As leftist Americans become more brazen in their calls for violence against political rivals, there has been an alarming number of educators who have openly advocated for President Donald Trump’s assassination.
After the latest failed attempt to kill Trump, Wisconsin teacher Patrick Meyer expressed frustration with the fact that the gunman was no successful
According to Fox News:
In a since-deleted post on X last month, Meyer wrote, “I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins. It’s f—ing embarrassing! Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!”
ADVERTISEMENTMeyer’s social media post came after the April 25 shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where he suggested that previous presidential assassins would be disappointed in Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged shooter.
The Kaukauna Area School District announced in an April 27 Facebook post that Meyer had been placed on leave.
“The Kaukauna Area School District has been made aware of a situation involving an employee’s social media post,” the school district said in the Facebook 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 alarming rhetoric, particularly from a teacher, was roundly rebuked by social media users:
Who’s vetting the teachers who are behind closed doors with your children 8 hours a day?
It’s becoming scarier by the day!

“Leave” isn’t good enough. That kind of hate should not be around children, let alone teaching them!

And here’s another recent example of similarly reprehensible rhetoric from someone with daily influence on the next generation:
🚨 JUST IN: Radical leftist pre-K teacher Corinne Baum has been OFFICIALLY FIRED from BrightPath Bridgetown Child Care Center in Ohio after she publicly lamented that President Trump survived an assassination attempt — saying she woke up disappointed it wasn’t “THAT news.”

Meyer was ultimately fired … but the decision wasn’t quick or unanimous, as WLUK reported:
The Kaukauna Area School District Board of Education voted 6-1 to fire high school social studies teacher Patrick Meyer. The decision came after more than nine hours of discussion — the vast majority of it in closed session.
In their reasoning, the district stated, “Mr. Meyer’s social media post created actual material disruption to district and school operations.”
Charles West was the lone board member to vote against Meyer’s termination.
“The First Amendment is really important to me. I think we really probably should support that first one,” said West. “I do understand all the concerns from parents. I am a parent of two high school students, very soon. I think that First Amendment is super important.”
