BRYAN, TX — A Bryan ISD teacher's aide is no longer employed by the district after reports of an "unacceptable comment" left on a 25 News Facebook post Saturday.
The employee was a teachers aide at SFA Middle School and not a teacher, according to a district spokesperson.
A Facebook page belonging to a woman who's profile shows she works at SFA Middle School in Bryan replied to a 25 News poll asking whether you "support the protests by sports players over Jacob Blake's shooting?"
"Of course most of our pale counterpoints didn't. Y'all just love watching us participate in your events to make you all happy," said one viewer.
The SFA Middle School employee reportedly replied to that comment saying "last time I checked you colored folks are getting paid very well to keep us entertained. Why don't you get about your own people killing one another..."
The posting quickly circulated on social media, causing both Bryan ISD and SFA Middle School to put out the following statement:
"We are aware of an unacceptable comment made by an employee on a Facebook post unrelated to the school district. This comment does not represent the values of our district, and will not be condoned. This will be handled according to our employee code of conduct. This type of comment will not be tolerated in this school district."
The comment has since been deleted.
