A Miami Dade art teacher has been reassigned from her school while the district reviews posts she shared on the Parler app, Local 10 reports.
The teacher, Audrey, told the station her principal asked her to stay home on Tuesday without a full explanation. Local 10 reports the district appears to have seen her Parler activity on Monday, and she has since been moved out of her school during the review. The station did not include an official statement from the district.
According to Local 10, the posts include a Proud Boys video, a quote from Donald Trump about fighting, and a photo from a Trump caravan in Doral with a comment suggesting drivers could run over protesters who block roads. She also reportedly forwarded a message from another user that said “hang Nancy Pelosi.”
Audrey told Local 10 she loves her students and her job, does not discuss politics at school, and knows of no school rule she broke. She said she believes she is free to express her views as long as she does not act on them. Speaking about the Pelosi message, she said she believes treasonous acts can be met with arrest or worse.
Parler, the app where the posts appeared, went offline after the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The district’s review is ongoing, and no final decision about the teacher’s job had been announced.
