A Maryland teachers union leader has reportedly been suspended after being accused of spreading anti-Semitism online, including a list of wealthy Jews she called “gluttons and thieves.”
Angela Wolf, who also heads an English department at Takoma Park High School in left-leaning Montgomery County, wrote a series of anti-Israel rants online that ultimately got her bosses to send her home, the Daily Wire reported.
In December 2022, he even went so far as to publish the names and alleged net worth of five wealthy locals with Jewish surnames, accusing them of being criminals.
“None of these people invented anything useful and they are [sic] “We have done a lot to meet the needs of the communities,” Wolf wrote on Facebook.
“They are gluttons and thieves,” he said. “They accumulated this kind of wealth by abusing workers.”
Only four of the benefactors listed are actually Jewish, according to the Daily Wire.

School officials finally had enough and suspended Wolf after writing a letter to parents.
“I was very saddened and disappointed by the content of these posts,” Takoma Park Principal Erin Martin wrote on Nov. 30, “and I strongly condemn the views expressed because they do not align with our values of inclusion, respect and acceptance. school”.
Martin said the district has launched an investigation, but noted it is a private “personnel matter.”
Wolf, who heads the school’s English language development department, which focuses on teaching immigrant children, is on the board of directors of the Montgomery County Education Association, which has 14,000 members.
She defended the publication of the list of wealthy locals, saying she “had no idea that these billionaires are Jewish or that my choice of words had historical significance to the Jewish community,” the Daily Wire told the Daily Wire.
“The diatribe against these two words has turned the discussion into a fallacious attack,” he said. “People are angry with teachers, with a particular politician or with the poor. “I have not read any attacks against the 1%… who have NOT ‘earned their wealth.’”
