You think she should have been FIRED and not simply reprimanded for this?
If another busdriver had a discussion promoting the opposite opinion regarding fetal stem cell research, in similar circumstances, I wouldn't believe he/she should be fired, but simply reprimanded.
I grow weary of conservatives who come down harder on their own than on the enemy, all for the purpose of appearing fair and non-hypocritical.
I'm ok with it. The reason is that I think she broached the subject deliberately to cause trouble and make noise. She was practically daring the parents to complain so she could then cry, "woe is me! The LIBS get away with it!"
That is my opinion based upon the information in this thread. If you wish to think she had a purer motive, go right ahead.
Frankly, the liberal teachers I've encountered are so involved in their own world view that they cannot even comprehend WHAT we are so angry about. They don't realize how much of what they say is liberal crap and that there IS another side. I lost a long time teacher friend right before the election by trying to explain to her how biased her teaching is. She NEVER got it and was determined to believe that I was just suddenly a mean and awful person (after 10 years).
Firing that type of person is probably ineffective. She wouldn't have gotten it, the teachers left behind probably wouldn't get it and thus change their behavior. I wouldn't cry if they all got fired though.
Definitely the agitator libs ought to be fired. They know exactly what they are doing.
