A woman who was working as a substitute teacher posted a video to social media alleging she was fired by school officials for not "identifying with" a student who "identifies as a cat" after she refused to meow back at the child in class.
"Okay, okay. I've got to rant for a minute," the teacher says in a short TikTok video. Just when I thought school couldn't get any weirder, it did today."

No you can’t go to your box until you scratch out your test answers.
Is it really so hard to offer a meow to a student who thinks she’s a cat?? I’d go as far as to say petting a few students should be allowed. Right?
“figure out just why so many of our public school teachers are crazier than outhouse rats”
*raises hand*
Here’s at least a big part of the reason: Schools are actually run, and teachers controlled, by huge public-employee unions that are very influential and powerful.
Good teachers who want to help students and expect discipline, readiness, etc., all got run out of the teaching game years ago. There are probably some good ones left here and there, but you have to admit they are getting more and more scarce; that’s what your post and comment are about.
A union culture causes the quality of whatever that entity produces - in this case, learning - to go down. This is as predictable as whether the sun will rise every morning and set at night.
So, the good teachers decide to go elsewhere and the schools are flooded with bad, crappy, lazy teachers. A lot of them are perverts, too, not just bad teachers who graduated at the bottom of their teaching classes, but people who are interested in exploiting children. And the grade-school-aged children of today’s parents are prime game for this type of teacher, aren’t they?
Ending the DOE would make the problem go away.
(Another exercise you can do is replace the word “teach” with “police” in the paragraph above, and that may help illustrate the root of another problem we seem to be having today.)
Meow whats going to become of a person who identifies as a cat?
Not Babylon Bee?
I would have offered the “cat” some cat treats.
“I couldn’t stand to be around this woman for more than 30 minutes.”
LOL. One would have to go into extreme wife listening mode very quickly.
This sounds absurd, but there were girls in my niece’s high school in Evanston, IL who identified as cats so they didn’t have to do swim classes in PE.
“Excuse me, teacher, but I have to use the litter box.”
A friend of mine from church, who is a high school public school teacher, moved from one are high school to another, she said, because the teachers were afraid to walk down the halls in the high school, that the students won’t be disciplined, won’t get in trouble for anything and they know it.
Sounds like a toxic environment on many levels to me.
The teacher should’ve shined a laser pointer dot on the floor next to the student. Test that “identity”.
Instead of swimming, the cat-girls should have been required to gnaw the heads off small rodents . . . after carrying them around in their mouths for a time, making guttural yowling sounds.

I was an urban public school teacher for decades. So if you don’t mind, I’ll field that one. Yes, there are teachers who need to be fired immediately. They are too incompetent or biased to work even one more day.
But in my experience, teachers as a group are no crazier than, say, plumbers or chemists. The big difference is that teachers are always working before a large audience. So the bad ones get more immediate attention than, say, plumbers or chemists.
As a side note, I estimate that at most 10% of the teachers I’ve worked with were truly bad, and needed to go. And maybe another 50% were journeymen teachers. They were nothing spectacular, but they got the job done. And 40% were truly amazing.
You don’t hear much about that last group. They get kids who don’t like school to come to class. They motivate kids to study, and pass. Nope, you don’t hear much about those teachers. But their students thank them. And that’s gold.
I enjoyed it. Particularly the part where she ‘barked’ as the dude left the room.
Sounds like b.s. to me.
^ This. At my USD the union & hr are god. I’ve seen good employees just give up and go to greener pastures, or just retire. A lot of cover ups.
