Photo of principal, teachers posing with noose in leaked photo incites outrage
pic at link...
Four educators who smiled for a photo with a noose are all suspended, along with their principal, who reportedly shared it in a mass email.
Linda Brandt, the principal of Summerwind Elementary School in Palmdale, California, allegedly emailed the photo to her staff, attaching a second image of the noose hanging in an office, according to Los Angeles television station Fox 11. Other parents found the photo on Instagram.
Brandt is in consideration to become the next district superintendent.
The Superintendent said all 4 were suspended, but a parent was "shocked that all four teachers had resumed their daily lessons, despite their alleged suspensions.
“They had the audacity to show up today,” she says. “The integrity of the school is completely compromised. To the black community, a noose is a weapon, a symbol of slavery and lynching.
