How do you feel about people who call the employer of someone who posts something racist or homophobic on social media?

I don’t know if this is a new trend but I see a lot of this these days, especially the past month.

For example: a local activist I follow on FB continually blasts people for saying racists things. He shares the person’s FB page and screenshots the offensive posts. His followers then contact the person’s employer to tell them of the racist things they said.

Today he is blasting a school teacher. There’s a news post about a black man who assaulted a nurse at a health clinic. The teacher posted this “I’m waiting for the outcry over this because he’s black and really didn’t mean to do it.”

Should her employer, a local school district, be contacted because of her comments on Facebook?

I’ll put this in social if anyone wants to chime in on cancel culture in the entertainment industry as well.
