When Alzubi\u2019s personal social media posts promoting Sharia law came to light, sparking community concerns, district leaders temporarily reassigned Alzubi<\/a> pending an investigation into whether her posts aligned with the district\u2019s staff social media policies.<\/p>\n The Council on American\u2011Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its Texas chapter then filed a federal lawsuit<\/a> on Alzubi\u2019s behalf, accusing Fort Worth ISD of yielding to \u201canti\u2011Muslim, anti\u2011Palestinian hysteria\u201d and punishing her constitutionally protected speech.<\/p>\n CAIR bills itself as the nation\u2019s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, but Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a> has\u00a0designated\u00a0CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization<\/a> for the purposes of enforcing Texas laws.<\/p>\n Several speakers at Tuesday night\u2019s school board meeting<\/a> said they represented Faith Power Alliance<\/a>, a Dallas-based group formed in December 2025 to \u201corganize American Muslims,\u201d build \u201cgrassroots political power,\u201d and advance \u201can Islamic intellectual and political framework.\u201d<\/p>\n They echoed CAIR\u2019s complaint that the district\u2019s investigation was motivated entirely by anti-Muslim animus.<\/p>\n The Islamic activists were joined by district teachers, students, and residents praising Alzubi\u2019s job performance and calling on the board to reinstate her to the principal position.<\/p>\n A handful of speakers rejected attempts to frame community concerns as \u201cIslamophobia\u201d and \u201canti-Muslim hysteria.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI fought for freedom for this country,\u201d said Navy veteran Ashley Louden. \u201cWhen someone in a position of authority over our children publicly promotes ideas that are unconstitutional and a threat to that same freedom, stating she wants some form of Sharia law in public schools, this board has every right to be concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBy screaming Islamophobia, they\u2019re hoping we won\u2019t discuss the real issue: whether someone entrusted with educating our children should publicly promote or defend an ideology that conflicts with the principles of equal protection, equal justice, and one law for all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cParents must remain free to question public officials and public policies without being smeared for raising concerns,\u201d added Louden. \u201cWe do not ask anyone to abandon their faith. We ask public officials to uphold the Constitution while serving in positions of authority over our children.\u201d<\/p>\n Fort Worth ISD\u2019s policy<\/a> governing employees\u2019 personal use of social media states:<\/p>\n All employees shall be held to the same professional standards in their public use of electronic communication as for any other public conduct. If an employee\u2019s use of electronic communication violates state or federal law or District policy, or interferes with the employee\u2019s ability to effectively perform his or her job duties, the employee is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.<\/p>\n Alzubi has worked<\/a> for Fort Worth ISD as a teacher and assistant principal for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
