Sioux Falls District Fires Employee After Social Media Post
It was a surreal weekend filled with emotions after the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life.

The internet is forever and one Sioux Falls resident is learning this lesson the tough way after being terminated from her position within the Sioux Falls School District.

Our news partners at Dakota News Now are reporting the Sioux Falls School District was aware of the social media post. Officials agreed that this employee did not reflect the values of the Sioux Falls School District, Here's the official statement:
The District’s Code of Conduct Policy (GBEB) clearly outlines the high standards to which we hold all staff members, given the public trust in our responsibility to educate the children of our community and serve as positive role models. The staff member’s statement does not align with the School District’s values and was not condoned in any way. The individual is no longer employed by the Sioux Falls School District.
Cassandra Oleson was a behavior facilitator at Ben Reifel Middle School. The post that cost her job? On Facebook, Cassandra said, “Shoot If only he would’ve had his scope sighted in correctly.” This was probably not the best reaction to share online for the world to see.
This is a lesson not just for the Sioux Empire but for anyone with social media. Let's try to use the internet for good going forward!
