Lake Norman Charter places employee on leave

An employee at Lake Norman Charter School was placed on administrative leave for posting a "hateful and highly offensive sentiment" related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the school announced.

The Huntersville-based school issued the following statement about the incident:

"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 suspension comes shortly after the Carolina Panthers fired a communications director for an insensitive post that mocked Kirk's death.
