
