Yes...and you apparently flunk your job for peace too.
“’The First Amendment does not entitle primary and secondary teachers, when conducting the education of captive audiences, to cover topics, or advocate viewpoints, that depart from the curriculum adopted by the school system,’ the appeals court ruled.”
This MUST be the standard for all education, K-12 and college.
“”People ought to seek out peaceful solutions before going to war.””
yeah, we did that idiot.
You should be dismissed for being a moron.
I’m a teacher...and I am embarrassed that this ignorant person doesn’t know that her right to free speech does not include the right to indoctrinate her students contrary to the curriculum approved by the school. She flunks in every way...and is a poster child for what the NEA led teacher’s unions have done to our educational system.
This is an excellent precedent for all the socialist, leftist classroom politicians that INFEST OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM. Choke on it, libs.
I rather doubt the school fired her merely for making those few statements. But of course, as a leftist, she would never admit she was to blame for her own job loss. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Wrong. The SC is the final appeals court in cases like hers. That she doesn't realize that when she lost her original case, she had her day in court - she should be thrown from teaching for cause - cluelessness.
“I have gone all the way to the Supreme Court and I have still not had my day in court,”
I think I hear that little violin in the background playing “My Heart Bleeds for You.”
One can only hope it was an extremely expensive lesson learned....
nah, no chance.
This schmuck has no clue as to the difference between education and indoctrination...any more than she understands the meaning of the First Ammendment.
Translation: "I have a problem with us defending ourselves anytime we have a Republican president".
Mayer said her troubles started on Jan. 10, 2003 -- the eve of the Iraq war...Jan. 10, 2003 was NOT the eve of the Iraq war. That would be like saying Christmas Eve really falls on Columbus Day.
This proves that she's a moonbat all around, and was not necessarily just opposed to the Iraq war itself.
There used to be four primary rules for teachers on how to get fired:
1) Offend and anger your students.
2) Offend and anger their parents.
3) Offend and anger the other teachers and administrators.
4) Offend and anger the community.
Hotheads and radicals who become teachers are always horrified to learn that they are not permitted to use their podium as a soapbox to rant and rave in front of their students. They regard this as totally unfair, as it goes against their entire reason for wanting to “teach” in the first place.
There are, of course, other rules, some of which are not as obvious, such as “teachers are never fired for passing too many students”, “you should not have sex with your students”, and “never hit a student in front of witnesses, or in a way that leaves a mark.”
I suspect there was a lot more too it than saying that, that got her canned.
As we did! Seventeen U.N. resolutions ignored and repeated warnings later...
When a conservative talks, however, liberals are free to condem, ridicule and bring senate resolutions down on them because the 1st only applies to liberals/ Mega Sar
