A local school principal has been fired following comments seen as controversial in a social media post, reports WCAX.
Tiffany Riley, the now former Windsor School principal, recently made comments about the Black Lives Matter movement that were seen as controversial by some in the community.
In a post on her personal Facebook, she stated, “I firmly believe that Black Lives Matter, but I DO NOT agree with the coercive measures taken to get to this point.” Riley continued, ““While I understand the urgency to feel compelled to advocate for black lives, what about our fellow law enforcement? What about all others who advocate for and demand equity for all?” She also stated that she does not think people should be made to choose the black race over the human race.
Following the Mount Ascutney School Board’s vote to terminate her, Board Chair Elizabeth Burrows released an announcement of her firing on Monday.
According to the WCAX report, an evidentiary hearing will be taking place in the coming weeks.
