PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Cornelius City Councilor John Colgan is under criticism for a post he made about Charlie Kirk’s death on Facebook.
“Hearing that Charlie Kirk got shot and died really brightened up my day,” Colgan said in the post. “Nobody deserves it, but some are asking for it.”
Colgan is also a science teacher at Neil Armstrong Middle School in Forest Grove, according to the school’s website.
He was elected to the Cornelius City Council in January 2023. He served previously from January 2019 to December 2022.
As first reported by WIRED, right-wing activists and influencers nationwide have been sharing identifying information of anyone they view as celebrating the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at a Utah university on Wednesday.
In an email, a spokesperson for the Forest Grove School District said they had been made aware of inflammatory comments shared by Colgan on his private social media account while off duty.
“The District does not condone violence nor the celebration of violence,” the statement said. “Our top priority is to protect the right of students to a safe and welcoming learning environment, and our policies prohibit the sharing or teaching of personal political views in our school classrooms.”
John Colgan did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.
how about consequences rather than it always being backlash
For a moment I thought it said back lashing. Oh well.
Oregon teacher. Probably a pervert.
Preferably in the form of unemployment and homelessness.
Most likely.
Unless he loses his job and forfeits his retirement income, and no time off with pay for investigation.
That is just rewarding the person with a nice, long paid vacation.
THE BIG LIE ABOUT ‘PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ IS THAT THEY’RE PUBLIC. IN FACT OUR SCHOOLS ARE LIBERAL - LIKE THE PRESS. LIKE PUBLIC RADIO- NPR WAS ONLY LIBERAL. LIKE ‘PUBLIC’ TV - - WAS ONLY LIBERAL.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS? IT’S TIME TO END THEM. THEY’RE LIBERAL SCHOOLS AND OUR KIDS DON’T BELONG AND WE’RE NOT GONNA PAY FOR LIBELS TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO ‘LIBERAL SCHOOLS’ PAID FOR BY ALL OF US. EFF ‘EM.
Fire his sorry ass and reserve a tent for him in the homeless camp.
I guess it is better than strong criticism.
For the rest of his days.
Oregon “teacher”. A double maggot, POS.
After the World Trade Center there were a handful of these celebrations.
Now we can’t keep up with the stories all over the place.
The population is devolving quickly.
Which we already knew.
I loathe most people in education.
The sooner the lefty schools are abolished the better.
So do I and deservedly so!
This Oregon educator is pure evil.
Fire the boy’s wimpy butt.
A San Diego house wife celebrating Charlie’s death put her husbands electric company in the crosshairs. It’s not going well for them and I really don’t care. These dumbasses always act like there aren’t consequences to being an evil POS.
After the World Trade Center there were a handful of these vile celebrations.
Now we can’t keep up with the stories all over the place after a good man gets shot in cold blood.
The population is devolving quickly.
Which we already knew.
