Private school teacher loses her job over Israel-Hamas war posts

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. ā€“ A private school teacher was fired over her posts on social media about the Israel-Hamas war.

She worked at Pine Crest School, which has students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12 in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.

ā€œWhat happened on Oct. 7 didnā€™t come out of nowhere,ā€ she wrote in one of her posts.

Another post challenged the Hamas attack even happened. She claimed the stories of beheadings, rapes, and grandmothers murdered were fake.

ā€œDo your own research,ā€ she wrote on Instagram.

The school did not release a comment. On its site, the administration promises to promote ā€œa diverse school population and intolerance for discrimination.ā€
