    HISD Teacher Angela Box Says She's Sick of "Bacon-Haters" and "Goat-(expletive deleted) Muslims" on TV Show

    The Duncanville ISD school board voted to fire high school teacher Vinita Hegwood after she tweeted the statement, "Who the (expletive deleted) made you dumb (expletive deleted) crackers think I give a squat (expletive deleted) about your opinions re: #Ferguson? Kill yourselves."


    Hegwood was suspended without pay and later resigned. She also sent out a written statement apologizing for the profanity-laced tweet. It was still mandatory for the school board to vote on whether to terminate Hegwood's contract, despite the fact that she'd already opted to resign, and the board ultimately fired her. So Hegwood, who is black, was ultimately fired by the Duncanville school board for her Ferguson tweet, even after resigning and apologizing.


    But Box, who is white, is somehow cleared by HISD on First Amendment grounds and is free to educate the next generation of minority students, while foaming at the mouth over the bacon-haters and goat-fuckers.


    Totally seems fair.
