Angered by a local TV station’s coverage of a protest in which she was filmed saying ‘f*** transgenderism,’ Marissa Darlingh, a former Allen-Field Elementary School counselor, said her home has been vandalised.
Radical Feminist School Counselor Fired After Shouting ‘F*** Transgenderism’ At Rally
In September, after the rally footage emerged, Darlingh was suspended and later fired. She is now suing the Milwaukee Public School District/ Wisconsin Department of Public Investigation for violating the right to free speech via the First Amendment by terminating her employment. With that being said, she was very vocal about how much she had suffered.
In her comments, she said: “The actions taken by DPI and MPS opened me up to harassment, doxxing, stalking and a protest staged outside of my home on June 18 during which several community members, including at least two of my coworkers, picketed, littered and vandalised my property.”
In addition, she said that she had a ‘duty’ to speak up since the issue of gender ideology impacts the welfare of her students. In the past, Darlingh has described herself as a radical feminist and said a “child cannot be born in the wrong body.”
In her comments at the time of the rally, she remarked: “I oppose gender ideology ever entering the walls of my school building. On my dead f****** dead body, will my students be exposed to the harms of gender identity ideology. F*** transgenderism.”
An investigation was launched against the former counselor shortly after she said those words. Some of Darlingh’s students were interviewed during the investigation and gave positive feedback about her.
In contrast, other teachers allegedly stated students didn’t have to see her for counseling services. The response on social media was very clear.
A significant proportion of people were of the view that this was a clear violation of freedom of speech regardless of whether or not you agreed with what Darlingh had said. One person wrote: “Free-speech is dead in Milwaukee.”
So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
