Overview

• A Maryland middle school teacher, Sabrina Khan-Williams, is under investigation for social media posts that denied the Oct. 7 Hamas music festival massacre and accused Israel of organ harvesting.
• Khan-Williams, who teaches world studies and diversity, equity, and inclusion at Tilden Middle School, has not been present at school since the investigation began.
• The school's principal, Sapna Hopkins, reported the incident to the school system department responsible for handling investigations of allegedly inappropriate employee actions.
• Parents and students at the school, many of whom are Jewish and have direct ties to Israel, have expressed outrage and distress over the posts.
• This incident follows two antisemitic incidents at the school in October, where drawings of swastikas were found on campus.
