ROSEMOUNT, MN — A teacher in the south Twin Cities metro is on leave after an alleged Twitter post Saturday about killing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Intermediate School District 917 is investigating the incident.
UPDATE: Rosemount Teacher Resigns Over ‘Kill Kavanaugh?’ Tweet: Report
“So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh?” the post read, according to the Star Tribune. The Twitter account involved is now deleted.
The teacher is listed as an employee of the Alliance Education Center, the Star Tribune reported. The FBI said it is aware of the post.
“Over the weekend, the district has received a complaint regarding an employee,” superintendent Mark Zuzek said in a statement.
“The employee has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Pursuant with the data practices act, we are limited to providing additional information regarding this matter.”
The United State Senate voted 50-48 to confirm Kavanaugh Saturday. The vote ended a months-long confirmation process that culminated in a national debate about sexual assault.
Despite accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, the GOP-controlled Senate had the votes to confirm the judge, filling the seat left behind by Anthony Kennedy.
