I'm sure the ACLU would be happy to represent the teacher in this case. I hope they sue and I hope they win. This is madness.

I’m the parent of a former teacher who worked in NYC and ATL. She quit before this kind of stuff started. She quit because it was a thankless job. She was a middle school math teacher with a masters degree. She loved the teaching but the job became more about behavior management and negotiating between parents and administrators. She worked long hours for an unlivable wage. She had been physically hurt by unruly kids several times. She sat in lockdown situations calming children in silence. And then she said enough. Now she is in medical technology sales...happy and making an amazing salary while working normal hours and respected.

My thoughts are of these teachers. Why would they think this is a career anymore? When a small minority of fringe parents have this type of control over them. We are losing great teachers and mentors. Our kids are being brainwashed and this will affect generations to come. What they hear now a days in school will be planted seeds. Parents send their kids to school for knowledge and enlightenment, not to come home to be deprogrammed.

A first year teacher was chewed up and spit out by a single Moms for Liberty parent and a rouge state government. Where are the other parents that should be standing up for this teacher. Shame on them for not supporting her. Sitting in silence?
