   A Texas school has reinstated a teacher put on administrative   
   leave because she adorned her virtual classroom with Black Lives   
   Matter and pro-LGBTQ posters, district officials said.   
      
   Taylor Likfa, an English teacher at Roma High School, was pulled   
   Sunday following complaints from parents about a background for   
   her virtual classroom that featured a BLM poster, a rainbow flag   
   and a Spanish solidarity phrase.   
      
   Lifka then posted a screenshot of her creation on social media   
   and was put on leave after refusing to remove the signs, just   
   one day before the first day of online classes, the Texas   
   Tribune reports.   
      
   District officials announced Wednesday she had been reinstated   
   following a review of the matter.   
      
   “Roma ISD was happy to have the opportunity to better understand   
   Ms. Lifka’s viewpoints and welcome Ms. Lifka back to the   
   classroom,” the statement reads. “The district stands behind the   
   concepts of equality and inclusivity.”   
      
   Roma Independent School District Superintendent Carlos Guzman   
   said he regrets that the virtual posters became a “point of   
   controversy” at the school in the border town of 11,000   
   residents.   
      
   “It was never the intention of the district to indicate anything   
   less than full support for the concepts of equality and student   
   safety,” Guzman said in a statement. “As educators and community   
   members, Roma ISD has an obligation to carefully listen to   
   parent concerns and respond to them, taking into consideration   
   the rights of employees and students.”   
      
   District officials said they told Lifka Tuesday she was no   
   longer on administrative leave and that she’d be able to keep   
   her original graphic for her virtual classroom as she initially   
   planned.   
      
   “She is being allowed that opportunity, provided that the use of   
   the virtual classroom background space in this instance does not   
   come to overly disrupt or detract from the educational process   
   or the learning environment,” the district’s statement continued.   
      
   Lifka, meanwhile, told NBC News she learned during a Zoom call   
   Wednesday that district officials were reversing their decision.   
      
   “They say I haven’t been punished, and that’s fine, but at the   
   same time I’m a human being and this has been challenging,”   
   Lifka said. “To think about re-entering the classroom tomorrow   
   gives me a lot of pause, because I need a moment to collect   
   myself.”   
      
   A school administrator told Lifka residents in the small town   
   were “not ready” for some of her progressive views, she told NBC   
   News.   
      
   “I need support from the administration, knowing I can re-enter   
   the classroom, that we are all on the same page knowing what I   
   can and cannot say to my students,” Lifka told the outlet.   
      
   More than 33,000 people had signed an online petition as of   
   Friday demanding Lifka’s reinstatement.   
      
   “Please sign this petition to let the school district know that   
   inclusivity and acceptance are not taboo ideas that deserve   
   censorship,” the petition reads.
