Maybe she just should have said that she had been in the girls restroom...
In PC America, teachers get fired for smelling like tobacco.
Yet in Indonesia, prostitutes get hired to roll tobacco into cigarettes.

It’s a strange world....
Let me understand this. The kid is getting a free public education PLUS one-on-one attention and it’s still not enough? Let the kid’s parents pay for the assistant of their choice. I’m tired of paying for it, smelly or not.
I’m sympathetic to the parents of special needs kids, but not to the idea that the taxpayers owe them millions of dollars worth of extra care.
The degenerate eduKKKrat vermin running the school would probably be fine with some filthy ablutophobic hippy freak who smells of pot-smoke, B.O., and pachouli oil, but cigarette smoke is unacceptable. I hope she sues their asses off.
Other than being a scientifically unsupportable opinion, I see no problem with this charge...
I hate the smell of fat people, and...
... never mind...
I had a neighbor across the street who had the worst odor I’ve ever known. It was mostly cigarette smoke, but I think it was also her teeth. The husband was also a heavy smoker, and their son was not popular partially because of the odor. I could smell her coming up the walk to my front door.
It wasn’t just me. It was the talk of the neighborhood. She tried to sell us a car once. Not on your life.
Their house was horrendous. Not really dirty, just incredibly smelly. When they moved, the entire inside had to be gutted, including the walls.
Barring all this, she was quite a nice lady. Just before she moved, she got a job in customer service and I couldn’t quite believe it. She stayed there years. I always wondered who hired her.
The political correct jihad against smoking is scary. And so is these zero tolerance laws. Zero tolerance is a classic symptom of over-centralization and bureaucracy in an organization or nation.
Our testosterone free leaders seem unable to stop it though.. they get lost in the process or deep down are political correctness jihadists themselves.
All I can do is laugh...hahahahahahaha!!!
Smoking is despicable.
The fact is, if a person smells of anything (including smoke) that adversely effects people around them there's nothing improper about warning them and letting them go if necessary.
No sympathy, would an adult be forced to work closey with or accept personal or intimate services from someone who’s smell was offensive?
Why should a kid have to, just because they’re a child? If the lady’s odor was noticeable enough to others that it becomes an issue, then I have no problem with termination.
She is an at-will employee. The employer can fire her if he didn’t like the color of her shoes.
A public school district?
A public school district?
However, the principal probably figured the "stinky smoker" reason would fly through unchallenged.
So.....before all of the ANTI-antismoking people jump in, there may be other forces at work.
Its not like this was a teacher sitting at the front of a room, many kids have allergies to smoke and apparently the one she was watching did. So do we keep subjecting the kid to the oder?
Eight Cigarettes a day does cause one to smell, is it the worst smell in the world? not by any means but enough to set of a reaction..
Denton High has (maybe no longer) had a drive way between the vocational wing and the main building... all smoking students use to hang and smoke there. Use to see teachers not far away smoking near a temp. building near the alley too... I'm sure no accommodations are made for smokers now, but I don't know.
DHS Class of '84... Go Broncos... hats off to you.
