Teacher fired for wearing Black Lives Matter mask to school during prep day before students returned

Great Hearts Western Hills

Protests over racial injustice erupted across the United States this summer after several high-profile killings of Black people by police. The Black Lives Matter movement has been central to the protests. "Great Hearts enacted, in this unprecedented pandemic environment, a policy that face coverings have no external messages," Scoggin said.

"If you're scared about what parents are going to say because a teacher is supporting equal rights, you need to reevaluate the kind of people you're catering to. By staying silent, Great Hearts is only supporting racist parents."

Keep your agenda out of the schools..being fired is a bit much but if she refused to change masks and not follow guidelines then she did it for attention. She got it now and will probably sue point being you cant start this in schools

Good

Good

You make that sound like a bad thing.

She was in the wrong, but that doesn't count for the white guilt PC woke left liberal progressive herd. ' Great Hearts Texas Superintendent Daniel Scoggin said in a statement to CNN that school policy forbids faculty from displaying messages on their face masks.'

Shame on Great Hearts for firing her! “Hey, can you start wearing a different heart when you’re on campus” silenceisviolence blm

She was fired for not following the school board directive after being asked to several times!

Bye bye Karen

Proper thing

. Are you obsessed with America? Report on this countries stupidly we have lots of it . Especially our government

This tweet is hopelessly commented by Canadian Communists. As far as I can tell. Open your eyes, people. The BLM is a FAKE! If you like to make comments as you do, that keep your self informed. The founder of BLM and his assos, were arrested for money fraud & the other offenses.

Good.. BLM IS BULLSHIT..

blm are terrorists looters intimidaters and are guilty of organized violence. plus apparently the school had a policy of not displaying messages on masks

Dear Canadians, It’s a slow news day in Canada & our staff are off today. So we, have chosen & purchased this CNN tweet specifically for you & our Canadian audience. Please enjoy these “cut & paste” USA tweets while we at CTV Canada are away on holidays.

Good, People should be keeping their personal politics out of their workplaces

Only in Texas.

Dam rights she should be fired. Stick to teaching. That’s what you WERE paid for.

If she wore mask reading 'world peace,' I'd wager no action

Teachers aren't hired for their opinions. There's a curriculum to be taught. Their opinion means nothing. They just need to do the job, or find another field of work . I don't want my children or grandchildren, taught by anyone that can't separate their job from home.

Queue the racists. BLM doesn't mean no other lives matter. It's not a political statement, it's a human rights thing....Discrimination exists in the classroom, therefore it should be addressed. That's all

State media distorts the truth again...factcheckctv

👍

Funny how all the MY RIGHTS LOSERS are so quick to give up their rights. School policy doesn’t supersede the first amendment.

How dumb

Good for the people in Texas for standing up For the rights of the people More should follow suit fire all of them All those athletes that locked arm took a knee every one

Quit twisting the news to fit your liberal hate amd division agenda.

Wear whatever u want, but leave the kids and their schooling out of this. Schools already do enough brainwashing.

Good. Kids shouldn’t be brain washed one way or the other

Love it.

Karen88775 Good. Leave her politics at the school gate.

Good!

Good! It was founded by 3 marxist women...advocates the destruction of the nuclear family, and promotes intersectionality.

So she should be.

My teachers never got political. Wouldn't even tell us who they voted for because it was 'inappropriate' in school.

Great. She should get fired and even jailed because ALL lives matter, black, indigenous, Asian, Hispanic, white, etc - not a single life is more important than another. Saying black lives matter is racist. BLM is racist. I am a POC, but not black. My life MATTERS.

Aren't you all tired of being bombarded with political stuff and every issue getting polarized as a left vs right issue. I know I sure am.

The people that fired her should lose their jobs

Good 😊

Keep that BS out of our schools!

GOOD!! bullshit political money grab - what have they actually done for the black community besides burning it down? NOTHING!!!

Wondering if this teacher wore a maga mask and was fired if the msm would cover the story?

🤣🤣🤣Well done..nothing but a mattress for Blm anyway

A firing seems extreme. Maybe a warning or week suspension? And BTW this isn't a news story. I remember my teachers in HS literally talking about how they wouldn't and shouldn't share their political beliefs. And that's the way it should be.

Dear Canadians, It’s a slow news day in Canada & our staff are off this weekend. So we, have chosen & purchased this CNN tweet specifically for you,our Canadian audience. Please enjoy these “cut & paste” USA tweets while we at CTV Canada are away on holidays.

she will sue and get paid or reinstated

I send my kids to school to learn how to read, write and do math. Not be taught about the horrors of the workd at such a young age. The mask would have had my kid asking questions and how would she have responded? In my house, all lives matter anyway.

Good.

over 467 victims of PROVEN SYSTEMIC HARASSMENT AT AIR CANADA fired with the union UNIFOR complicity all waiting at the Canadian human rights tribunal for laws that already exist

Teachers are hiring to teach the curriculum not to parade their personal politics or religion.

She should have saved her politics for twitter.

Freedom of speech

CTV you are hot 💩😂😂. Gas lighting anybody Keep up the division. Your the experts 😂😂😂

Good

so much about democracy bu the western world....haha

Good. Keep your fucking politics to yourself and stop pushing it on your students.

“school policy forbids faculty from displaying messages on their face masks.” BLM has become a far left political movement so it makes sense. I’m sure she would’ve gotten the same backlash for a blue lives matter mask...

Good.

Good lol

It actually should say 'criminals lives matter'

Sometimes I think people believe you can't hold a specific value unless you have it plastered in print. This teacher could have had meaningful discussions with students about equality, but instead she is now looking for another job.

Fake news! But would any parents agree to bring charlatanism and bombastic Marxist into their children's classroom?

No, she was fired for repeatedly refusing to follow the school's policy of no messages on face coverings.

GOOD. There’s enough brainwashing as it is.

Good

Good!

Good! She should not do that kind of shit.

Good. Students shouldn't be dealing with any side of politicals when at school

As she should, it's a terrorist organization funded by George Soros.

Good. Dough head Marxist enablers should be nowhere near children..

Good, teachers need to keep politics out of the workplace.

That's good.

Good

Good. Keep Marxism is communist nations.

As an Australian teacher, in your free time,do what you like. I'd like not think she was instructed bro remove it at school. If she refused then it becomes a different issue and she's fallen on.het sword. I hope it's worth it for her and her family.. unemployment.

How 👏 is 👏 this 👏 news 👏 for 👏 Canadians? Seriously . Try investigative journalism. Like why are we selling our mines to CCP and allowing them to “guard their interests” on Canadian soil with CCP military?

Kurogane_84 Awesome! Keep politics out of public schools, and don’t advertise terrorism! THIS IS AMERICA!

Promoting hate should be prohibited as a teacher. Good decision.

Good. Thanks for the useless American news. Can you go back to Trudeau's scandals now.

School officials just saw things differently........

This happened in Texas but Canadian news is covering it.

Good she’s there to teach not push a political agenda ...

Wow! In Ontario, they want teachers 20 years into retirement to come back to teaching! I hope she takes them to court.

Good!

👍

JLCWood2017 Good. Political agendas should not be in our schools.

Awesome

Terrilltf That school needs a union. I note this is a charter school. In Alberta, the UCP wants to empower more charter schools, because the teachers are more poorly paid and without unions can be fired without cause. It’s easier to clamp down on social justice if you hit the pocket book.

We were not allowed to bring politics etc into our school . You were given a warning first then out .

If a “black lives matter” mask is deemed offensive, what does it say when our Minister of Families, Children and Social Development wears a black power fist mask to an affordable housing announcement? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

Good... promotion of an Marxist ideal hidden behind a highjacked issue emotionally charged. Without the full understanding of what BLM really stands for was the correct move.

Good.

Insane America is Truly CRACRA

Good, every single teacher openly supporting MARXISM while at work or any political movement should be reprimanded, if it continues, fired.

No politics in school

BLM don't care about black lives, if they did they would be protesting in Chicago against the daily slaughter of blacks from other black people... It's just about chaos and anarchy on behalf of the Democratic party leading up to the election.

Black people who were casualties of the BLM mob.

That mask is political af. No way would a teacher be allowed to wear a Maga hat either into the school.

Sanity prevails. Let her take her views to the parking lot.

Hey CTV news here's an idea why not report on our corrupt PM?

GOOD!!!

School should always be apolitical. It should provide an environment whereby students are developed for into able and critical thinkers who can decide for themselves which political ideologies to endorse.

Good

Gotta love Texas

Deserved it. blackCrimesMatter

A terrorist organization

Good... BLM is a Marxist group that has done nothing to help the black community. They spread hate and division to further their Marxist goals.

Good...

Rightfully she should be fired. Indoctrination of kids is wrong. Leave your politics and religion at home

Shouldn't the 'silence is violence' part of the mask warrant more consideration & attention? Accusing people who withhold their judgments of committing violence in doing so seems pretty extreme. I support freedom of speech, but this statement is a generalized libelous accusation.

CanadianMikePPC Good

As she should have been

Good, she deserves it, BLM is a militant, regressive anarchist organization. Has nothing to do with caring about black people, or Hispanic, or Asian or White.

Right on

Good

GOOD.

Perfect!

if she supports BLM, she must also condone all the violence, looting and rioting BLM has been apart of

Good

Good! There's no place for radical Marxist groups in any Educational facility

Thats dumb.

why can you not publish newsworthy Canadian news. why do you go out of your way to promote hate? such a dumb article. of course she was fired for not following rules, especially after being warned.

So texas doesn't plan on letting politics into the classroom? Sounds good to me.

Why? Who ever fired her should be fired! We must stand up for her!

As she should have been.

Ramming ‘black lives matter’ down everyone’s throats 24/7 is insulting and presumes the majority of white people dont think black lives are important which is bunk. It’s become divisive and it’s not because of real racism.

Good.

Good. That's racist. BLM is racist. AllLivesMatter

“Free speech.”

Good, this terrorist organization has no place in society! The BLM movement is only damaging race relations further.

I am proud of her. She showed strength and fortitude.

Seems she was too stupid to teach, so whatever.

You wouldnt let her wear an ISIS mask either. This is reasonable.

Yes 🎉 it should not be just about those people. ITS ABOUT ALL PEOPLE

Good Riddence! Donestic Terrorists have no place with our children.

Violent organisations have no place in our schools

CTV News is CNN’s bitch.

Excellent.

Lmfao, good!

Excellent news👏 Now focus on Canada!😡

That’s ridiculous. I hope she’s part of a union and I hope she files a grievance.

Good

Good! End CriticalRaceTheory

Excellent.

Good!!

LMAO not surprising it's texas 92% of the population are white supremacy!!

Good! Weed them all out!!

Good!!

Agree, political should be away from campus.

She received multiple warnings and requests to stop. School had to act

UNIONS will be the downfall of society if we let them continue !!!!!

Good. No need to pollute kids minds more that they already are.

GOOD .. NOW report on the CRIMINALS running this country for a change !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good!!

🥴👌🏻🤣

Thanks CTV. I was wondering if any teachers in Texas had been fired for wearing a BLM mask. Very helpful. Keep up the great work.

Good, she should be fired. She can keep her political leftist crap out of the classroom.

Anyone who supports BLM has racist tendencies or hasn't read their manifesto. Either way, corrective action is appropriate.

Well about time. BLM is a racist, bigoted, intolerant Marxist bunch of $$Race $$Hustlers who have called for the eradication of untermenschen white people who they say are defective.

Good!

Safest thing for her!

That terrorist stuff does not belong in schools

Good fire any of them doing this shit

Good!!!!

Good.

Indoctrination of youth is what Nazis and Communists do!!! This is Canada!!!!

That political bullshit doesn’t belong in schools, to me that teaching children to be racist! fuckblm bull shit.

Good. Keep ur leftist ideology out of schools and my kids education

I'm kind of torn on this one. I fully support freedom of speech and expression. I'm totally against teachers trying to indoctrinate students with their personal view. But if school or board policy is no political slogans, and if continued after a warning, deserves discipline

All lives matter. See when you hear about shootungs in the GTA is black people shooting and killing. Is that our fault as well. When I say WE I mean all other lives.

Is it true cathmckenna was caught in a video eating dogs and bribing an official to get into an illegal fight to the death cockfight? Maybe check into that sh*t storm. At least it’s Canadian. Ottawa hide your 🐕

Why is this news? The school had a rule. She consistently broke the rule. And got fired for not following the rule. Why is this news?

gud the Class Room is no place for one's personal views

Good ! Kick her out

Good.

What happened to freedom of speech and Expression. I'm very proud of this woman👍👍👍👍👍💕

Why are so many teachers incapable of reading statistics and policy?

Excellent. BLM is destruction at all costs.

In America, supporting black people is considered political, and somehow a knock against white people. How terribly sad.

michael_house9 Good now start arresting the thugs in BLM and ANTIFA. Shut them down Let’s make people safe again.

This is good news.

Good. Keep politics out of schools

Good

Schools don’t need to be political, nothing wrong with the message but we don’t need it in schools. IMO anyway

An art teacher pushing her employers limits during a pandemic?Where millions aren't working? That's what I call income suicide, she's gonna starve. There are no artist jobs available, what an idiot. These are the people teaching kids how to make informed decisions? Scary stuff.

If she had worn a IRA or plo mask then what?

Any news happening in Canada?

Weird font

Teachers are there to teacher, not to be political advocates Same as the media

Good. Keep politics out of schools.

If you can get fired for supporting BLM in a red state does that mean you can get fired for wearing a MAGA hat in a blue state?

Good

That’s good. Promoting far left hate groups should be a fireable offence.

Agree!

Excellent

bye bye cunt

Utterly stupid but what else would you expect in Texas. Bravo to the white teacher. It was prep day! No students present. ✌️❤️🇨🇦

Good

As she should have been.

I call BS.

Finally! All students need to feel safe at school.

Why, black lives doesn’t matter

Great news

wonderful good propaganda doesn’t belong in schools especially from teachers

Something about politicizing a classroom full of children obviously.

GOOD! She should not be pushing her politics on the children, especially from a group that promotes violence.

Good. Perfect.

It’s important to know and remind others. But you don’t put this confused mindset in front of the kids. Educate them properly first.

She was told not to wear it. She kept wearing it. She was fired. The end

Keep politics out of the education system.

That’s fine!!! An organization now hijacked for political purposes !! It’s propaganda !!

How’s that “freedom of speech” thingy working for all the republican Nazis?

WHAT ? ridiculous

She is a teacher, not an advocate for one side or another. She was given the chance to change the mask and refused, firing was the right thing to do.

Great, she has no business teaching other people's children. She should go to Portland DT and join her ANTIFA/BLM fraternal groups.

Leave your political shit AT HOME!!! Our kids don't need your crap!

Good. She should be fired.

School policy needs to be adhered to by teachers.

Good. Terrorist organizations have no place in the classroom.

Rightly so.... schools have for far to long been a haven for left wing and political indoctrination of captive students. Leave your political slants at the door...

Now she sues...gets rich and lives the fucked up american dream

Good

She isn’t getting my support. Keep your political views out of the workplace.

CTV loves ❤️ importing every American problem into Canada. CTV is a top promoter of USA BLM unrest & subsequent violence while stifling those whose believe a good movement has gone to far caused a backlash.

She should go to teach in a school funded by BLM. Everyone would be happy.

Good. Politics have no place in school

As she should be.

I guess freedom in the USA only applies if you say something the people in power agree with. I wonder if it had a religious slogan on it, would she have also been fired?

Fired for ignoring superintent's instructions to not wear messages because of volatile political climate. She made her choice

Yeah. Great plan lady. Sow the seeds of division where it may not have been to begin with. White lady hating on white people to stir the pot.

Reprimand or correct her for bringing politics to work. Don't fire her. Censorship is always wrong.

It's always a white Karen 🤣

Which school. The principal did great job.

Why you stirring shit . Teachers own political views should be kept to themselves period!! Not on tax payers dime.

That’s just terrible but good on her for her beliefs

Well yeah.... no politics as work please. Just do your job that the public pays for.

Sue the bastards.

Non sense. I couldn’t get it why

Good

Same as wearking a KKK logo at work. They are a racist organization judging others by colour.

Teachers should not wear political slogans.

US has a pandemic of ignorance!

I signed the petition! Don't back down from fighting human rights.

How truly pathetic! That yoi can't express anything!

Whether you agree with her or not the policy makes sense. If you allow one message because you agree with it you'll quickly find yourself in a position where you have to approve all messaging on masks and justify why you approved one but not another.

Seriously, the US has some major problems. I bet fired by the same ppl screaming ‘free speech’ and ‘my rights’ and ‘cancel culture’

Racists shouldn't be teachers. Also if you read the article the school has a strict no slogan policy for mask so she was fired for continuously breaking the rule which isn't good for a teacher to do. She has no one to blame but herself.

Give it up CTV Support for Black Lives Matter protests has plunged from 54 percent to 39 percent in the past three months, and those who disapprove of the movement now outnumber those who approve it, according to a poll released by the Associated Press-NORC.

Good!

1st amendment is only allowed when GOP approve the message.

Good

Good.

Are you serious?

Good!

GREAT-& CTV IS CRYING AS THEY REPORT THIS

Freedom of speech unless someone in power disagrees.

Keep your divisive politics out of our schools!

Great job for firing her

Good. Keep that sh*t out of our schools.

Love it! Teachers would be fired if they wore a Bin Laden face mask. So they should be fired for wearing a BLM terrorist face mask.

All lives matter, that is what should be taught.

Good such a dumb thing to wear and sick of hearing of so called teachers indoctrinating children with this kind of filth

Good. Our institutions need to remain non-political.

Good!

Then people should be able to wear masks at their work place touting their political, religious and moral beliefs.

And rightly so. Teachers must not be expressing their political views in any way, shape or form. BLM is political.

ALL LIVES MATTER .. IF YOU THINK JUST BLACK LIVES MATTER YOU DEAR ARE RACIST

Good!

Teacher should keep their political views out of the classroom.

In Texas? Figures!!

Good.

Wow talk about a school and its staff acting hypocritical and contradicting themselves is there not racist then what's the bloody issue with this teacher showing her support they should b supporting her alone with 1000s of other not fighting her on this SMH at that school !

Yes!!!! Keep schools free of political agendas

If she was warned to remove it and failed to do so, this is the correct response. No teacher should be allowed to express their political views, while on duty, on the taxpayer's dime, while teaching their children. We pay for education, not indoctrination.

In a plutocracy it seems that teachers cannot hold public political views just as politicians and their sycophants can't have ethics. They get disqualified if they do from the ruling class.

Good, why would a teacher support a terrorist organization?

Good! Since the BLM movement has been hijacked from its initial intent and is on the verge of being a terrorist group, I hope she never gets near another teaching job.

Works both ways

So she should have been fired. Are any Texas teachers permitted to have 'political' slogans on masks? & make no mistake, her slogan is political.

And here in Canada...public education supporting a domestic terrorist organization which is likely being funded by outside sources. These are the teachers who strike and work to rule at the drop of a hat screwing taxpayers, parents and kids over... SCDSB_Schools

Sad AF.

This teacher would of been more effective by allowing the students to create a BLM mural etc. And if her fellow faculty members were mistreated, by her claim, then she should of reported it!

Good. Wake up Canada. Please leave the “systematic racism” to the USA. Don’t bring this crap home, it kills more people than covid.

Her mask should of said ALL lives matter because I’m sure her class was filled of children that had different races, faiths, beliefs. Maybe she would still have her job.

Great news.. Finally ..

She deserves to be fired and shamed.

Good a teacher should be smart enough to know all lives matter

Good, teachers keep your politics at home and not in front of peoples kids!

Texas

Oh Texas

So, she broke the rules, was asked to stop, was asked again, and apparently again, and didn't, which resulted in termination. Sounds right to me!

mini_bubbly So much for free speech

She was asked to stop 2 weeks prior, as the school said they didn't want political messages on masks. She ignored their requests and paid the price. Great headline though , keep trying to keep racism alive

Good!

👍👍👍👍👍

Wow! A principled teacher is a treasure for our future. What a statement about the value of free speech and the right to peaceful protest. Guess she needed a MAGAZINE mask eh?

Good. Just wear a plain mask no one cares about your statement.

Keep your personal politics out of the schools please. Teach your subject only.

Good. Do not shove your personal beliefs on my kids. What I think of blm and the propaganda is my opinion.

She should be fired . How many cops have died CTV? how many? How much damage has been done?

Donald approves

Breaking: Two Canadians fired upon in Canada by Canadians:

Good. Adding this to all the other good comments on here.

Those types of expressions are not warranted in any school system!

good promoting a hate group that's more racist than the KKK ever was is evil. hopefully she's never allowed in a school again to promote bigotry and violence.

Good

Difficult decisions have to be made regarding activist behavior in the workplace.

Texas doesn't mess around, at all.

She should be school is not a politics arena

Good

No place for racism by teachers in schools.

Texas.. the cowboy version of Florida...

Good stuff. BLM is a bigoted marxist anti family terrorist group.

Tell the entire story CTV. You are known to have taken things out of context before.

Ridiculous

The world would be a happier place if teachers teach and not play political leader to kids. Totally unacceptable. I wouldn’t be allowed to wear that at work either. It’s just that it’s a left pushing terrorist group that were discussing this.

Good!!! What’s the difference between the KKK,ANTIFA and BLM Their T-Shirts!!!!

I hope the teachers in Ontario that support BLM are fired as well!!

details that would have been helpful in your first reporting - LAST WEEK!!

Good!

Good.

I would love to put my F*ck Trudeau sticker on my car and my mask whilst at work.

Good.

Only in Amerikkka VoteHimOut

When racists fight against racism. TheMinorityFiles

hahahaha... priceless!

It's the brain eating amoeba's fault.

Good. If Conservatives have to be bipartisan at work so should the Liberal leftists.
