We call for the resignation of DR School Committee member Katie Ferreira-Aubin
We call for the resignation of DR School Committee member Katie Ferreira-Aubin
The Issue
Anything that a School Committee member says or does reflects directly upon our school district. School Committee member Katie Ferreira-Aubin of Rehoboth recently made statements on TikTok, a popular social media platform, comparing the COVID vaccine and/or vaccination cards to the Holocaust. Ms. Ferreira-Aubin has broken the Code of Ethics set forth by the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee, as confirmed by School Committee Chair Aaron Morse. The Code of Ethics clearly states that sitting members must “remember that she/he represents the community/district at all times.”
As a parent of a child in this school district, and also a person of Jewish heritage, I find her statements horrifying. In addition, these are not the only actions she has taken on her Tiktok that are of concern. Ms. Ferreira-Aubin has also made appalling statements about gender identity, racially motivated comments, and continuously shows profanity at the camera. The statements made and actions taken by School Committee member Katie Ferreira-Aubin are ignorant and disrespectful, and her defense of them is inexcusable.
Our students are also active users of social media. School Committee members should be setting the example on responsible use of social media. If a student or teacher was found to have posts like these, they would be held accountable, and disciplinary actions would take place. Action would be taken! Ms. Ferreira-Aubin must be held accountable for her despicable comments, profane gestures, and comparisons to the horrors of the Holocaust. She has broken the code of ethics she swore to abide by, and should no longer hold office.
Please sign this petition and let the members of the Dighton-Rehoboth School Committee know that actions need to be taken in response to Katie Ferreira-Aubin’s actions. Since there is no recall process in the Regional Agreement for a School Committee member, the voters of Rehoboth must do what we can to hold them accountable. For the sake of our students and our town, Katie Ferreira-Aubin must resign.
