HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A high school math teacher at Lake Norman Charter has been placed on administrative leave following comments made on social media in connection with the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The teacher is currently under investigation by the school. While some online speculated the teacher had been fired, the school’s community relations director clarified that they have not been terminated but are temporarily removed from campus while officials review the situation.

“[The teacher] has been placed on administrative leave pending a complete investigation. This means he will not be with our students, teaching at our school or on our campus grounds,” the school confirmed with Queen City News.

In a statement, Lake Norman Charter said it “unequivocally denounces all acts of violence and expressions of hate speech,” and called the post “diametrically opposed to the values and principles that our school stands for.”

The post came in response to the shocking killing of Charlie Kirk, who was shot during a public appearance at Utah Valley University. The FBI is still searching for the shooter and has released images of a person of interest, along with a $100,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest.

The teacher’s future at the school will be determined after the investigation is complete.
