Controversies and Trivia :

In 2018, Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) released a set of emails from angry citizens all over the country requesting the sack of Yvette from Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.
In fact, the emails, when compiled, almost made up 150 pages. Although Yvette sued the district for releasing this information, the charge was dropped as the judge ruled that she could not ‘stop the district from releasing public information.’
Yvette was not fired as the court ruled that she cannot be relieved of her duties unless she is actually convicted of the offense. She was, however, put on paid leave for questionable activities, although she was allowed to return to work ever since.

She was once arrested and charged with suspicion of battery, rioting, obstruction, and resisting arrest in 2016, and in a released video, Felarca was shown to repeatedly punch a member of a white nationalist group called the Traditionalist Worker Party.
While reacting to the charges in court, Felarca argued that “standing up to fascism is not a crime.” She also claimed she was acting in self-defense while her attorney blamed the police for not intervening earlier.
In a December 2014 op-ed by Diane Emmett, Yvette’s actions during the “Black Lives Matter” protests were denounced by Diane and was said to be counterproductive to any progress in her movement.

In 2017, An Alameda County court commissioner, Thomas Rasch, ordered Felarca to pay $11,100 in legal fees to the former head of the Berkeley College Republicans, Troy Warden, after he decided that the civil harassment restraining order request from Yvette against Troy “was not brought in good faith.”
