News outlets report the Delaware State Education Association convened an emergency meeting Wednesday during which Mike Matthews resigned. Matthews used to run a blog in which he used crude terms to comment on female political figures and denigrated Muslims.
A statement from Delaware education advocacy nonprofit DelawareCAN Executive Director Atnre Alleyne also alluded to posts that "joke about child molestation and gang rape."
WHYY-FM was the first to report on the posts, which had been deleted but were accessible by the Wayback Machine.
A statement from the union says the posts were written prior to Matthews becoming an education and union member, but were nonetheless "completely inappropriate."
