Uh oh, someone was caught using their first amendment right on their cell phone after work. Looks like it is time to turn her in, she needs to be re-educated.
Good thing your child caught her. We really should be teaching our youth to keep their ears and eyes open for non-believers. People let their guard down around children and we need to catch all these unpatriotic infidels and point them out to the secret police.
Oh my god you are such a Karen. hahahahahahaaha when she treats your daughter differently, you can worry. Its not like she gave an indepth presentation on why Trump is a dumbass. She overheard her outside of the classroom. I would say you should try teaching your daughter to respect others opinions but I know she learned this from you
I didn't quite catch the details.
If this teacher was just in a private conversation with someone, perhaps another teacher then that is their prerogative.
If they are in front of a class, trying to pass on their own private political beliefs onto students then they should be reported. Teachers are not to do that.
That's like saying your daughter should be suspended for wearing a trump shirt. Differences of opinions teaches tolerance. Just bc u don't agree with her political beliefs doesn't mean she can't be a good teacher. Relax.. act like its 2020 n get over yourself.
Your daughter was eavesdropping on her private conversation. She’s not talking about her personal views in the classroom or during her lessons or trying to influence her students views. It makes no sense to report her the teacher did nothing wrong. Last time I checked we don’t live in a dictatorship and it’s not a crime to talk bad about or criticize our leadership.
I would normally say yes. I am a trump supporter as well
but since your daughter "overheard" it , that means it wasn't the intention of the teacher to teach that to your kid
she wasn't actively teaching your child or brainwashing her against trump or anything like that. She has the right to believe whatever she wants so it's okay if she thinks trump is a terrible president as long as she is professional in her teaching and treats your kid equally as others
you are worried she "might" treat your kid different.
tell us when she actually does
A school board won't listen to that complain, because it's stupid. If your daughter doesn't want to be treated differently she probably shouldn't wear a T-shirt that could be controversial, just like I wouldn't wear a Boris Johnson T-shirt around. Keep the shirt for in the house.
If the teacher was on break, she has every right to talk on the phone about hating Trump or loving her boyfriend or whatever. I understand and share your concern about teachers indoctrinating kids, but I just don't see a problem as long as the teacher wasn't lecturing to the class about her political views.
Also... what kind of "libertarian" likes AOC? I'm revoking her libertarian card.
its the teachers job not to be overheard by kids, on break or not it is her fault and she should be written up
@007kingifrit Um... no it's not. Teachers, as well as anyone who has any other profession, can do or say whatever the fuck they want when they are not on the job.
Karen, please you sound very ignorant. Everyone is entitled to voice their own opinion. First of all, what she said was not intended for your daughter to hear she just happened to hear it. Second, if you would have heard a teacher saying she didn't like Obama or something you would not be on here asking this question, besides she was stating the facts, Trump is an idiot.
She has the right to her own opinions, just like you do.
Until she writes a question like that on your daughter's test and marks it wrong if she doesn't answer correctly, to the teacher's thoughts, there isn't much to do.
If she would bring Trump up in class, your daughter could ask her to explain her opinion with current facts.
Sri, you want your kid raise with only one version of the story, the one that suits you, instead of a more plural vision of the world? That teacher is no killer, no raper, she is not disrespecting the kids... She is telling things as she sees them because she has the right to it and not be judged by people of the contrary opinion.
You don't want your kid taught by her? That is fine, just change the school to one that only teaches what you want. Leave the teacher alone.
I bet Trump Supporters want to banned free speech
Indeed.
Whether you like Trump or not is up for debate, but a teacher who promotes AOC should be fired. Anyone teaching nullifies their credentials at the suggestion of AOC, if you support her policies and plans its obvious your critical thinking is compromised and shouldn't be allowed to teach. That being said if this were after hours, you can't really do much, but keep your eyes out especially if they do something during class. I personally like Trump, but polite debate is welcome and should be encouraged. Most of my teachers were liberals and they called me a bigot in elementary and high school. I grew up in rural Wisconsin. Most of the newer teachers are liberal, but only the older ones called me a bigot. There is much worst being taught to your children than just political complaints.
The teacher is not actively attempting to sway any students' political beliefs. She was on her phone, alone, having a private conversation. She did not tell your daughter anything about Trump or politics; your daughter chose to report details of someone's private conversation.
That's her personal opinion. If at all there is a debate then tell your child to participate in it and prove that Trump is right. Every person has their own opinion. So let's not judge. If your child changes her liking towards Trump then that can happen only if she gets to know the worst things of him.
teachers have no right to share their personal opinion at school, they should be removed if they do so
A lack of bias is a condition that doesn't occur in humans. The teacher has the same right to criticize the president as anyone else does. Sooner or later, your children are going to be exposed to ideas that you disapprove of- would you rather they had no practice at examining ideas and deciding for themselves whether to accept or reject them?
@NamerOfStars
I see what the left is doing to those that disagree with them. These are not the liberals of the past. These people are communists and that changes everything. We are in a war.
if your daughter was "evesdropping" its not the teacher who is to blame.
In a private conversation people can say whatever they want.
If it wasn't in school hours then who fucking cares. Teach your kid not to eavesdrop, it's rude. Sounds like she spied on a whole conversation if she heard all that.
"I'm worried about my daughter's freedom to like the president."
You're talking about trying to get someone fired for not having the same opinion as you. Get the fuck out of here talking about freedom 🤣🤣🤣
Absolute fucking clown
you know you behave like a child. some how the content of a calm and collected question on how to or even if a measured response some how offended you snowflake. On the contrary if you cannot read a question without a childish reaction. maybe it is you that should get the fuck out of here as you worded it?
honestly i feel sad for you. unable to think or speak for yourself
I'm not offended, I'm just pointing out the huge gaping chasm in her logic (maybe I should have been nicer about it so as not to offend the snowflakes as you say)
And I don't know where you got unable to think or speak for myself but sure, whatever you say fella.
Wrong on all counts but thanks for playing 👍
WTF is with people these days wanting to report anything and everything. It's your teachers opinion, nothing you can do other than to tell your daughter to ignore her teacher. It was a privet conversation, it's not like she forcing your daughter into believing Trump is a terrible president. Would you report the teacher had daughter over heard them say Obama was a terrible president?
You want to censor what someone says at work off hours, in a private conversation? You're insane. No wonder so many people are up in arms about free speech and censorship. It's because of people like you who push it to the extremes of reasonablness. Then there's all this push back against it, when there needn't be. Common sense should prevail but it's gone out the window now.
Don't pretend that this isn't about your beliefs clashing with hers.
Report her for what? Using her right to have an opinion? Like it or not, you share the world with other people who are going to have different opinions than your own. You'd be doing your child a disservice to teach her to only surround herself with people who agree with her. You can't grow like that. Can't improve if you're always told there's only one way and you're always perfect. Would you have even thought of removing your kid from school if the teacher said they didn't like president Obama?
