Jane Wood Allen learned the hard way on Monday after she was fired for posting comments on Facebook calling First Lady Michelle Obama a gorilla. Prior to Monday, Jane worked as a teacher’s aide at Gainesville’s Chestatee Elementary School.
via AJC: A release from Forsyth County Schools says:
“Racism and discrimination are not tolerated in our school district. We are committed to ongoing staff training on the acceptance of all individuals. As this is a personnel matter, the district will provide no further comment.”
Allen threw herself into the spotlight when she wrote a response to the Facebook site Opposing Views, which noted that First Lady Obama continues to top the list of most admired women.
