<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An elementary school principal in Missouri has been placed on paid leave after responding to a David Hogg tweet with images of himself and his children shooting firearms, according to local media<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Chad Searcey, the principal at Compass Elementary School in Platte City, Mo., was responding to a Twitter post by Parkland activist David Hogg, who was encouraging his followers to support funding for gun violence research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGun violence is the second leading cause of death for the young people in the United States, yet basically gets no research funding from the federal government at all whatsoever,\u201d Hogg says in the accompanying video. \u201cWe have a chance to fund it currently in this Congress with this Senate and give $50 million to the CDC and NIH.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join @AMarch4OurLives<\/a> and @bradybuzz<\/a> in the #WeNeedtoKnow<\/a> campaign to get Congress to fund gun violence research.

Searcey replied with three images of himself and his\nchildren holding and shooting firearms. Searcey is pictured with an AR-15, and\nhis children are shooting .22 caliber handguns. The text simply says, \u201c#Merica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local media reports that Searcey apologized on Twitter for his post, but the school decided to suspend him anyway. The district released a statement promising to \u201caddress the situation immediately\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The District learned of the tweet today and immediately placed the employee on paid, administrative leave while we investigate the situation. We understand why the public response has been strong with regard to student safety in our nation\u2019s schools. We intend to address the situation immediately and in a manner consistent with our Board of Education policies, as well as our goal of ensuring a safe and caring environment for our students, staff, and community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hogg also responded on Twitter, implying that Searcey doesn\u2019t\ncare about kids who are shot at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool guns, you know what\u2019s more cool? Mom’s and dads getting to see their kids graduate high school alive. Kids not having to step over bloodstained sidewalks on their way to school. Parents not coming home to find their child with a self inflicted gun shot wound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The reaction from parents of children who attend Searcey\u2019s school have been mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Casaos told local media<\/a> that \u201csome things are unfortunate\u201d but \u201che\u2019s an amazing principal who\u2019s very compassionate and kind. I think he should be forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others weren\u2019t so sure Searcey should be allowed to return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mean, he has the right to have guns and go shoot them\nwith his family. But to post something like that on a serious subject like that\nis very insensitive,\u201d Melanie Lillard said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if he should come\nback or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searcey has since deleted both the post and his entire Twitter account, but an old tweet saved by the Internet Archive indicates he is an avid outdoorsman and promotes youth hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searcey\u2019s bio on the Platte County R-3 School District\u2019s website indicates that he\u2019s been with the district for 14 years. He describes himself and his interests on his private Instagram account<\/a> as, \u201cLeader; Military Supporter; Outdoorsman;\u00a0#Huskers<\/a>\u00a0#KC<\/a>\u00a0#Royals<\/a>\u00a0fan; Continuous Learner and Proud American.
