A New Hampshire teacher has been fired after she secretly escorted a pregnant special needs student to an abortion clinic. The female teacher, who has not been named to protect the identity of the student, admitted to her employer that she faked a sick day for the mission. She told staff she had food poisoning but instead drove a student to the medical facility, according to court documents. The teacher was listed as working for Regional Services and Education Center Inc, a nonprofit based in Amherst, according to the Boston Globe. The umbrella institution serves grade five to 12 students...

According to the redacted document, the teacher spoke to the student for weeks about her “options,” then brought her to the abortion clinic during school hours to end the life of her...

Low-income minority students from one chain of NYC charter schools rank #1 in my state in math. Why do they do so well? Because school leaders have high expectations. And unlike government run schools, Success Academy innovates!

A white teacher in Sacramento County is suing his union for reserving one seat on its governing board for a non-white member — an issue of diversity versus discrimination that is percolating in courts across California. Isaac Newman, a high school social science teacher, said he wanted to run for a newly created position on the Elk Grove Education Association last December, but was barred from applying because the union created it last year as a “BIPOC seat,” available only to members who are Black, Indigenous or other people of color. “Union officials apparently believe that the best solution to...

Hundreds of New York City kids walked out of school Friday and staged a pro-Palestinian protest that was promoted by several radical teacher groups. Some 350 students had descended on the Department of Education headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan starting by 4 p.m.. They were seen waving signs on the front steps of the building calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and describing Israel’s military offensive on the region following the Oct. 7 terror attack as “genocide.” The walkout was organized by Teachers Unite and a handful of other groups, including NYC Educators for Palestine, the Palestine...

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — The 2024 HGTV Dream Home winner on Anastasia Island has been revealed. Marie Fratta, a teacher from Hawthorne, New York, was announced Wednesday on HGTV’s social media channels as the home’s winner in a video showing her being surprised with all of the prizes.

Fratta’s oldest daughter is already living on Florida’s East Coast, so they thought nabbing the home would be a good way to bring the family together. Action...

It happened in February. It’s a video where a teacher, Warren Smith, is seen engaging in a conversation with a student who alleged that J.K. Rowling was transphobic. It quickly went viral. In less than five minutes, Smith, uncondescending, forces the student to rethink his position. The student admits he feels like an idiot after the pair discussed the phrasing and logical trajectory of the debate about the Harry Potter creator who has become persona non grata for her views on gender despite being an ardent leftist. This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher...

A former gym teacher reached a settlement with a California public school district, after claiming she was wrongfully fired when she refused to lie to parents about their child's pronoun preference and hide her religious beliefs. Jessica Tapia will receive $360,000 from the Jurupa Unified School District after she was fired in 2022 and accused of proselytizing during class. The teacher said the district accused her of not calling a student by their preferred pronouns, but denies ever being asked by a student to do so in the first place. She claimed the district directed her to refer to students...

A mother has slammed her daughter's teacher for combing her locs out of her hair without permission and replacing them with braids. Micaela Varlack, from Columbus, Georgia, claimed four-year-old Londyn was left with painful inflammation following the bizarre incident. She said she and her daughter got their hair braided professionally at a salon for $150 three weeks earlier. But she told how when she picked Londyn up from pre-k at Childare Network on May 6 she was shocked by what the teacher had allegedly done. 'Monday, on May the 6th, I go to pick her up from the daycare,' she...

Here is yet another example of why our educational system is in such a sorry state. Back in February, high school teacher Warren Smith went viral after being asked by a student: "Do you still like [J.K. Rowling's] work, despite her bigoted opinions?" The conversation that followed was a masterclass in the Socratic method and critical thinking. In it, he asked a series of questions that forced the student to think critically about the assumptions he was making. Here is the brilliant exchange. (AT LINK) I've devoted four years of my life to this school, and yesterday it was like...

A defiant French teacher is still in the classroom after being fired by the Department of Education — crowing that the city “can’t touch me” despite the sexually-charged accusations that got her sacked, including making nearly 30,000 late-night texts to a schoolgirl. Dulaina Almonte, 33, lost her job at Harry S. Truman High School in The Bronx in 2020 after the Special Commissioner of Investigation substantiated claims of her creepy behavior with teens. “I can’t be guilty if I’m still a teacher,” Almonte — who now teaches at a Bronx charter school — boasted to The Post this week.

WASHINGTON — President Biden blurted Wednesday that one of his childhood Catholic school teachers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers — an assertion disproven by a simple check of publicly available NFL records. The 81-year-old president shared the false claim as he boasted of his connection to Wisconsin sports fans during a trip to the swing state. “My theology professor at the Catholic school I went to was a guy named Reilly — last name — and he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers,” Biden said in Racine, south of Milwaukee. “And he decided to become a...
