Alachua County School Board Chair Sarah Rockwell is under fire after a Facebook post following the news that Hulk Hogan died.
The cultural icon passed away on Thursday at the age of 71.
While people around the globe shared kindness and words of love, Rockwell, a leader in the educational future for school children, took to Facebook to share a vile, politically motivated comment.
Responding to a post announce Hogan’s passing, she wrote “Good. One less MAGA in the world.”

After her disgusting comments went viral, Rockwell posted the following statement on Facebook, but limited who can comment on the post.
A few days ago, I made a cruel and flippant comment from my personal Facebook account on a friend’s post regarding the death of Hulk Hogan. I deeply regret making that comment and have since removed it. I want to make it very clear that I never have and never will wish harm on anyone regardless of whether we share political views. While I strongly disagree with some of the comments Hulk Hogan made, that is no excuse for my comment.
I also sincerely apologize for the way my comment has eroded confidence in my ability to represent all students, families, and staff in Alachua County. I want to assure all of you that the best interests of our children and our public schools are at the center of everything I do as a board member. I hope I have shown that by my record of advocacy for children, families, and staff members throughout Alachua county.
Again, I apologize for the hurt and distrust I have caused with my insensitive comment. I will continue to do the hard work of putting our children and schools first. I hope that I can earn back your trust.
While Hogan was not know for being overtly political, he brought down the house with a legendary speech at last year’s RNC convention.
“My name is Terry Bollea, as an entertainer, I tried to stay out of politics, but after everything that’s happened to our country the past 4 years, and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent. Donald Trump is a real American hero. I’m proud to support my hero as the next president of this United States,” he said.
Following the news of Hogan’s passed, President Trump shared a heartfelt message on Truth Social.
“We lost a great friend today, the “Hulkster.” Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!”
