Teacher Fired for Having Opinion

Lets see if we can go 3 for 3 with A790 :p

Schools of people are being taught to stifle not only freedom of speech, but freedom of thought as well. Economic devastation is the name of of the game for not accepting current liberalism in all its fucked-upness.

People always go "everyone said this about society hundreds of years ago" but this time is different. The regressive left is most certainly pushing us backwards as a society, utilizing tactics that would make the thought police of Hitler and Stalin envious.

lol, they are kids at a high school with a 30k/year tuition. Of course they've been brought up in a world where everything and everyone should align with them.

Except that apparently most people in said class did not agree with what this stupid girl was getting upset about.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, I hope that teacher sues and takes the school for every brick and stone in the place.

[spikerS]

Emotionally, I agree Killramos, and as a knee jerk reaction, I am on your side...and then I remembered something...

Teachers should not be teaching their opinion, and instead should be presenting facts. My daughter came home in tears a few weeks back, and when I asked why, she said she was afraid of Donald Trump becoming president. When, pressed, she told me her teacher said a bunch of things and why it would be bad for Trump to be elected. This was to an 11 year old. It pissed me right off.

1, A teacher should not be teaching their political opinions to kids of that age
2, This wasn't part of the curriculum, but fear mongering and presented without much thought.

so yes, I understand the concern around him presenting his opinion on such a hot button topic like abortion, and I would have supported a private reprimand. However, anything more, and a public apology like that is over the top. I would have walked before it got to that step if I were in his shoes.

I for one respect this private businesses' right to conduct their business the way they see fit, as any business owner would be. If their customers don't like it they will vote with their wallets and other schools will benefit. If this is what their customers want, then it is their best interest to give them what they want. After all the customers are paying for a product and this rogue employee has potentially jeopardized that product.

Of course it seems like beyond wants Union protection for this guy, who holds none of the risk involved in operating this business, and wants to handcuff the entrepreneurs from managing their own enterprise. Fucking socialists.



This is the kind of private school that gives the people at the Fraser Institute a real crisis of faith.

I see what you are saying spikers but these are 17/18 year olds. By that age you are thinking about post secondary and/or starting a career, moving out, you can drink if you go one province east and in some cases you're starting a family.

Plus if the national post reported it correctly (High uncertainty there) he was presenting the fact that as you go through life the laws of the land aren't going to necessarily agree with your personal opinions. That is unquestionably a fact.

[Type_S1]

This school sounds like everything I hate about this country in one place. Retarded leftist bs. Despite that, the teacher should not be talking about his personal opinions in a high school class. Teach the facts and move on.

Honestly, I'm not surprised. It was getting bad when I was in uni (my English prof once said that if you support equal rights, you're a feminist whether you like it or not).

What I find scary is that these students are going to go into the workforce and get jobs. Not only that, but they'll start companies and manage people.

Either we (the world) are in for a shock, or they are. Either way, articles like this remind me of why I'm glad I'm done with post secondary (and school in general).

You got that from the four whole posts above you, eh? That's amazing, especially since spikerS posted a pretty good post that appears be in line with your thinking.

I don't care one way or the other. I just find it hilarious how quickly you got salty over nothing.

I'm just busting chops.

I also wanted to post this




If that makes you less triggered. Lol, don't care one way or the other. Then why bring it up and offer your take one way? Yeah.

Me calling out your saltiness is the equivalent of me getting triggered?

You sure you didn't attend that school?

I attended a private school with proper right wing values, thank you very much. the only thing my school and this one have in common would be grade inflation.

But you don't care, you just can't bear to have something not go pointed out, even though it totally doesn't bother you.

I think triggered is just a buzz word you use when someone doesn't agree with your opinion. That and 'fucking socialist'.

Or regressive left, or SJW, or thought police, or Hitler and Stalin...

Same with "salty".

[timdog]

so fucking gold:
"among them a popular young woman who had gone to an administrator to complain that what the teacher said had “triggered” her such that she felt “unsafe” and that, in any case, he had no right to an opinion on the subject of abortion because he was a man"

there are like 3 or 4 different things in that one single sentence that TRIGGER me into pure rage.

It would probably be quite an experience to meet the parents of that special snowflake.

[Masked Bandit]

So if the article is 100% accurate and complete (which I doubt, but that's another issue), if he simply would have said "some people find abortion wrong", instead of "I find abortion wrong", this never would have received a moments thought?

It is beyond comprehension how one little change of a phrase is the difference between having your job or being fired. Who could work in such an environment?

[klumsy_tumbler]

I understand that we don't necessarily want teachers imposing their own bias on children, but I don't see how him using his views as an EXAMPLE constitute that in any way.

Society just keeps favoring these Sensitive Sally types because if we dont, we're going to have a whole new social justice group to contend with.

Leaving this here because it's relevant. Yes, it's quite long, but I quite enjoyed listening to it.
