I would agree with that. A teacher can think as he/she wants, but sometimes need to keep those views to themselves, unless that is what she is told to teach. In that case, there are deeper problems.
Maybe he wouldn’t meet her in the car....
Teachers might be able to make a weak case for going off plan IF ALL THE KIDS THEY 'TEACH' WERE TESTING AT GRADE LEVEL. But we all know that's not the case.
Like you, I don't care what their politics are as long as they keep that information to themselves... same with any of their sexual kinks or weirdo community affiliations. The job is to teach the State Approved Curriculum. Period. (I would feel the same way if conservatives were mocking liberal children- not that there's enough conservatives in 'education' to worry about.) Liberal elites have done a great job making sure conservatives aren't hired to teach at any grade level...K through 12 and beyond. Blacklisted because we have a different opinion then theirs.
Liberal elites are such biased closed-minded hateful people - the 'deeper' problems you spoke of. We have the right to protect our children from them.
