A Georgia Department of Education employee is out of a job after racist and insensitive posts were discovered on his social media.

Jeremy Spencer, an associate superintendent, was quickly fired Tuesday following a public outcry from State Senator Vincent Fort.

Spencer’s Facebook page included a post blasting President Obama. Underneath was a picture of a lynching.

While Spencer did not post the photo of the hanging, he did leave it in the comments.

Senator Vincent Fort called for Spencer’s immediate firing on the Senate floor Tuesday.

“Mr. Spencer has crossed the line," says Fort. "The superintendent of the Department of Education needs to fire Spencer today. Not tomorrow, not next week, but he needs to be gone, as soon as possible.”

State School Superintendent Richard Woods swiftly ousted Spencer, saying he was “disgusted and disheartened to see the posts made by Mr. Spencer on his Facebook page.” Woods added that "the posts in no way reflect [his] opinion, or those of the Department of Education."

Jeremy Spencer’s brother, Representative Jason Spencer, responded by saying the decision was unfortunate, but not entirely his brother’s fault.

“I was disappointed in the posts. I think also too, I’m disappointed in that some of the posts were taken out of context," says Representative Spencer.

He also says his brother could have done a better job at regulating the posts on his Facebook.
