The superintendent ‘reminded’ her of the ‘expectations regarding professional conduct’
Following Election Day, a Texas school’s head band director posted a video on social media calling for people for get “revenge” on Republicans.
As reported by Libs of TikTok on X, Westbrook Intermediate School’s Jane Maloy told her viewers “Please do not forget that one of the major reasons that people came out to the polls en masse more than any mid-term election before and voted blue down the ballot is because we had to be a witness to horrific violence for the past two years.
“I understand that ‘revenge’ is a big word, but we need to hold these people accountable and get justice for these families that died at the hands of the Republican Party.”
According to its website, Westbrook Intermediate is an “innovative learning community Where Individual Success is actualized” and which “advance[s] all students toward a lifetime of learning as valuable members of society with options for their futures.”
It also claims to “embrace diversity and empower students through authentic learning experiences.” Maloy is a 14-year veteran teacher.
Clear Creek Independent School District Superintendent Karen Engle responded to concerns of Maloy’s video by saying the district “takes concerns about employee professionalism seriously, particularly when public statements may affect the confidence of students, parents, and the community.”
Engle noted Maloy “deleted the post in question from her personal social media account” and was “reminded” of the district’s “expectations.”
According to the “Personal Use of Electronic Media” section of the district’s employee handbook, employees “are responsible for their public conduct even when they are not acting as district employees.”
District personnel also are not permitted to “set up or update” personal social media using district equipment or networks (there’s no indication Maloy did this).
In addition, the handbook’s standards of “Professional Ethical Conduct, Practices, and Performance” include sections about making “threats,” and being “of good moral character and be worthy to instruct or supervise the youth.”
Maloy not only deleted the video in question, but appears to have deleted her entire TikTok account. Her Instagram, which as of Thursday morning was merely set to private (visible were her pronouns of “she/her” and a self-description that she’s a “crazy band director”) ended up being deleted by the end of that day.
Jane Maloy, the head band director for Westbrook Intermediate School (@ClearCreekISD) in Texas, says that Democrats should enact “revenge” on Republicans once they get into office. We reached out to the teacher and school for comment, but they did not respond. Would you want this person teaching your kids?

On a band page (which includes a disclaimer that it’s not “affiliated” with Westbrook or the district), Maloy includes as reasons to join her school band to “learn how to be more personally responsible” and “learn how to respond appropriately to failures and successes.”
