GRAND LEDGE, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The superintendent of an Eaton County school district will not fire a teacher who made a post about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Tensions ran high at the Grand Ledge school board meeting on Monday night, but ultimately Superintendent Bill Barnes said high school teacher Dave Logel will remain on staff.

Logel made a post on Sept. 10, the day an assassin shot Kirk in the neck at a Utah Valley University event. The outspoken Christian, conservative, husband, and father was laid to rest last week. Logel quoted words of Kirk regarding gun rights and the Second Amendment, then said “If you posted about the death of a fascist, not about the death of children in a school shooting, please unfollow me. Thank you.”

Contrary to Logel’s post, a sixteen-year-old gunman critically wounded two classmates that day before fatally shooting himself.

“My interpretation of the board policies, handbooks, collective agreements, and applicable laws is that they do not prohibit teachers from exercising their First Amendment rights,” Barnes said.

Logel also serves on the Grand Ledge City Council.
