A Burlington history teacher has been reassigned after being present at the January 6th riot at the US Capitol.
Initially, teacher Jeff Taff was suspended after parents complained about his comments concerning the riot. The Burlington School District says its investigation determined that Taff didn’t take part in the violence that day and didn’t break any district rules.
Instead of teaching US history this fall, he will teach world history and a social studies class. The district hasn’t offered a specific explanation for the switch in assignments at Burlington High School.
