[Luke Matheson]

A Texas middle school guidance counselor was fired after offensive comments were posted on her Facebook page following the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. Karon Wright was "immediately relieved of all duties" at Andrew Jackson Middle School.

The English in her supposed FB hack is flawed. Her other statements in regard to this are not. I'm leaning towards believing her just based on this short article. Of course there is very little info here. There has to be a "rest of the story" here as well.

I agree Pete. Either she was telling the truth and was hacked or somebody else authored her followup statement for her. No way the same person authored both unless she was purposely messing around on the 1st one.

On the flipside, getting hacked is one of the easiest things in the world to determine by any credible IT guy, especially if the hacker was as illiterate as that one must have been. Surely her employers, who can't help but know her well, would not have taken action w/o first getting to the bottom of whether she was hacked or not. If they did, they will and should be in alot of trouble.

This is one of those things that needs to be gotten right. If she is really of that kind of mindset, she has no business ever being around the children of taxpayers again. If she is innocent, she does not deserve to have her life destroyed for something she did not do. I hope the truth, whatever it is, comes out in the end.

I'd like to hear more of her writings from before this incident to try to determine which of the statements (vocabular, style etc.) is charateristic of her. No doubt those two statements don't appear to have been written by the same person.

Hacking a facebook account is not that hard to do. About 2 months ago, my daughters account was hacked and someone posted a few post about some of her friends. I know for a fact that my daughter was not the one who done it, because she was not at home when it happened and she had no internet access. She does not have a smart phone either.
If this lady's account was hacked, it should not be to hard to find proof. If she has a static IP, she should be able to find out the IP address of the post. On the other hand, if she did make the post then she got what she deserved.
