In a profanity-filled tweet, Vinita Hegwood, who teaches English at Duncanville High School in a Dallas suburb, stated:
“Who the [expletive] made you dumb duck a– crackers think I give a squat [expletive] about your opinions about my opinions RE: Ferguson?”
She then made a suggestion: “Kill yourselves.”
Let’s not be stupid enough to fall for all this divide-and-conquer, race-baiting propaganda perpetrated by our government and the elite-controlled mass media like this ignorant teacher. Communists are the actual enemy.
The school district confirmed it was aware of the tweet in a statement late Sunday:
“As an individual, Ms. Vinita Hegwood expressed an opinion on social media that is solely her own. She used her personal social media account to make remarks that are offensive. While everyone has the right to free speech, as a teacher in the district, we believe the comments that are alleged to be made by Ms. Hegwood are absolutely reprehensible and we do not condone it.”
Hegwood met with the school’s principal, the director of human resources and the district’s superintendent on Monday morning to discuss the online posting, reports KDFW-TV. After promising “swift action” the district announced her suspension:
“The district wants the community to know that the actions of this one individual does not and should not represent the school district. Every day, two hundred and forty Duncanville High School teachers provide a school environment that fosters academic excellence, good citizenship and respect for others. Teachers give their life’s work to shaping the future, and this one individual does not represent our staff or our district.”
“I can’t say it emphatically enough, the nature of the comments are reprehensible, and this district is about inclusion. It’s about diversity. It’s about respect for all people,” school official Lari Barager told the TV station.
Records show Hegwood has worked for the district for two years and has been an educator in Texas for 19 years.

This is the real racist. See everything as race.And genocide is the only answer.
I’m glad they suspended her. Her values are not what she needs to teach. I’d like to know when things turned so bad. in 1956-57 we were ask in our class how we felt about the blacks going to our school. I really didn’t care, but my question was what was wrong with their school. Any way Martin Luther King got things going with all the peaceable marches. Then they shown them going into a new white school. I thought it was fine. At the time my family lived in Austin. We were told some of our students would be bused to another school so there would be enough room for the blacks. That wouldn’t be too bad except my kids were still young and we only lived about 4 blocks from our school. That is why we bought our house. But if they were bused to another school they would have to leave at 6:30 in order to pick up all the white kids to move them to a black school. I didn’t understand why we were the ones having to give way to budding our kids to a black. If they weren’t being taught right there, neither would our kids. Needless we moved to a small town where all taxes went to the same school, but my child didn’t have to be bused across town. Now the whites were the ones having to give in Austin so the blacks could have a better education. I didn’t see anything wrong with that, but they should have moved into the neighborhood instead of us sending kids across town. We gave then and we are still giving. So we can’t be racist
now there is one strange educated ? teacher! thanks for that racist remark
No I don’t think so
As ugly as she is do the world a favor
