Arantzazu Zuzene Galdos-Shapiro, an eighth-grade English teacher at W.E.B. Du Bois Regional Middle School in Great Barrington, has resigned, citing unsafe work conditions and rights violations. Her resignation follows an incident in December 2023 where police interrogated her in her classroom over the book "Gender Queer: A Memoir." Galdos-Shapiro filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school district, town officials, and police, alleging unlawful targeting and disclosure of personal information.
