Teacher's aide fired after calling Michelle Obama 'a gorilla' [View all]

A Georgia educator has been fired after Facebook posts repeatedly calling Michelle Obama a “gorilla.”

Jane Allen was a teacher's aide at Chestatee Elementary in Gainesville, northeast of Atlanta, when she posted a conservative news article about the First Lady taking vacations.

“This poor Gorilla. How is she going to function in the real world, by not having all of her luxurious vacations paid for anymore,” she said.

Next to an August article about Obama being one of the most admired women in the world, Allen said, “I admire a gorilla more that I admire her. (Wait I forgot, she is a gorilla)!”
