A Maryland teacher has reportedly been suspended after being accused of spreading antisemitic social media posts.

Angela Wolf, an English teacher at Takoma Park Middle School in Silver Spring, Maryland, and a Montgomery County Education Association board member, shared numerous posts blasting Israel and allegedly shared a list of wealthy Jews in her county slamming them as “gluttons and thieves.”

After the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel, Wolf posted numerous messages, including praise for the “bus operators at Dulles who refused to transport Zionists to the pro Israel rally” and said, “Their solidarity with the victims of Israeli genocide should be commended.”

According to reports, the Montgomery County educator has a long history of antisemitic commentary, including a 2020 post in which she posted a list of local billionaires, who mostly were Jewish, and called them “the gluttons and thieves.”

“None of these people invented anything useful and are have done a damn thing to further the needs of communities,” Wolf said on Facebook.

“They are gluttons and thieves,” she said. “They accumulated this kind of wealth through abusing workers.”

Wolf has defended her post, saying she had “no idea these billionaires are Jewish.”

She added, “People are angry at teachers or a particular politician or the poor. I have read no attacks on the 1% … who have NOT ‘earned their wealth.’”

Takoma Park Middle School responded to the numerous social media posts.

“I was extremely saddened and disappointed by the content of these posts,” Takoma Park principal Erin Martin wrote on Nov. 30, adding that she “strongly condemn[s] the views expressed as they do not align with our school’s values of inclusivity, respect and acceptance.”

Wolf is an official for one of the largest local teacher unions in the country, representing 14,000 educators.
