A Texas elementary school announced the firing of a teacher for social media comments about white people that it deemed 'racist.'

The post continued:"As of this morning, the employee is no longer a part of the Mesquite ISD organization and is not eligible for rehire. Due to privacy restrictions, Mesquite ISD cannot comment on the details of Personnel matters. Nevertheless, the highly offensive statements posted to her X account do not reflect the values and standards of Mesquite ISD, and the district condemns them in the strongest terms.

In the account's bio, the former teacher referred to herself as"pro-Black men," as well as a"Black supremacist." The account was created in September 2022, with Sportskeeda reporting that it had consistently made posts derogatory towards white people since then. Only recently had her account been linked to her real job at Thompson Elementary, causing an uproar from some users online.
