Rutherford County Schools received several messages about David Colin on Wednesday. Colin is accused of posting on Facebook, "the only good Trump supporter is a dead Trump supporter," on Facebook Nov. 9 at 9:29 a.m.
Colin is not employed by RCS, but is contracted through PESG. The schools said Colin is no longer permitted to work in the district.
The school district has notified PESG about Colin. The contractor indicted that it will conduct an internal investigation of the allegations immediately. "Information was presented to us by the school district," a PESG spokesperson said. "We are investigating it."
Colin is also accused of writing this on Facebook on Jan. 16:
I spent a lot of time today thinking about the state of this mess. There are huge numbers of people that are upset, mad, angry, (pretty much every negative word), but what I have not seen is a plan. Everyone is looking for leadership to start this off, but there is no one carrying the banner. Without that we will all settle in to becoming angry hateful people and there will be no solutions. So, where do we go from here? Rallies and demonstrations are pretty much futile, since the lunatics just laugh at us knowing we haven't the guts to stand up ad take the actions needed. Writing and complaining falls on deaf ears. Not until the first shot is fired will the recovery begin.
Comment: We'll have to wait and see what comes of this investigation.
