A Brooklyn prep school teacher no longer has a job in wake of her anti-cop tweet related to the deaths of NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora, officials said Thursday.
Laura Lynne Duffy, a math teacher at Fontbonne Hall in Brooklyn, was suspended Wednesday for a post she made about a “dress down” event honoring the slain officers, who were gunned down in Harlem last month.
Proceeds were apparently to be donated to the families of the cops.
“If anyone was wondering, I am intentionally dressing up today. #Abolition #BLM,” Duffy wrote on the account, which had 69 followers and was set to private.
The Fontbonne fundraiser came the same day that thousands gathered for Mora’s funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
On Thursday, the private Catholic school said it had concluded a probe into the tweet.
