Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson clapped back at a woman who tried to come for her on Twitter. The drama started when Jeanne Allen, CEO of the Center for Education Reform, took shots at Brunson with incorrect statements.

Allen went to social media to bash Brunson’s role in Abbott Elementary, saying she isn’t fit to play as a Philadelphia public school teacher because she only attended charter schools for her entire education.
“I’ll share it again. The creator, lead writer and co-producer of @AbbottElemABC @quintabrunson is from West Philly and attended charter schools her entire education,” Allen wrote on Twitter. “She reportedly loved it at the time, heaped praise on it. Once upon a time. Guess money talks.”

Brunson didn’t let the comment slide quietly.
“You’re wrong and bad at research. I only attended a charter for high school. My public elementary school was transitioned to charter over a decade after I left,” she wrote. “I did love my high school. That school is now defunct- which happens to charters often.”

Brunson also showed a sarcastic gratitude to her hater.
“Loving something doesn’t mean it can’t be critiqued. Thanks for watching the show,” she wrote.

Brunson’s supporters joined her in silencing the critic.
lol this is so funny tho bc the whole show criticizes parts about the American education system in general imagine being like “Quinta Brunson has an education so she can’t criticize schools”

It's a great show, but also a fictional comedy. I think someone's anger with education is misdirected
