A Rutherford County Schools substitute teacher who posted on Facebook that President Donald Trump supporters should be dead will no longer work with the district, a spokesman said.

"Rutherford County Schools received several messages after hours on Feb. 8 about a substitute teacher who is accused of making inappropriate, threatening comments on social media during the work day," said James Evans, the district spokesman. "Rutherford County Schools contracts with PESG to provide substitute teachers, and the school district has notified the contractor that the substitute teacher, David Colin, will not be permitted to work any longer as a substitute in Rutherford County Schools. PESG has indicated it will conduct an internal investigation of the allegations immediately."

The post in question appeared at 9:29 a.m. Nov. 9: "The only good Trump supporter is a dead Trump supporter."

PESG spokeswoman Fredericka Hayes said Thursday afternoon she did not know where the substitute teacher was working at the time of the post.

"We’re in the middle of an investigation," she said.
