A teacher from Fresno, California who allegedly recruited black people to "shoot some guns" and "rob some white people" has been banned from the school where she worked.
Kenisha Daily was a special education teacher at Madera Unified School District in Fresno, California, had posted some videos of herself on social media where she described creating a "black militia" for the tasks. In the videos, she was also seen loading a shotgun and pistol.

“Starting today, I’m starting a black militia. So if you’re black, if you want to shoot some guns, come find me,” she said in a video shown by ABC 30 KFSN. “We’re going to rob some white people.”

Over the weekend, the videos were reported to the school, where authorities immediately placed her on leave.
District officials contacted authorities in Fresno over concerns of Daily's statements along with worries about the community. This prompted a home visit from the police which led to a temporary restraining order against Daily. The incident is now being investigated by the police, according to a statement from the MUSD.

"Starting today, I'm starting a black militia," Daily was heard saying in her Instagram video. "So if you're black, if you want to shoot some guns, come find me. We're going to rob some white people," she continued.
Daily told ABC 30 Action News that she was cooperating with the police as the incident is being investigated and viewed the videos as "entertainment."
"For anyone who had been impacted or made to feel uncomfortable, I am truly sorry," she said in her statement. According to Daily, police spoke to her and found no threat in the situation, but an official statement from the authorities has not been released, although they confirmed they are aware of the situation and have seen the videos.
The outlet also reported that in March this year, Daily raised questions about the Fresno police's use of military equipment during a community meeting.
