'Black Supremacist' elementary school teacher removed by district over 'racist' social media postsMESQUITE, Texas (CITC) A Texas elementary school teacher, who refers to herself as a "Black Supremacist," has been removed from her school district after sparking outrage with "offensive" social media posts directed towards White people.
The teacher gained attention Monday for the posts shared to her now-deleted X account, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The teacher, who worked at Thompson Elementary School in the Mesquite Independent School District (Mesquite ISD) near Dallas, went by the name "Claire Kyle" on the platform. X users have alleged that the name "Claire Kyle" is an alias.
In screenshots shared by X users Monday, the teacher seemingly discussed her sister's relationship with a White man on the platform, calling it "the biggest disappointment" she's "ever seen." In a separate post reviewed by Crisis in the Classroom (CITC), she shared a screenshot of herself appearing to ask her partner to "come and kill" the White man.

(3,914 posts)Any white Texan who puts "White Supremacist" in their online bio, posts how they "love being racist" and requests a boyfriend come and kill a black person in their house should not only be fired but prosecuted.
That said, I have a daughter who spent years working with special needs children the same age in Texas and your careless implication is insulting.

No white teachers could get away with such a thing. White people who do something racist always lose their job. We've seen that in case after case.

She owns how awful she is.
Sometimes you just have to appreciate the clarity when the usual obfuscation isn't dragged in.
