Forsyth County teacher Jane Wood Allen calls Michelle Obama "gorilla" on her Facebook page
A is under investigation after posting racially charged comments about First Lady Michelle Obama on her Facebook page
Several parents complained about the posts made by a page bearing the name of Jane Wood Allen, whose page said she works at Chestatee Elementary School in Gainesville.
The screen captures show the page sharing posts about the First Lady with disparaging commentary, calling Obama a "gorilla" and commenting on her appearance.
The facebook page has since been disabled.
One comment, on a post sharing an article saying "Michell Obama continues to top lists of most admired women in the world" shows the page saying she admires "a gorilla more than I admire her."
The comment continues, "(Wait I forgot, she is a gorilla)! … She is the worst example of a First Lady ever! (Oh sorry, I meant gorilla not First Lady)!
Reports: School officials aware of posts
Jennifer Caracciolo, spokeswoman for the school district, told the Forsyth County News officials were made aware of the posts Friday moing.
”Our schools are closed for fall break this week. We have and will continue to address this issue with the employee next week, Caracciolo told the newspaper. ”Racism and discrimination are not tolerated in Forsyth County Schools.
