ROSEMOUNT, MN — A Rosemount teacher who reportedly tweeted about killing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has voluntarily resigned, officials announced Tuesday. The educator is no longer employed by Intermediate School District 917.
“So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh?” the post read, according to the Star Tribune. The Twitter account involved is now deleted. The teacher was listed as an employee of the Alliance Education Center, the newspaper reported.
“The actions of the employee did not occur at school, and there were no school devices, equipment, or other school staff involved in the actions,” superintendent Mark Zuzek said in a statement Tuesday.

“At no time were students or staff in danger. The employee was placed on paid administrative leave and an investigation conducted.”
Due to the Minnesota Data Practices Act, the district said it’s limited in providing additional information.
The United State Senate voted 50-48 to confirm Kavanaugh Saturday. The vote ended a months-long confirmation process that culminated in a national debate about sexual assault.
Despite accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, the GOP-controlled Senate had the votes to confirm the judge, filling the seat left behind by Anthony Kennedy.
