Maryland School District Suspends Teachers Union Rep over Anti-Semitic List of Jews

A Maryland teacher is on leave while the school system investigates her for a string of anti-Semitic social media posts that included creating a list of wealthy Jews in her county, claiming they horde wealth while contributing nothing to society, and calling for “class war.”

Angela Wolf is head of the English Language Development department, which caters to immigrant children, at Takoma Park Middle School, in the most leftist enclave of liberal Montgomery County. Though she was temporarily removed from school, she remains a board member of the Montgomery County Education Association, one of the largest teachers union locals in the country representing 14,000 staff.

[I’d normally argue that her political beliefs outside the classroom should not be the subject of professional punishment, as long as she kept it outside of the classroom. The list of Jews that she posted a year ago — long before the current conflict — changes things somewhat. — Ed]
