My daughter just graduated and got her teaching degree and license... these stories scare the crap out of me knowing she is now job hunting...
Tell her to get a job at a parochial school.

Plenty of districts where such BS is not tolerated
Tell her to be very mercenary about looking for work. Good schools need good teachers and she deserves to be at one and they deserve her. Students by the time they reach Jr High are beyond any ability to affect their character to become better people, so there is no hope from them if they come from bad backgrounds. A year or two lost in income is worth it to end up at a school you can do your job at without worrying about being beaten by an unruly student.
Taiwan is hiring certified teachers from the United States to teach English in their public schools. Students will treat her with respect.
Friend of mine’s daughter is a private home school teacher, sets her own schedule, salary, and students.
Have her look in majority white rural districts. Those kids still have respect and values.
