Done & dusted, she’s been fired. Leaving her plenty of time to arrange her tin foil hat collection.
“…expressed deep remorse.”
That she got caught.
Well they’re trying to make it illegal to teach actual history in schools, what the hell else is she supposed to talk about
that’s what happens when you let Non-Critical Trump Theory to be taught in your schools.
Unless that means “never has any contact with students ever again” and “their only responsibility is cleaning school property”, not good enough.
So, what’s wrong with being a janitor?
Not a damn thing. It’s the only way she can be useful to the school and be in a position to not have any contact with students or policy.
Yet, you think doing that job should be a punishment? Okay.
No, you’re reading into it. If she’s still getting paid, she better be doing something useful.
No, you’re treating a necessary job like a punishment for bad behavior.
OK, so name another position she can be useful to the school, not have policy impact and not have necessary contact with students.
Or… maybe she should not work in a school or work with children, if she can’t keep her “politics” to herself?
The school district doesn’t owe her a job at all.
All work has dignity.
Well, is she white? /s
JK, of course she’s white or else she’d be fired by now.
Reboing!
This post has an updated version of the story though; last we’d heard she was still in the classroom.
