A school official in Pennsylvania's Central Bucks School District has been placed on paid leave after allegedly posting a threatening message on Facebook, according to NBC10.

Marykate Blankenburg allegedly wrote, "If my child cannot get to the Eagles game due to protesters, I will personally SHOOT every one of them. You've been warned idiots!!"

The post referenced the protesters who have disrupted traffic to Eagles games in response to the injustices in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City and to police brutality in general.
