Michael Seabolt
Was the statement true?
He didn't mention anyone specific, so it is only your bias that is showing.
My 10th grade math teacher got his start coaching football, and he was constantly making remarks like this. He would also sit up front with a ruler while you did problems on the blackboard, and he hit you with the ruler if you messed up.
Guilty of sarcasm.
I hope the teacher sues the hell out of them.
White male. Automatically guilty.
It’s obvious they’re brainwashing the kids instead of instructing them to learn. Tide Pods!
Is the Marlin ISDs Board of Managers composed of snowflakes? They appear to be biased and guilty of a hate crime.
What were the test results?
Let me guess: Seaboldt has willingly participated in grade inflation, social promotion and the constant dumbing-down of curriculum. But pointing out students’ shortcomings is suddenly a problem?
Superintendent Seabolt takes a break from a busy day of surfing the Internet at his squeaky clean desk.
Didn’t see a picture of the board or the superintendent, but it looked like there was one white girl at the prom, and they have a segregated basketball team.
“Michael Seabolt”
Yep, I see the problem there.

Total Minority Enrollment (% of total) 93%

It may have been the low class testing, where no one could pass, but several of the school’s students are smart enough to pass this rather basic test (if those illiterates can read it).
The principal and board just can't handle the truth and are afraid to admit it because if they do they acknowledge the fact that THEY are the failures because THEY failed in THEIR duties and responsibilities to create a sound learning environment, along with discipline and stringent demands placed upon the students that would challenge, inspire and require the students to excell and learn.
Sometimes honesty is too much. LOL
Seriously though, as honest as the statement may have been, it is a thought that at exam time particularly is best left unspoken. It certainly would not likely have encouraged those who were struggling.
I think the teacher should only have been reprimanded, unless it was part of numerous such questionable events on the teachers part.
Can’t have a teacher talking like that and raising suspicions when scores are higher because answers have been changed before submitting the exams for grading.
And was he correct? Fired for being correct and sharing a factual statement?
Needs to happen more often!
“Seabolt said, prior to the incident, last month Kelley had filed a grievance for retaliation after learning his position was going to be eliminated.”
Teacher was already out the door, but looks like the Sup wanted to grind the guy under his heel before giving him the boot.
