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.
Her Facebook posts included a drawing of an Israeli tank pointing a tank’s gun at babies in a hospital NICU, and saying “enemy in sight!” As the war wages against the Hamas terrorists who murdered over 1,200 Israelis on October 7, she has posted frequently against Israel. On November 16, she commended “bus operators at Dulles who refused to transport Zionists to the pro Israel rally,” adding that “their solidarity with the victims of Israeli genocide should be commended.”
On October 28, she shared a post saying, “It is not a war — it is a slaughter. Israel determined to make Gaza uninhabitable.”
Last December, well before the conflict in Israel, she wrote:
Four of the five of the billionaires she named are Jewish except Saul, who happens to have a common Jewish name.
In response to criticism, she claimed — referring the the group of people with names like Rubenstein — that she had “no idea these billionaires are Jewish or that my word choice had an [sic] historic significance for the Jewish community. The diatribe against these two words has turned the discussion into a fallacious attack … People are angry at teachers or a particular politician or the poor. I have read no attacks on the 1% … who have NOT ‘earned’ ‘their wealth.’”
She said “they use their accumulated wealth to further their own interests” and blamed their hoarding for students falling behind while teachers unions refused to work because of COVID. “There should be little question that staying home should NOT equal mental health crises for kids and communities angry because school staff also need to be home,” she wrote.
When someone else criticized her for her anti-Semitic posts, she responded by calling former President Donald Trump a “scumbag” and said, “Fear is leading to censorship. I hope this person gets anti-imperialism and joins us in the struggle … No war but class war!”
On November 30, Takoma Park Middle School Principal Erin Martin wrote a letter to parents “to address a series of antisemitic online posts that appear to have been made by a staff member at our school.”
“I was extremely saddened and disappointed by the contents of these posts and strongly condemn the views expressed as they do not align with our school’s values of inclusivity, respect and acceptance,” Martin wrote.
We “have begun an investigation into the matter” but “any actions resulting from an investigation will be considered a personnel matter. Due to employee privacy laws, MCPS and Takoma Park Middle School are unable to provide further details on the personnel matter,” she wrote.
Teachers unions — like the one of which Wolf is a board member —a re largely responsible for such policies making it hard for to discipline a teacher or for the public to have transparency. Unions advocate vociferously for teachers accused of such wrongdoing to be reinstated.
Neither the union nor Wolf responded to a request for comment.
Her union is a far-Left organizing group with a heavy focus on race and diversity, equity and inclusion. There are indications that anti-Jewish sentiment is baked into DEI, including in Montgomery County Public Schools. DEI often casts whites as “settlers” and “colonizers” of America, and paints Jews in a similar light.
At nearby Tilden Middle School, Sabrina Khan-Williams, the “team leader/diversity, equity and inclusion teacher,” promoted outlandish conspiracy theories, such as the idea that Jewish people kill Palestinians to sell their organs, and that the well-documented attack in which Hamas paraglided into a rave was actually a hoax that never happened.
On November 9, another Montgomery County school, Clarksburg High School, approved an anti-Israel demonstration on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, and emailed parents to let them know of the opportunity to join the protest. It was “approved by school leadership” and “Absences due to the participation in the walk-out will be excused,” Principal Edward Owusu wrote.
Expanding on what I said, any hint that genetics may play a part in IQ and financial success is a horrible blasphemy to the Left.
Jews, as a group, throw that into the Left’s faces. Thus they are hated.
I have lived in Germany. I have been to Dachau. So horrifying was it that it drove me to the brink of insanity, me an enormously powerful man of towering intelligence and unshakeable stability, me of immense ego strength, me who have withstood enormous pain and adversity and prevailed steadfast, and yet me overwhelmed by the inability to comprehend such evil. The horror of the evil still overwhelms me.
And I was naive enough to think that everyone would react as I did.
Those who engage in the present recurrence of antisemitism are overwhelmed not by horror but by evil. They are blind, easily fooled, and stupid. Their decency and morality have descended into the depths of evil. No matter what morality they think drives them, they are fooled; it is nothing more than sheer evil. They are truly lost. They cannot understand where their stupidity has taken them and where this evil will lead them.
Evil is the ultimate stupidity, and those who have allowed themselves to be overwhelmed by antisemitism have descended to this ultimate of stupidity.
God help them! They are too stupid to help themselves!
bump to the top
Yes, they are starting to discover... and you're right on the IQ thing too...
Ping.
