Cobb County School Superintendent Chris Ragsdale said teachers should never be the "cheerleaders" for a school shooter as he addressed the suspension of some educators over their comments about Charlie Kirk's murder.
The school system said Monday it had placed some teachers on administrative leave over their comments but did not specify how many. Ragsdale said two teachers were no longer employed with Cobb County schools but did not say if they were fired or if they resigned.
Ragsdale called Kirk's murder on Sept. 10 on the Utah Valley University campus a "school shooting." Some educators "intentionally and publicly celebrated and condoned his murder on social media," he said.
