SFSD fires counselor following comments on assassination attempt

SDPB

A guidance counselor has been relieved of their duties in the Sioux Falls School District after social media posts relating to an attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump.

This weekend, a would-be assassin grazed the former President’s ear and killed an attendee of a Pennsylvania rally hosted by Trump.

Following the incident, the former guidance counselor reportedly posted “if only he would’ve had his scope sighted in correctly.”

In a statement, district representatives said the statement from the staff member does not align with the district's values and was uncondoned.
