A teacher in an elementary school in Texas, USA has been laid off after tweeting “racist” statements on social media which included complaints about her sister dating a white man.
In a recent statement, the Mesquite Independent School District said the teacher, who is black, was no longer with the school after officials became aware of “alarming, racist” posts she tweeted.
The school system said: “As of this morning, the employee is no longer a part of the Mesquite ISD organization and is not eligible for rehire.
“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.”
The school added officials can’t say more because it’s a personnel matter.
According to posts reviewed by the Dallas Morning News, the teacher reacted by saying she was upset her sister was dating a white man and joked that she asked her boyfriend to kill him.
In a post, she reportedly wrote: “I enjoy being a racist. I’m never changing.”
The newspaper reported that she used derogatory words for white people in other posts.
The teacher, whose Twitter handle is Claire Kyle, has deleted her account from the social media platform.
The teacher described herself as a “Black Supremacist” in her social media account bio and stated that her job knew about the posts before she was employed.
The teacher said: “Yes. Y’all have found my job. They told me to delete the post but my job is safe since I did not directly wish harm on ALL white people.
“They laughed and told me to watch what I say and I’ll be good to go!”
According to Dallas Morning News, the teacher taught third grade for three years at Thompson Elementary School and taught at the district for four years.
