Overview
- Fort Worth ISD announced it reassigned Shayma Alzubi, who had been named principal of Western Hills High School, while the district investigates past social media posts that staff say may not align with policy.
- Screenshots circulated online show posts from Alzubi that include a defense of Sharia law, support for Black Lives Matter, backing mask mandates and pro‑Palestinian statements.
- Local conservative activists and outlet reporting prompted the district review, and Alzubi’s public profile was removed from the FWISD website while she did not respond to requests for comment.
- Members of the Texas State Board of Education have publicly urged probes into possible ethics violations, and FWISD cited a state rule requiring political neutrality in classrooms as part of its rationale.
- Supporters describe the reassignment as religious and political discrimination and plan public advocacy, while the episode highlights how social media amplification can quickly reshape school hiring and trigger broader oversight.
