In some of her posts, the teacher used derogatory terms for white people. In others, she complained about her sister spending time with a white man and asked her boyfriend to kill him.
“I enjoy being racist,” she wrote in one post. “I’m never changing.”
The teacher, who has not been named by the district, worked at Mesquite ISD's Thompson Elementary.
According to Mesquite ISD, due to privacy restrictions, the district is unable to comment on the details of personnel matters. However, district officials maintained that the "highly offensive statements" do not reflect the values and standards of Mesquite ISD, and that the district "condemns [the statements made by the teacher] in the strongest terms."
