Tweet Prompts Teacher's Removal From Prince George's County Public Schools Classroom
A Prince George's County Public Schools substitute teacher has been removed from the classroom after her tweet was flagged by parents.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A substitute teacher has been removed from the classroom at District Heights Elementary School after tweets she posted upset many parents, and were taken as scolding how they raised their children.
The tweet being scrutinized seems to have been posted to Twitter last Thursday under the account "@Mostly_hated." While the post to Twitter has since been deleted, social media users trolled the account and shared images of the tweet.
It read: "Black women raising boys, please stop letting ur sons pick up ur female traits!!! I have the b**chest boys in my class!! I know y’all have some men around somewhere! This sh*t is getting ridiculous!!"

Some people defended the teacher online, identified as Bianca Robinson by Fox5. Others said they wouldn't want her teaching their children.
"It doesn’t matter what people online say. Bigotry and disrespect integrated in young people is never acceptable," said Edward Burroughs III, a Prince George's County Education Committee member. "After reviewing the messages, most of them disturbed me deeply. She should be terminated immediately."
