California teacher placed on leave after posting anti-white militia video
A special-education teacher in Madera Unified was suspended after Instagram videos claimed she was forming a black militia and threatened to rob white people.
Kenisha Daily, a special-education teacher at Lincoln Elementary in the Madera Unified School District, posted Instagram videos stating she was starting a black militia and intending to rob white people, showing herself with a long gun and a handgun. The posts, reported by KFSN-TV, provoked outrage among residents, prompting the district to place her on administrative leave and a court to issue a temporary restraining order.
Daily later issued an apology, describing the content as entertainment and expressing remorse for any alarm caused. Law enforcement officials are reviewing the footage as part of an ongoing investigation. Despite the leave, Daily remains listed on the school's staff directory. The case highlights concerns over extremist rhetoric by educators and district response protocols.
