A Texas elementary school teacher has been fired after she shared a slew of “racist” social media posts — including one saying she “likes being racist” and another complaining about her sister dating a white man.
The teacher, named Danielle Allen, 29, lost her job after the Mesquite Independent School District said it was aware of “alarming, racist” comments she shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“As of this morning, the employee is no longer a part of the Mesquite ISD organization and is not eligible for reassignment,” the school authority said Tuesday.
The school system criticized her for the “deeply offensive” posts, in which she also boasted that she believed her job was “safe” because she “didn’t directly wish harm on ALL white people.”
The educator also reportedly described herself as a “Black Supremacist” on her X profile, but the account has since been deleted or removed.
Danielle Allen, 29, lost her job one day after her “abusive” messages surfaced on Monday
The educator, who appeared to be using an alias, posted a slew of “racist” comments on social media, including one in which she said, “I like being racist”
The teacher, who appeared to be using the alias “Claire Kyle” online, saw her abusive posts surface around 4 p.m. Monday when the school campus was tagged in one of her posts, district spokeswoman Laura Jobe said.
Jobe added that the teacher was no longer at school Tuesday morning and the school district issued a statement condemning her behavior “in the strongest terms.”
Among the posts, which have been deleted but screenshots continue to circulate on social media, was one that read, “A white man??? A good guy?? Do you smoke crack??’
“Why shouldn’t I hate white people? Why should I show you love at all?’ Allen continued in another post. “Name a great historical moment when white people would do anything for black people out of the goodness of your hearts?”
“I like being racist,” she wrote in one of the posts. “I never change.”
Allen also ranted in her car about her sister’s apparent relationship with a white man in a video, vowing to ruin the affair “with everything in my power.”
She added that watching the multiracial couple break up “would be so fun and so satisfying to watch,” and she allegedly even threatened to kill him.

The teacher wondered ‘why shouldn’t I hate white people?’
Allen said people have to be ‘smoking crack’ to believe a white man would be a ‘good guy’
The teacher reportedly told her employer that the messages were “just a joke,” but they didn’t see the funny side and she was out of work the next day
The Mesquite school district announced on Tuesday that she had quit her job as it slammed her posts and condemned her behavior “in the strongest terms”
In a tongue-in-cheek move, some of the screenshots appear to show the teacher bragging about how her posts wouldn’t get her fired, sparking anger online.
“First day of school, walking the halls while Twitter thinks they can take my job from me,” she wrote, “Call me any name under the sun, but you will NEVER be able to call me unemployed!!!”
In another post, she noted that people targeting her online had discovered work and brought it to the attention of her school.
“They told me to delete the post, but my job is safe because I didn’t directly wish ALL white people evil,” she said. “They laughed and told me to watch what I say, then I’ll be good to go.”
“Just talked to the school board and my job is safe. I told them it was a joke, and they know I’m not racist, so have fun.”
The teacher reportedly worked for the school district for four years and spent the last three years at Thompson Elementary, according to the Dallas morning news.
In the statement announcing she was leaving her post, the school system said, “About 4 p.m. yesterday, Mesquite ISD became aware of a series of alarming, racist statements on the X account (formerly Twitter) of a teacher at Thompson Elementary.
“When we learned of this situation, our human resources officers immediately launched an investigation. As of this morning, the employee is no longer part of the Mesquite ISD organization and is not eligible for reassignment.”
The authority added that it could not provide more details due to “privacy restrictions”.
“Nevertheless, the highly offensive statements on her X account do not reflect Mesquite ISK’s values and standards, and the district condemns them in the strongest terms.”
