Lawsuit: Olentangy school aide made to resign after linking COVID with China, PPE profits
Columbus Dispatch ^ | 11/09/2021 | Staff

An Olentangy Local School District employee of 13 years was forced to resign for comments she made linking the coronavirus to China and the country's subsequent profiting from personal protective equipment, according to a federal lawsuit filed last week.

The incident in April wasn't the only time Antoinette Evans, a 68-year-old study hall aide from Delaware County, has been disciplined for disruptive speech by the district, the fifth-largest in Ohio.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Columbus alleges that the district and three administrators at Olentangy Liberty High School, where Evans worked, "fabricated from Evans' innocent words bizarre accusations of bigotry, micro-aggressions against students and unprofessional conduct."

What school aide Antoinette Evans admits to saying On April 7, Evans was heard asking a student whom she was monitoring in a study hall, "Can you believe that the coronavirus came from China and that China is making money from sales of PPE to the United States?" according to the lawsuit.

Others, including an Asian student, heard the remark, and by the end of her work day, Evans had been sent an email telling her not to come to work the next day, pending a pre-disciplinary investigative meeting, the suit indicates.

The meeting, a week later, lasted about 45 minutes. Evans reported being "distressed and disoriented" and not understanding what she had done, according to the lawsuit.

The next day she was told that she could resign or be fired, the lawsuit alleges.

The left want you dead. The evidence grows. Now we can’t even speak.

“Evans’ attorney, Tom Condit, wrote in the suit that the district has promoted an extreme, liberal agenda and a pattern of Marxist/communist ideology, citing examples of Black Lives Matter, critical race theory, white privilege and Gay Pride campaigns. He said it is hypocritical to espouse equality in public schools when not all sides can be heard.”

Sometimes companies won’t say they fired you. Sometimes they tell you that they are “letting you go”. Same difference.You are abruptly separated from your work place either way. They have corporate lawyers on their side. You might have a lawyer, too, but they have bigger pockets than you do. They can wait the court system out. You can’t.

Who needs a vaccine lotto when you have all these jacka$$ school and administrator types affecting life and liberty of citizens, who should subsequently sue the school and employees individually for the taking of a Constitutional right!
