A Milwaukee Public Schools teacher was placed on leave Wednesday for tweeting that he hopes conservative talk show pundit Rush Limbaugh dies a painful death from cancer.
Travis Sarandos, who teaches English at Milwaukee High School of the Arts, has since deleted his Twitter account, @travis_MKE.
Replying to a different tweet expressing hope that Limbaugh would recover and begin advocating for affordable health care, Sarandos wrote: "limbaugh absolutely should have to suffer from cancer. it's awesome that he's dying, and hopefully it is as quick as it is painful."
It drew a small firestorm after conservative radio host Mark Belling blasted the tweet in his blog Tuesday.
MPS initially said in an email to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it was aware of the tweet, but that Sarandos was not speaking on behalf of the district or students or other staff at MPS. Hours later it confirmed he had been placed on leave pending an investigation.

Unbelievable.
Probably paid leave.
What a disgusting thing to say. He Must be for Her -—>
“Hours later it confirmed he had been placed on leave pending an investigation.”
what’s there to investigate? On which phone he tweeted? Utter Bull obama..
Travis Sarandos, who teaches English
= = =
Lets parse this:
Travis ‘Sarandos’
who teaches ‘English’
- - Sorry Folks, he ain’t teaching English, he’s teaching anti-Americanism!
I expected this anyway. Leftards are leftards. I’ll say it again for the millionth time for the past 15 years here...we CANNOT co-exist with libs. One side has to “go” to save the country.
That’s ok, people like him would NEVER teach at the schools that my kids go to - they only teach at ‘those’ schools.
And THANK GOODNESS, otherwise I’d be upset about this.
about 80% chance he’s gay. They can be the nastiest people anywhere, so angry hidden behind a thin veneer of civility.
On leave? Is it PAID leave?
He’ll be back, after several counseling sessions which will urge him to be more discreet in his public comments while secretly slapping him on the back.
You can contact the principal. Be polite, reasoned, measured and kind.

Pathetic. Life has not humbled him yet.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” - Socrates
Paid vacation and no penalty of any kind at the end of the “investigation”. And, I would bet, the investigation is something that is said and not done, if done, they will find nothing wrong. Kind of like when the FBI does an internal investigation of FISA.
Rush Limbaugh doesn’t sit on SCOTUS (looking at you Ruth).
Nothing will happen to him. A suspension with pay is nothing, he’ll be back once it dies down.
Meanwhile they fire any conservative for lesser statements.
I’m surprised. This happened in a state that would elect a diaper head like Omar as a congress critter?
Another filthy leftist teacher who wishes us all dead.
Well, no, it didn’t happen in the state that sent Omar to Congress...
Typical inappropriate liberal “educator”. The bum should be fired and then exiled. How insensitive.
I agree with you sorry to say!
