Which is teaching the established curriculum, within the established guidelines, and leaving your feeling on the subject out. Teachers are employed by the system, the system has no control over how they spend their time while not being paid, and the most certainly have no right to discipline them for attending a legal event being staged in the community.
I'm certain that there are regulations which demand that a teacher be fired if CONVICTED of breaking a law. There can't possibly be any regulations set in place that would allow for teachers to be fired because they scandalized an individual's sense of propriety.
Wrong. State law provides for evaluting a teacher on their integrity as well as on their actions with greater political and cutural environments.
At least in Tennessee and probably in most areas. That is the established guidelines. The system does have some control and does have the right to discipline them.
Those are the facts. Deal with it.
Good morn-ing. I am R3D3, your sub-sti-tute tea-cher for the day.
Reductionism: Liberals like to reduce the number of those who object to the ed system to one ("oh, it's just those religious nuts") --which they label as homogenous and treat as one entity. You could have a rich diversity of religious & general community-based folks complaining about something, and liberals will reduce that chorus of voices to "an individual's sense of propriety" motivated by the same religious spring.
