Ex-teacher learns the hard way (Attacks conservative student on blog, gets fired)

For everybody commenting here, remember that this article is massively one-sided and initiated by the teacher herself who spoke to the reporter for hours (per her blog).

Since this is a personnel matter, the school is strangled into not being able to defend itself with her employment history, possible previous complaints for similar behavior with other students/parents, and the lengthy list of steps they might have engaged in to correct her abusive behavior.

Ex-employees can engage in astronomical lies and the long suffering past employer can only limit itself to brief neutral statements and then a stream of “no comments”. By law, they cannot violate the privacy of the ex-employees personnel and disciplinary records even when attacked by that employee publicly with absolute falsehoods.

By the way, here is her blog post about this article.... I responded to her blog with a comment that I found her behavior toward the student to be abusive. Funny thing, Miss "Free Speech" in violation of her employer's students and their parents privacy does not seem to believe in it on her blog - she did not approve my post. Somehow her blog is private property yet confidential information related to her employer's clients is NOT private property of the employer.

Typical liberal hypocrisy.

'...Collins said she was not sure she wants to return to the profession. "I feel so vulnerable," she said. "If something this weird can happen, I'm not sure that I want to do it again."

We can only hope. What a navel-gazing elitist.

A couple of years ago I was threatened with legal action by a school admin via email to Jim Thompson when I posted a paper my son’s English teacher wrote and distributed as an example of how to write an essay. The title was “Why a woman would make a good President”. It was filled with lust for Hillary and chock full of grammar and factual errors.

Freepers found the teacher’s email and proceeded a bombardment. Thin skinned as she was it reduced her to tears and thus the Admin’s threats.

Glad to see a school do the right thing for a change.
