MESQUITE, Texas - Mesquite ISD says a Black elementary school teacher being investigated for racist posts on social media abruptly resigned.
The district says the now-former first-grade teacher at Thompson Elementary School will also never be allowed to work at the district again.
Mesquite ISD says it was made aware of the social media posts Monday afternoon.
Some parents forwarded FOX 4 the emails they sent to the district themselves, including screenshots of now-deleted posts.
Tuesday, the district wrote, "A teacher at Thompson Elementary posted a series of alarming, racist statements to X, formerly known as Twitter."
Mesquite ISD says it became aware of the posts at the end of the day Monday, the first day of the new school year. An investigation was launched immediately.
Several Mesquite parents emailed FOX 4 now-deleted screenshots of the teacher’s social media posts.
FOX 4 isn’t naming the teacher since the district hasn't released her name.
The teacher’s X account has since been deactivated. Her bio previously stated she is 29 and a Black supremacist.
Some of the tweets refer to the teacher threatening a white man’s life for spending time with her sister.
A screenshot of a text message the teacher posted says, "I’m trying to remain calm. She knows I’m racist."
