Michigan School Fires Popular Teacher For Saying 'Trump Is Our President' - Washington Free Beacon

I would like to know if there is more to the story.

Tens of thousands of deaths don't make a trend but one teacher fired changes the entire nation. Anecdotes

Yep. I'm wondering if there was more to the tweet than just "Trump is the President"

Why does it matter? I thought everyone here agreed that anyone should be able to be fired at any time for any reason. Selective righty outrage

That's certainly a valid point when considering this forum

Here’s the tweet

racist

 

[utvolpj]

Deleted if real. Many saying it was for other reasons

Why do you care what the OPs opinion is on this? And let’s be honest, not everyone can be fired for any time nor any reason. There is definitely bias in that regard. Nick Cannon is a perfect example. So is Jemele Hill.

He started a thread and I commented. You seem confused on how message boards work

Even if he tweeted that - how could any reasonable person justify firing someone over that?

Why are you convinced that's all there is?

Besides, he should be smarter than to put political opinions on his work related account

 

[volfanjustin]

Teacher unions are very liberal so surprise with this story

I agree that people in private enterprise should be able to be fired for any reason whatsoever.

Not sure how that would relate to this incident.

Why should schools not have that freedom?

Not familiar with the way the Union runs the school systems are you? (They should, but they don't in most cases.)

Because we dont want govt dictating who is right and who is wrong in terms of free speech.

This had nothing to do with my question. If he was protected by a union it's unlikely his firing would be so immediate. Lots of replies say there are plenty of other reasons

Of course you do. You just don't want them against your side

Directly replied to your comment. He looks young, most likely not tenured.

The 1st amendment only protects your speech from prosecution in most cases. It doesn't guarantee you that organizations can't fire you for your free speech

 

[LouderVol]

Whichever way the wind blows.

What is my side? I see stuff I dont agree with all the time from teachers in our school system and have never once thought or acted on the idea they should he fired.
