Beverly Hills High School fashion and design teacher Bella Ivory (left) and attorney Brad Gage (right) announce lawsuit against Beverly Hills High School
Two black teachers plan to sue Beverly Hills High School, alleging racism by pro-Trump students.
“We allege discrimination, harassment, retaliation, racial comments, physical threats,” said attorney Brad Gage in a press conference announcing the lawsuit.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that students at Beverly Hills High School were prohibited from holding demonstrations, which included jumping or shouting following Trump’s historic 2024 election victory.
In his email to parents, the school principal claimed that recent exercises of “student political speech over the past 2 days” have left “many students feeling unsafe and unwelcome.”
In response, a massive crowd of students gathered with Trump flags and pro-Trump apparel, apparently in protest of the school’s no-jumping and no-shouting mandate. It was incredible. WATCH:

Now, Bella Ivory, a fashion design teacher at Beverly Hills High, claims that she’s had past reports of racism ignored by the school and, recently, a “mob of kids” was allegedly “shouting ‘f*ck Kamala'” in the halls of the school. “The profanity towards our Vice President, who is part black, combined with students congregating in front of my classroom increased my fears and also the students’ fears who were locked inside of that room with me,” said Ivory in a press conference.
“When a school allows racism to flourish, children learn the wrong thing, and that breeds hatred,” said attorney Brad Gage.
In the clip below from Fox’s local affiliate, students with pro-Trump hats and flags are seen congregating in the hallway and allegedly attempting to enter her classroom where black students were supposedly “locked inside.”

Former Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz responded to the clip on X, appearing to cheer on the pro-Trump students for successfully triggering their leftist teacher. “Rise up, Kings!” he exclaimed.

Contrary to claims made by the Ivory, school security camera footage, obtained through a public records request simply shows some students “returning to class” as the crowd of pro-Trump students passed by at lunchtime, according to a conservative California mother, who goes by the Instagram handle @lady_with_a_brain. A small group of four students are seen outside the door “trying to go to class,” shaking the handle and knocking in the clip below. The video is overlayed with school board comments by Bella Ivory, claiming that she was “holding onto the handle” as the Kids in her room were “looking at me with so much fear in their eyes” and “saying, ‘Ms. Bella, please don’t open that door! Oh, my gosh, they look like KKK.'”
The woman behind the @lady_with_a_bran account told The Gateway Pundit, “The parents were blindsided” by claims of racism when Bella Ivory, who leads the Black Student Union group, organized kids to show up at the school board meeting and claim that they were being targeted in pre-written speeches. “We could find no student who was there to corroborate that, so we don’t even know if it’s true that the kids were saying inappropriate stuff,” she said.
“Never did I think that I may be that person that was gonna get hurt,” said Ivory in her teary-eyed performance in front of the school board. “Kids [were] banging on the door and rattling the handle, and I’m holding onto the handle just thinking, Oh, my gosh, if they get in here, what am I going to do because I have to protect these kids.”
@lady_with_a_brain posted the video on her Instagram page, commenting,
Anyone normal want a job teaching high school fashion design? There will be a job opening up soon at Beverly Hills High School.
Video footage obtained from BHUSD via a Public Records Act request conclusively disproves claims of racism and threats of violence allegedly perpetrated by teen students celebrating President Trump’s election at lunchtime last week. Security footage shows students peacefully walking back to class, and her own female students trying to enter the locked classroom after the lunch period ended to go to class, not to do harm to anyone inside.

In another clip reportedly recorded on November 8, 2024, the teacher is heard threatening to “come for” students and parents in an inappropriate rant.
Watch below:
Bella Ivory: I will not be made a mark, and my son will not be walking around with a target on his back. It needs to stop. It needs to stop. So, in this room, it’s all about respect. I don’t care what you say about [inaudible]. Do not write another message to me on anything outside of my class.
I will say this, if anything happens to me at the school, my family will come for your families. If anything happens to my son at BV, I will come for their families. This is not what school is about.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire: Beverly Hills High School teacher at center of fake racism hoax is recorded on November 8th THREATENING THE FAMILIES OF HER TEENAGE STUDENTS if “anything happens” to her at the school. Students are reporting this IS NOT the first time she has threatened them.
The backstory: Students at Beverly Hills High School celebrated President Trump’s victory on November 6th and 7th, which angered Harris-supporting teachers, staff, and other students. The Harris supporters took to social media, the LA Times, and the Beverly Hills Courier to smear the Trump supporters and their families with defamatory accusations. A teacher then organized several students to give public comment at the School Board meeting to make baseless and vague allegations of ongoing racism against the District, alleging the students who celebrated Trump’s victory were essentially rioting. School security surveillance video evidence has disproven all allegations, but it gets worse — the teacher was recorded threatening her students and their families.
@latimes and @beverlyhillscourier owe the entire city of Beverly Hills an apology ASAP, this teacher must be placed on leave immediately, and a criminal investigation must be opened by @bhpd_90210 as soon as possible.
Further, we need to seriously reconsider policies that prohibit phones or other devices in classrooms. These recordings are invaluable evidence for proving criminal behavior or other wrongdoing by teachers against students.
