MCPS email. But as she pointed out, other MCPS employees had LGBTQ statement, Black Lives Matter, etc. in their email signatures and were not similarly punished.

Advocating for human rights isn't the same as antisemitism. BLM or LGBTQ isn't controversial. The only groups with which they are called hate groups.

Well the insurrectionist teacher is still at the Virtual Academy so they have a leg to stand on. Her social media posts were disgusting too. Referring to George floyd and other black individuals as a certain animal. She’s disgusting. Why does she get to keep her job?

BLM and LGBTQ are very controversial. One can argue whether they should be, but that doesn’t change the fact that currently they are. The phrase “ from the river to the sea” has its own controversy and its own place in advocating for human rights.

Exactly, LGBTQ rights and Black lives are controversial with hate groups.

The email signature said from the River to the sea. And the social media posts were shared memes criticizing Israel on her personal (not public) Facebook page.

All personal Facebook pages are public. If you don't understand that by now you shouldn't use the interwebs.

Is Maryland a right-to-work state?

They should be able to fire these sad sack antisemites for any reason they way. May they never be employable again, anywhere, in any profession.

That’s true, but advocating for the rights of Palestinians which was LITERALLY what she did, IS advocating for human rights.

If she's not smart enough to keep her thinking out of her public work email, then she is not smart enough to be a teacher. She deserves to be fired. I would feel the same if it was a pro-Israel statement in a message line. Controversial politics should NOT be part of your signature line as a public school teacher.

But they allowed BLM and Trans-Rights statements which are also controversial political associations.

Advocating for Black people to be treated humanely or for basic human rights for gay people isn't as controversial as advocating for the elimination of Israel.

Again, she wasn’t advocating for the elimination of Israel. She was ADVOCATING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PALESTINIANS. How can I make this any clearer?

I am a teacher in MCPS. I have a coworker who wears watermelon earrings daily, and follows trends on what days to wear red or black. She is making her statement loud and clear for anyone looking.

For myself and a few other Jewish teachers, we are completely uncomfortable with her displays. They don’t belong in a classroom. I don’t say anything, but that doesn’t mean they’re not noticed. Luckily we are in an elementary school where the kids don’t realize, but I can’t even imagine this in a middle or high school. How inappropriate!

These three teachers took it even further. Their actions made their neighbors feel targeted. This should not be tolerated in MCPS and I’m glad they got what they deserved.

It’s so nice that you want to speak for them after the fact. Are you also saying that about the Facebook images? You don’t get to change the meaning to fit your narrative. You should not be defending this. You are in the wrong.

And just because others also broke the rule with supporting non-controversial topics, does not change how wrong these three individuals were.

What's she doing that makes you uncomfortable?
