It just had to be a teacher from a school in West Texas to spout off about the incident in McKinney.

The teacher was fired from the Frenship Independent School District for suggesting in a social media post that perhaps we ought to re-segregate our public schools to avoid future melees like the one that erupted in McKinney, the one that got the police officer into so much trouble after he roughed up a bikini-clad 14-year-old girl.

That didn’t set well with Karen Fitzgibbons, a teacher at Bennett Elementary School, who said the officer, Eric Casebolt, shouldn’t have quit. “The blacks are the ones causing the problems and this ‘racial tension,” Fitzgibbons wrote on Facebook.

Alrighty.

But there’s more. “I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone,” Fitzgibbons also said. Her posts included the hashtag #imnotracist.

You got that last part? She says she’s not a racist. You know, my experience suggests that when people have to say they aren’t racist, well, that suggests something else.

The story is well-known. Casebolt responded to a pool party fracas that got out of hand. He wrestled the girl in the bikini to the ground, then pulled his service pistol on some boys who had come close to the action; the boys weren’t armed.

And, oh yes, the kids are mostly black; Casebolt is white.

Here we go … again.

Then a teacher from out here among us in West Texas shoots off her proverbial mouth.

Nice going, Ms. Fitzgibbons.
