The Roma High School teacher who was placed on paid administrative leave over inclusive imagery in her virtual classroom remains unsatisfied with the situation despite being reinstated to her position, demanding more action by the district before she returns to teaching.

The teacher, Taylor Lifka, was put on leave Sunday over Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ imagery. Roma ISD announced her reinstatement Wednesday and that she will be allowed to keep the images up.

For Lifka, however, this isn’t enough and doesn’t plan on returning to work until the district addresses additional concerns.

She didn’t teach Thursday and is not planning on teaching until the district outlines its policies for teachers supporting anti-racism concretely.
