An Oskaloosa High School teacher has been fired following a controversial social media post about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The school board unanimously voted to terminate Matthew Kargol’s contract after he posted “One Nazi Down” on Facebook in response to Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University last Wednesday.
“I don’t believe there is any space for activism outside of caring for your students, newer textbooks, better school lunches. That’s the kind of activism we need to see from teachers, not ‘One Nazi Down,’” said Kyle Almond, an Oskaloosa community member.
Dozens of people were in attendance at the boards special session.
“This is a very unfortunate situation. I think it was a lapse in judgment, but unfortunately, words have consequences,” said James Feudner, another community member.
Kargol requested a closed session, so the meeting was not open for public comment. The board quickly moved into closed session and deliberated for more than an hour before inviting the public back in for the final vote. Superintendent Mike Fisher recommended Kargol’s termination following the post.
“I’m all about free speech, and I think that’s really proven in case law and other areas. But it’s also shown in much of the case law that when you have substantial material disruptions, it raises concern,” said Fisher.
He added that the board moved as quickly as possible while still respecting the rights of everyone involved. When asked whether the district expects a lawsuit following the board’s decision, Fisher said it’s “always a risk.”
Kargol is one of several educators nationwide facing consequences for social media posts celebrating or mocking Kirk’s death.
The Iowa’s Board of Regents has instructed public universities to investigate similar posts made by their employees.
Kargol was not present at the meeting.

"Kargol was not present at the meeting."
Surprise, surprise, a cowardly liberal.
Does he had PIERCED EARS??
Worse - those round things that stretch the earlobe around them.
Yes....I couldn’t think of the name of those HIDEOUS things!!
He can pick lettuce.
L
Takes the entire school board voting to actually fire a teaching promoting murder against those who exercise the 1st amendment aright.
If I so much as disagree impolitely at my job I can be fired at will.
Our American educational system and administration is beyond repair, it all needs burned to the ground and started over, beginning with all teacher unions.
WMT is in Iowa
Leftist idiots are having trouble after they revealed themselves. They’re haters.
Excellent.
They’re called Gauges or Spacers.
What if he said something similar after a school shooting? The Dems have lost their humanity.
Those are called GAUGES. I agree that they look HIDEOUS on ANYONE. (Of course, leftards hit hardest)
A man was publicly executed in front of cameras and his wife and children. Any opinion on that event that is not “What an unspeakable tragedy”...is grounds for removal from society.
The fact that a person could see that event and say, “Good” precludes them not only from teaching my children but from ever being within a mile of them.
And that’s all they have left is irrational hatred, the left.
I agree.
He just had to go there. Liberals are filled with hate all the time. Ironically, just like real nazis.
How long before teachers are required to pass a mental health screening before being allowed near children?
Two ‘gauged’ earrings. Usually, the gauged, or deliberately embedded earrings are worn by Libs, Rastafarians and extreme Vegans.
When/ if they take those gauges (metal circles) out of their ears, the lobes remain flat and floppy, in some folks, the lobes will need to be surgically snipped back into a more normal looking appearance vs a ‘melted’ look.
Gaged.................
The ear stretchers called ‘tribals’. Practiced by fags like him.
