Elementary School Teacher (Jane Wood Allen) Calls
Out The First Lady Referring To Her As An "Gorilla"

BHR Hollywood Reports...........The Forsyth County School System fired an educator Monday who apparently posted racist comments on her Facebook page about First Lady Michelle Obama.

The firing comes after a public outcry about the comments posted by paraprofessional Jane Wood Allen.

In one post from August, Allen reposted an article titled, “First Lady Michelle Obama continues to top lists of most admired women in the world. Do you admire her?” Allen then wrote her own caption above the article:

Jane Allen's Post 

“I admire a gorilla more than I admire her. (Wait I forgot, she is a gorilla)! If she was a real first lady, she would not have used and abused her title, by thinking she is entitled to go on all the trips that she takes every other day. But most of all, wasted all of our tax payers money. She is the worst example of a First Lady ever! (Oh sorry, I meant gorilla not First Lady)!”

Last week, Allen posted another disgraceful caption insulting the Michelle Obama. She posted an article from Americannews.com titled, “Outrage after Michelle Obama Slips Up…America Furious.” This time, Allen’s caption read:

“This poor Gorilla. How is she going to function in the real world, by not having her luxurious vacations paid for anymore? She needs to focus on getting a total make-over (especially the hair), instead of planning vacations!”

Allen posted on her Facebook page inflammatory comments about the First Lady while sharing articles about Mrs. Obama, according to screenshots shared on the social media site.

Allen worked as a paraprofessional, or teacher's aide, at Chestatee Elementary School.

In a statement Friday, District Communications Director Jennifer Caracciolo said, “"We were made aware of the posts Friday morning.

Our schools were closed for fall break last week. We have and will continue to address this issue with the employee on Monday. Racism and discrimination are not tolerated in Forsyth County Schools."

The posts on Allen's Facebook profile were later removed.

One post referred to the First Lady as a “poor Gorilla."

A group upset with the posting had started their own Facebook page, entitled “Chestatee Elementary School Fire Jane Wood Allen, NOW”.
