Texas Republican lawmaker and right-wing social media account bully trans Texas teacher out of job

A transgender teacher at a Texas high school resigned Monday after a state legislator and a widely followed right-wing social media account demanded her firing over an online video where she discussed feeling supported by her students, NBC News reports. Rosie Sandri, 33, stepped down from her position as a sophomore English teacher in the Dallas suburb of Red Oak after the online account Libs of TikTok, which frequently mocks LGBTQIA+ people, reposted one of her videos. The account, which has 4.3 million followers on X, lambasted Sandri and questioned whether she should be allowed to teach.
