Kaukauna Teacher Put on Leave Over 'Make Americans Great Assassins Again' Post

The case tests how schools respond to staff posts that appear to condone violence.

Overview

  • Patrick Meyer, a Kaukauna High School social studies teacher, was placed on administrative leave Monday after a now-deleted X post that mocked failed presidential assassins.
  • The district said the post was unrelated to school business and reported no evidence of a safety risk to students as it conducts a policy review.
  • A packed school board meeting Monday night drew parents demanding Meyer’s firing and current and former students defending his classroom conduct.
  • BrightPath Bridgetown Child Care Center in Ohio fired daycare teacher Corinne Baum after a video suggested disappointment that President Donald Trump was not harmed.
  • Prosecutors charged Cole Tomas Allen in Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack, a case that prompted the online reactions now triggering workplace discipline.
