A Wyoming teacher is facing a 13-day unpaid suspension after sending an offensive tweet that was later discovered by her students, mlive.com reports.

"I'm sure the girl who is taking my economics class for the second time will make an excellent mom come December. #sarcasm," the teacher, who Superintendent Thomas Reeder describes as a veteran educator, wrote on her Twitter account. The identity of the teacher has not been released.

After students turned over the tweet on Tuesday, Sept. 9, the teacher was told not to come to school on Wednesday, as an investigation launched, Reeder adds. On Thursday, she was informed about the extent of her punishment, mlive.com reports. Upon her return, Reeder says it is up to the student to determine if she wants to continue to be in the class.

WOOD TV reports that before the tweet was sent, no one knew the teen was pregnant. A student who tipped off the tweet describes it as bullying, saying it was "upsetting and disappointing."

Reeder says the teacher did apologize for her actions. The teacher is taking complete ownership of the negative tweet, and understands the consequences, he adds.

According to Fox 17, the teacher's Twitter account has been deactivated.
