Teacher Fired After Post About Trump Assassination Attempt
BrightPath said the employee was terminated after a video appeared to express disappointment that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump failed.
- On Monday, BrightPath Bridgetown Child Care Center terminated teacher Corrine Baum after she posted a video expressing disappointment that President Donald Trump was not killed during an assassination attempt.
- The controversy follows a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, where federal officials say 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen attempted to assassinate President Trump before Secret Service agents arrested him.
- Baum drew outrage after a clip circulated online via the Libs of TikTok account, in which she lamented, "I wake up to that news, but not THAT news." Parents demanded her firing over concerns about political violence.
- A BrightPath spokesperson stated on Monday that the organization "does not tolerate and explicitly condemns any calls for violence," confirming the termination because the individual's comments were inconsistent with corporate values.
- Critics continue urging the Ohio Department of Education to review Baum's teaching credentials, while legal proceedings against Allen advance on charges of assault on a federal officer and firearm use during violent crime.
