From Breitbart: Matthew Kargol, a teacher at Oskaloosa High School in Oskaloosa, Iowa, has been fired after celebrating the horrific assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk by posting “1 Nazi down” on social media.
The Oskaloosa school board voted unanimously last week to terminate Kargol, who taught art at the high school, after he posted the hateful rhetoric to social media, according to a report by KCRG.
“I’m not a person on social media. But many people are and they were sharing screenshots and our comms director, he was all over it, and we were seeing all the traffic and the things that were going on. So we knew we had to get involved,” Oskaloosa School Superintendent Mike Fisher — who recommended Kargol’s firing — said.
On September 11, one day after Kirk’s murder, Fisher told KCCI that Kargol’s behavior on social media caused “disruption” at the school.
The school district said it received over 1,200 phone calls from furious community members.
According to a report by ABC 7, the fired teacher has already turned around and filed a lawsuit against the school, claiming his free speech rights were violated.
Kargol argues in his lawsuit that his Facebook post was not made in the classroom or during working hours, did not threaten anyone or incite imminent unlawful action and was not directed at anyone in the school community.
Kargol made the vile post on September 10, just hours after Kirk was killed.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) spoke out against the post the same day.
“I’m disturbed by a post from an Oskaloosa teacher celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk and calling him a Nazi. Cheering political violence is always wrong – and should NEVER be done by those who educate our children. I will be contacting the superintendent and principal first thing in the morning to ensure this is addressed immediately,” she wrote.
