The Kansas City Star reports:
A teacher was caught making racist remarks to an Asian couple in California, a TikTok video shows. Now she has been fired from her job at a Christian school in Temecula, the school said.
And her husband, a city worker for Coronado, has been placed on leave, according to a statement from the Coronado city manager.
The Asian couple was shopping in Newport Beach when they say the teacher and her husband began making anti-Asian comments about the two, according to an Instagram page that reshared the now deleted TikTok video.
The Daily Beast reports:
The unidentified Asian American couple said they were shopping at Fashion Island when the Millers walked by them, made eye contact, and said, “Ooh. COVID is gonna get you.”
The white couple allegedly continued to talk loud enough for the couple to hear, saying, “Those Chinese spreading COVID.”
They continued their rant when another Asian American family walked by, the couple who recorded the video told @jackfroot. “Go back to China,” they allegedly said. “Stop spreading COVID.”
There is a Tic Tok video at the link above.
Actually, based on current trends in our society (and even in many churches), I’m surprised she was fired.

Hello Nan. I get what you mean. I left out the twitter add on that say her husband worked for the city
This says he worked for Coronado and that was a pretty liberal place when I was there in the 1980’s. It was close to the San Degao naval base, which had lots of Asian people when I was there.
