A Maryland teachers’ union official has been suspended after being accused of spreading antisemitism online, including a list of wealthy Jews she called “gluttons and thieves,” according to reports.
Angela Wolf, who also heads an English department at Takoma Park Middle School in lefty-leaning Montgomery County, penned a series of anti-Israel online rants that finally got her bosses to send her home, the Daily Wire reported.
In December 2022, she went so far as to post the names and alleged net worth of five wealthy locals with Jewish last names, accusing them of being crooks.
“None of these people invented anything useful and are [sic] have done a damn thing to further the needs of communities,” Wolf wrote on Facebook.
“They are gluttons and thieves,” she said. “They accumulated this kind of wealth through abusing workers.”
Only four of the listed do-gooders are actually Jewish, but the fifth has a Jewish last name, according to the Daily Wire.
But Wolf’s attacks continued this year and intensified following the Oct. 7 sneak attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists and the subsequent Israeli counter-offensive in the Gaza Strip, the posts show.
“It is not a war — it is a slaughter,” she wrote on Oct. 28. “Israel determined to make Gaza uninhabitable.”
In another post, she included a cartoon of an Israeli tank pointing its cannon at babies at a hospital with the caption, “Enemy in sight!”
Last month, she praised “bus operators at Dulles who refused to transport Zionists to the pro-Israel rally.
“Their solidarity with the victims of Israeli genocide should be commended,” she wrote.
School officials finally had enough, and suspended Wolf after penning a letter to parents.
“I was extremely saddened and disappointed by the content of these posts,” Takoma Park Principal Erin Martin wrote on Nov. 30, “and strongly condemn the views expressed as they do not align with our school’s values of inclusivity, respect and acceptance.”
Marin said the district launched an investigation, but noted it is a private “personnel matter.”
Wolf, who heads the school’s English Language Development department focusing on teaching immigrant children, sits on the board of the 14,000-member Montgomery County Education Association.
She defended posting the list of wealthy locals, saying that she had “no idea these billionaires are Jewish or that my word choice had an [sic] historic significance for the Jewish community,” the Daily Wire said.
“The diatribe against these two words has turned the discussion into a fallacious attack,” she said. “People are angry at teachers or a particular politician or the poor. I have read no attacks on the 1% … who have NOT ‘earned their wealth.'”
Wolf is the second Montgomery teacher placed on leave over antisemitic comments, according to WTOP News — last month, Sabrina Khan-Williams, a teacher at Tilden Middle School, was placed on administrative leave after her Facebook posts were deemed to be “antisemitic in nature.”
