Now an occasional teacher for the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board, she was working for a different school board when 'deeply offensive behaviour' took place
A Northern Ontario teacher who now works for the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board is facing disciplinary action for discouraging people from wearing masks and getting vaccinated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She is currently employed by the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board as an occasional teacher, according to the discipline committee's decision. Schmoll’s posts discouraged people from wearing masks or getting vaccinated and complying with government and other official directives about such measures. The posts also emphasized that vaccines were unsafe for children and compared restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic to directives from Nazis.
The board also stated in its letter that because she identified as a teacher working for the board, her anti-masking commentary “openly challenged the direction of the Ministry of Education and ultimately the board." “The member’s prompt action in removing her posts when the misconduct was brought to her attention does not excuse her failure to make responsible public statements with the understanding that teachers are held to a higher standard of behaviour in light of their privileged position in society,” reads the document.
