JEFFERSON COUNTY — An educational aide has resigned after posting a comment celebrating the death of far-right political figure Charlie Kirk on social media.

In a since-deleted statement, the Dunklin School District said the employee resigned and that the comment on her personal Facebook account did "not align with the mission of our district."

The Facebook account of the aide, Rachel Taylor, appears to have been deleted, but screenshots showed Taylor commented on another person's post that she was "having a glass of wine in celebration" in reference to Kirk's death.

Attempts to reach Taylor through numbers listed in public records were unsuccessful. She worked at Pevely Elementary, according to Dunklin R-5's latest student handbook .
