Facebook Post by elementary school teacher Karen Fitzgibbons
Yes, that's a real post from a real elementary school teacher in Texas responding to the mess in McKinney. Karen Fitzgibbons, an elementary school teacher at Bennett Elementary School, had the nerve, the racist gall, the ignorance, to log into Facebook and post:
"I’m going to just go ahead and say it ... the blacks are the ones causing the problems and this ‘racial tension.’ I guess that’s what happens when you flunk out of school and have no education. I’m sure their parents are just as guilty for not knowing what their kids were doing; or knew it and didn’t care. I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone. Maybe the 50s and 60s were really on to something. Now, let the bashing of my true and honest opinion begin....GO! #imnotracist #imsickofthemcausingtrouble #itwasatagedcommunity"Sigh.
Where do we even begin here? Let's explore below.
1. This is frightening as hell. Her school district is not an all-white town. This school, it has been confirmed, has black children. Even if she only taught white kids, it's awful, but to know that black children are in a school with a teacher like this is just disgusting.
2. Fitzgibbons offered a half-assed apology in which she said she already apologized to everyone that mattered. Ummmmm. Really? Who?
Fitzgibbons insisted the post “was not directed at any one person or group.”
“It was not an educational post; it was a personal experience post,” Fitzgibbons said, adding she has a personal connection to the McKinney situation, but declined to elaborate.
She added: “I apologized to the appropriate people,” declining to identify those people.
3. This woman absolutely needs to be fired. These views are racist, offensive, and disgusting. She is in clear violation of school policy, seen below.
Frenship’s policy states that employees will be held to the same professional standards in their public use of electronic media as they are for any other public conduct. The policy specifically mentions social networking sites Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn.
“If an employee’s use of electronic media interferes with the employee’s ability to effectively perform his or her job duties, the employee is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment,” the policy states.
Contact her school superintendent, Dr. Michelle McCord at: mmccord@frenship.us
Call the School District at: (806) 866-9541
EDIT:
SHE GOT FIRED!!!
Got her ass outta there
