NAPLES, N.Y. — A Naples Central School District employee has been put on leave over their posts about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the district says.
The close ally of President Donald Trump was shot and killed on Wednesday at a Utah Valley University event, leading to local, state, and federal officials condemning political violence.
Naples superintendent Kevin Swartz said the district became aware of multiple posts from a staff member’s personal social media account that referenced the assassination and outraged community members.
“We have heard from many community members regarding concerns and outrage related to these posts,” Swartz wrote on the district’s Facebook page. “I want to be very direct in saying to you that all of your voices have been heard. It is comforting to know the NCS community values kindness, empathy, compassion, and civility.”

“Like so many of you, I was shocked and saddened to hear of the terrible tragedy that transpired yesterday in Utah, where Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Last evening, the district became aware that an NCS staff member made multiple posts to a personal social media site referencing this tragedy.”
