I think the headline is misleading. Based on the linked tweet, it seems that it should be "threatens to call the police" or something like that.

It's still quite ridiculous though. She kinda seems to be the Doctor Oz of math education.

Just for the record: "at no point did @minilek post @joboaler’s address. He only retweeted a post containing the information that she was paid $5000/hour by the Oxnard school district. This is neither “private details” nor “misinformation” "

I don't think it's as simple as that. I'm not a lawyer, but I think one could certainly be accused of inciting violence by telling the truth creatively, to the right audience, under the right circumstances (like Trump's tweets during Jan 6).

Yes, you are very clearly not a lawyer.

I think you are right. In the email she says the issue is "now being taken up by police and lawyers". Hopefully to no effect, but I guess she still wanted to talk to the manager.
