FULL TITLE: White teacher is suspended for calling black suspects in Facebook Live torture video 'Obama's children' and railing against Muslims on Twitter

A high school teacher from West Virginia has been suspended with pay over a litany of racially charged and anti-Muslim tweets, including some posts targeting President Barack Obama.

Mary Durstein, a social studies teacher at Huntington High School, was asked to leave the campus on Monday after district officials in Cabell County were made aware of her vitriolic social media posts and comments dating back to at least 2015.

Posting under the user name 'pigpen63,' Durstein recently weighed in on a widely covered incident out of Chicago in which four black youths allegedly tortured a special-needs teenager and broadcast the attack on Facebook Live.

The suspects, Jordan Hill, 18; Tesfaye Cooper, 18; and sisters Brittany, 18, and Tanisha Covington, 24, were ultimately arrested on hate crime charges.

Someone posted a photo of the four suspects with the caption: 'Imagine if these were 4 white people torturing a special need black kid!'

Great post.

I rarely use social media. Except twitter to get the news here condensed to 128 characters for the masses :)

In a fit of silly anger without knowing the myriad reasons why he might not have been chosen, i took to twitter to voice my displeasure with Trump not appointing Rudy.

I was an instant hero of the left!!!! Had to rebuke 50 responses and say I AM A YUGE Trump fan and he and Rudy are getting along great, so it’s all good.

Once you type, it’s there forever!!!

“... a litany of racially charged and anti-Muslim tweets...”

Or, another way to say that, is “exercised his right to free speech.”

I dont think it’s such a great idea for a teacher to spout on Twitter.

Teachers spout on Twitter and in the classroom every day. It's Liberal spout.

You okay with that?

Further obama made this statement when he inserted himself in the trayvon debacle and said he could have been one of my sons.

You are not considering original source and context.

In the article, somehow some of her students found out her screen name and ratted her out to the Administration.

There’s an old saying. “It is what it is”

You wanna risk your job knowing the atmosphere we live in, which may WELL be gone soon with the new administration, you roll the dice and pay the price.

I would have liked to jog though central park after my evening shift, but it was imprudent.

Theoretically, I had The RIGHT to jog there, but then there’s reality.

Besides complaining about what happened to him, what are you going to do?

We voted in Trump. Let’s see what happens.
