Sorry about that. Didn't get it to post right...
Let's say the teacher who made the George Floyd comment is Teacher A.
Right next door to her is Teacher B. Third grade class. She states that Derick Chauvin is typical of all white police officers and he deserves to die just like George Floyd did.
Upstairs, in a 6th grade classroom where they are studying WWII, a student asks, "Why didn't someone just kill Hitler"? The teacher (C) replies, "They tried. An assassination attempt was made on his life by one of his underlings. Unfortunately, it failed. I wished it didn't because a lot of lives might have been saved".
You're the superintendent. Which teacher(s) should be fired? Each teacher made comments about wishing someone dead.
If you fire only one, lets say A, then you've gotten yourself into a potential big-time mess. What about A and B? Better? Not really...
If one tries to apply a blanket policy regarding subject matter - wishing death upon someone - then they all have to go, right? Otherwise, you're being selective in your firing practices.
I know this then gets into a slippery slope, but then when does a teacher ever feel safe volunteering ANY opinion about any subject if someone can be offended by it? Doesn't that destroy a teacher's abilities to teach?
