KNOXVILLE, Iowa (KCCI-TV) — A Knoxville school associate fired for a post about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk is now suing the district. KCCI repots Stacey Sumpter says the school violated her first amendment rights. Following Kirk’s death in September, Sumpter posted a comment on her personal Facebook page: “Normally I would say Auf wider sehen; but since that technically means ’til I see you again’ … So since I never wish to see you again, to you; I say goodbye,” the comment reads.

Court records show she was fired days later. Sumpter is asking the court for reinstatement and damages. In a court filing, Sumpter claims she was never given a hearing or other opportunity to present her side of the story. Court documents say “Since her termination, there has been no administrative review that would afford Ms. Sumpter the very due process promised to her by District policy.”

The district says it does not comment on pending litigation.
