LAKE NORMAN, N.C. – A Lake Norman Charter employee has been placed on administrative leave for a social media comment regarding the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Lake Norman Charter released the following statement in response to the suspension:
“A hateful and highly offensive sentiment related to yesterday’s murder of Charlie Kirk was shared on one of our staff members’ personal social media accounts. This individual has been placed on administrative leave pending a complete investigation.
Lake Norman Charter unequivocally denounces all acts of violence and expressions of hate speech as they are diametrically opposed to the values and principles that our school stands for and seeks to instill in our students. We stand together as a school community and are committed to continuing to foster an environment where our students are guided by educators who embody the highest standards of trust, professionalism, and care.”
The announcement occurred shortly after the Carolina Panthers fired a Panthers communication coordinator for comments made about the assassination.
