 from 2020 Bonar)  Anti-fascist activist and teacher Yvette Felarca 
 continues to be prevented from returning to her classroom at Martin Luther 
 King Jr Middle School after being placed on administrative leave.After she 
 helped stop a neo-Nazi recruitment rally in Sacramento this summer, and was 
 stabbed in the process, terror threats were made against Ms. Felarca and 
 the school if she's not fired, and instead of defending the entire 
 community, including Ms. Felarca, the school district is capitulating to 
 the neo-Nazis' demands by removing her from her job.    The school district 
 also took some of her wages back out of her bank account. Both current and 
 former students continue to be pulled out of class and interrogated about 
 her, now with parental notification, but the nature of the 'interviews' are 
 being misrepresented.At the last school board meeting students from all 
 grade levels - elementary, middle, and high school, parents, fellow 
 teachers from Berkeley and Oakland, and a diverse range of community 
 members rallied in defense of Ms. Felarca. When board members refused to 
 disclose their personal positions on whether she should continue to teach, 
 and instead scurried off into a second, unagendized "closed session", the 
 community held its own meeting in the board room, with many more speaking 
 out. Video of the rally and school board meeting can be seen here:
