The
article starts here.The bottom line is that while this female's students gave back less than she dished out - and the paper "wall" at the door of the other classroom was out of line -
these are Math classes. Politics should not have been mentioned in those classrooms! Not snuck in through "statistics" "discussion"; not even brought up by students (the proper response to which would be, "Janey, this is a Math class, not a US History or Government class, so please don't distract from our work.").
The first (and every) time she Played the Race Card against Trump voters, she should have been reported by students' parents as a group (to make retaliation against individual students less easy). And the first (and every) time she Played the Race Card against her students she should have been reported to the school district by a parent group (the same reason applies), supported by recordings of her ravings, and with the discussion with the district adminicrats being recorded. And if it got that far, she should have been suspended and transferred out of that school at a minimum. IOW,
"Shut up and teach!"I think many/most (all?) states have laws forbidding political activity by teachers in their classes. Teachers, egged on by their unions, started trampling those laws in the 1980s, and school districts and local officials made the laws meaningless by not enforcing those laws. This female teacher is young enough that I wonder whether she realizes she was barely skirting or outright breaking those laws. This paragraph sounds utterly
dinosaurian, given recent events and how systematically those laws have been trampled and mocked.
