Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters vowed to revoke an Ardmore teacher's certificate after they allegedly made posts on social media condoning violence against a political figure.
Ardmore City Schools released a statement saying they are aware of the matter and are investigating.
"The district has begun a thorough and swift investigation into the matter. At this time, the district cannot comment on what actions, if any, it will take as this is an ongoing personnel matter," the district said in the statement. "Ardmore City Schools strongly condemns acts of physical violence and any words that seek to encourage it, no matter their target. It is the goal of the Board of Education, together with the district's faculty and staff, to educate students in a safe environment free from violent acts and rhetoric."

"I have investigated it enough. I will be taking her teaching certificate. She will no longer be teaching in Oklahoma," Walters posted. "No one in Oklahoma education system will support the assassination of @realDonaldTrump. It will not be tolerated. Ever! #maga."
Ardmore City Schools has not released any further details.
