An Idaho high school teacher is under investigation following remarks she allegedly made on Facebook after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 is reviewing comments made by Lori Lombard, a teacher at Century High School, after screenshots appeared showing her wishing “unwanted pregnancy” on a Trump supporter. Lombard also allegedly criticized the individual’s appearance, suggesting they should “cover your profile picture.”
“Seriously… cover your profile picture. You are pathetic looking and are opening yourself to ridicule. Everyone will know you can’t get a woman and don’t have children unless you forced yourself on some poor woman,” Lombard allegedly posted.
Screenshots shared with Fox News Digital by those claiming to be targeted showed Lombard continuing to engage in heated exchanges, even after another commenter identified her as a local teacher. In another comment, Lombard allegedly directed a similar insult toward another person: “I hope your mistress or daughter have an unwanted pregnancy. Wait, I looked at your picture—you don’t have a mistress… And probably never got anyone to have a daughter by you unless it was by force.”
Following Trump’s election success in Idaho, Lombard purportedly commented that “Idahoans don’t pay attention to real data and what a terrible job he did… We should do away with criminal background checks in this state, as most citizens don’t care if someone lied, stole, and defrauded banks and taxpayers out of millions. Any felon deserves a job.”
In response, the school district issued a statement indicating it was investigating the incident, emphasizing that personal opinions shared outside of work are “protected.”
“PCSD 25 is aware of concerns regarding a recent social media interaction involving one of our teachers. These concerns have been forwarded to the district and school administration for review. We take them very seriously,” read the statement. “The district expects respectful dialogue and will address concerns constructively. Ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being is our top priority. Any threats or harassment will be referred to the proper authorities.”
One of Lombard’s alleged targets, Karlie Cordell, shared screenshots and a video of the incident with Fox, providing evidence of the comments. “I know during these times people can get a little passionate about their political stance. What I found astonishing was Century High School teacher Lori Lombard wishing unwanted pregnancies and pregnancy complications on those who are voting differently than her,” Cordell wrote. “As a mother who struggled to bring her child into this world, I am appalled at the fact that that same child could potentially have her as a teacher. The same teacher who wished harm against him simply because we disagreed,” Cordell continued. “This woman helps pave the way for our future minds, and this is how she behaves. Imagine what she might be saying to those kids behind closed doors.”
The comments have since been removed. According to the school’s website, Lombard is listed as a career and technical education teacher.
