A protest was held and community members are calling for the resignation of the Algonquin-based District 300 school board president over her social media remarks about the Charlie Kirk assassination.
Nancy Zettler, the Board President for Community Unit School District 300, shared a Facebook post on her personal profile from Qasim Rashid, a fellow Democrat and Chicago-area resident.
Rashid reflected on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and said that he extends his empathy to Kirk’s family despite disagreeing with his politics and with him as a person.

In sharing the post, Zettler said, “The first thing I thought when I heard this today was ‘Karma, it’s a $itch.’ Then I read this. The author, Qasim Rashid, says it best.”
Parents in the school district took to social media against Zettler for making the comment, saying it was “hateful” while calling for her removal from the board.
A protest was held on Monday morning outside the District 300 administration office at 2550 Harnish Drive in Algonquin.
