“hunt down school employees who joked about Trump’s ear getting nicked so that they can be fired.”
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction needs some instruction about commas.

Well, that’s how that sentence parses to me.
I will always remember where I was on the day Trump’s ear was assassinated.
(ETA and like Christ, on the third day was magically whole and alive again.)
