Remove racist, xenophobic teacher Rafaela Kayryakoff from the Kent School District

The Issue

this petition is to let Leslie Hamada of the Kent School District in Washington State (e-mail: Leslie.Hamada@kent.k12.wa.us, Phone: (253) 263-0090) that the teacher Rafaela Kayryakoff of Panther Lake Elementary needs to be permanently removed from any position within the education system after her racist and xenophobic tweets. The actions of Rafaela Kayryakoff do not coincide with the views and beliefs of the Kent School District and to assign her a new role within the district is a disguising display of the acceptance of these beliefs. 

“One day last spring, a suspicious parent googled Kayryakoff’s name. Up popped her Twitter account – and a year’s worth of tweets that left a colleague who read them “shocked” – but somehow also not surprised, because of the way she treated the children.”

One of Kayryakoff’s tweets called Mexicans one of the “ridiculous immature vile cruel and extremely evil cultures that need to be genocided!”

Another called Mormonism “an illegally recognized religion that is covertly operating for the Muslim nation.”

“Jews dont belong in Christian countries what do they not understand?” read one tweet. “I only associate with dignified Christian people & more so focus on white Christian people We are the success in the world!” she tweeted on another occasion.”
