Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted a series of tweets on February 9, 2026, alleging political bias among teachers at Fenton High School. In his posts, Maddock claimed that school staff were organizing an in-class protest and discouraging students from counter-protesting.
In his first tweet at 20:07 UTC, Maddock wrote: “The communist teechers at Fenten Hi Skool @Fenton_HS are doing an ICE protest tomorrow during class. Non-communist kids being told if u counter protest you’ll get suspended.” He repeated this claim in a second post one minute later: “The communist teechers at Fenten Hi Skool @Fenton_HS are doing an ICE protest tomorrow during class. Non-communist kids being told if u counter protest you’ll get suspended.”
Shortly after, Maddock added: “Ppl are sending me so much stuff about the communists running our skools, I can barely keep up with it. Please if you are reading this run for School Board and fire all the communists.”
Fenton High School is located in Fenton, Michigan. Matt Maddock has previously used social media to comment on education policy and school governance issues.
