Okay. More info leaking out. I can’t say whether it’s accurate, but I suspect it is.
The name of the teacher is out there. The name of the college she attended is out there. It’s UMass-Boston.
According to a local talk show, the student was applying to UMass-Boston and asked this teacher to write a LOR for him because she’s an alum and he hoped a letter from an alum would be given more weight. She agreed to do it.
The incident with the swastika took place in a class about the Holocaust. A Jewish student objected to the swastika. Student took it down but said something along the lines of " Hitler should have burned you with the rest of them" or words quite similar to that.
The teacher who wrote the LOR is Jewish. She called UMass-Boston and said she wanted to withdraw her rec and why she did.
Seriously? She gets disciplined for this!!!
She told the kid she withdrew the LOR. He told his mom. Mom hired a lawyer who is complaining that he is being harassed by teachers . Teacher was suspended without pay for 20 days to be served two days per week for 10 weeks for bullying a student and conduct unbecoming a teacher.
