Published November 10, 2025

According to WSET, Morris teaches at George Washington High School in the Danville Public Schools district. A spokesperson for the district confirmed that local police are involved in the matter and that Morris “will not be present on school grounds while this matter is under investigation.”

The spokesperson added:

“We are aware of a recent social media post involving one of our employees that has caused concern within our school community. We take such matters very seriously, as the content shared does not reflect the values or expectations of professionalism that guide our division. Danville Public Schools remains committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all students and staff. Due to this being a personnel matter, no additional information can be shared at this time.”

The school district appears to have removed Morris’ information from the George Washington High School website. Morris’ Instagram account, which listed “she/her/hers” pronouns and described her as a “PhD / teacher / millennial / kinda cute”, has also been set to private.

The image shared by Morris appears to have originated from the Instagram account Dream for America, an organization that says it seeks to “inspire young Americans to defend democracy & fight fascism online, on-campus, & across the country.”

When contacted by The College Fix, Dream for America chief William He confirmed the image was “briefly shared” on the organization’s account, but said it was intended as “comedic commentary on recent events — not as an endorsement of violence or hostility toward any group.” He added:

“Once we realized how the image could be interpreted, it was immediately removed. Our group stands firmly for inclusion, empathy, and respect […] never to mock, threaten, or devalue others.”

At this time, Morris remains on administrative leave as the investigation by the district and local authorities continues. No further disciplinary actions have been confirmed.

   • School districts often have codes of conduct and social-media policies; violations may trigger investigations or disciplinary actions.

   • Trust in the school environment may be affected while the investigation is ongoing.

3. Social Media and Organizational Accountability

   • The involvement of Dream for America illustrates how third-party content shared online can create complications when reposted by individuals in professional roles.

   • Organizations and individuals alike may need to consider context, audience, and interpretation when sharing content publicly.

4. Community Response and Public Attention

   • Controversial posts by public figures, especially teachers, can attract media attention and spark debates about social media, identity, and workplace conduct.

   • Local authorities being involved highlights the seriousness with which such posts can be treated.

5. Privacy and Online Presence

   • The removal of Morris’ school and social media information indicates how institutions may act to limit public exposure during sensitive investigations.
