SPOKANE, Wash – The Central Valley School District was within its right to discipline a school administrator for making political posts on social media.
Randey Thompson was an assistant principal at Evergreen Middle School between August 2019 and June 2021. At the time, he had been employed by the district for 30 years.
In August 2020 during the Democratic National Convention, Thompson posted on Facebook calling it the “Demtard convention” and called Michellle Obama a “hateful racists [sic] b*tch.” He said, in part, “the rest of us are sick and tired of your act and are going to take you to the woodshed for a proper education.”
Thompson said it was posted on his private Facebook account and that he did not intend to send the post to people outside of 12 close conservative friends.
Federal court documents show he updated the post, not calling Ms. Obama the offensive name and changing some of the other profanity.
Thompson said someone hacked his account before he could post the second post and that the original post was seen by a CVSD employee and sent district administrators.
