Must not smile at a noose

What they did hurt no-one and insulted no-one but smiling was still a big deal

A shocking photograph of a group of teachers has sparked major controversy and lead to the group’s suspension from work.

The four female teachers — who work at Summerwind Elementary School in Southern California — were photographed smiling as they pointed to a noose.

The photograph was believed to have been taken by the school principal, Linda Brandts, who then emailed the photograph — as well as a second picture of the noose hanging on a wall in the staff offices — to all employees of the school, with no caption or context.

It was soon circulated on social media, sparking fury from the public, with many demanding the group be fired immediately over the morbid act.

The photo has enraged people across the world, with many condemning the women for appearing to celebrate a tool associated with suicide. “You women disgust me. You have no business in education. You deserve to be fired with professional reprimand,” one person wrote.
