Why was she not arrested?????
Being fired is the answer for this behavior. It's obvious that this book was wildly inappropriate.
More vigilance should be paid to teachers who abuse their powers to groom impressionable children into a sick ideology. They all need to be flushed out of the system.
Hey I've got an idea! Let's just keep things like gender identity issues out of the classroom, especially when dealing with 11 and 12-year-old children. What parents want is for their children is to be safe and to learn good solid basics when in the classroom — not for them be subjected to some unqualified idiot's misguided crusade. I guess this woman just got bored of teaching math in her math class and decided to subject these young and impressionable minds to her own personal opinions and priorities. Shame on the 3 school board members who voted to allow her to carry on with polluting children's minds.
Good riddance. Should have just stuck to math.
Firing is not enough. She should be sent to jail. We need to keep these sick people away from the kids.
sick ped0. 🤮 Good thing she got fired
That's not math
Great news. We need to stop playing nice to these children abusing Marxist. They need to be kept as far away from the children as possible.
Justice was done!!!
Good move by the school board.
So long crazy.
Fat/unattractive/unmarried/childless/ally to the rainbow community…THAT'S the majority of teachers in blue cities…they need to be purged…
Fire all these radical teachers! Good riddance!😅
Good. Lazy. Out for free money or no mate wants her…. Whatever
We are in Hitler times!!!!!! Oh the humanity!!!! This poor brave person!!!!! It’s Trump fault!!!!!!
Good teach math and you wouldn’t have this problem clown ! Lol
Groomers out
Good, this was a theft of education.
How’s it impossible to teach math, science, reading, and writing without inserting perverse substance?? It’s not. They’ll hear plenty of that garbage in college… give us time to warn them. That’s what the left fanatics are so afraid of. CJH
Good girl thank you for teaching kids things they will need to know
Good judgment for the tribunal for getting that crazy activist away from impressionable children
I feel so sad for the kids of these radical parents-they don’t understand that despite the banning of books YOUR kids will also grow up and could identify as part of LGBTQ. These parents will then do one of two thing: finally understand that we are ALL deserving of love and respect OR disown their own kids because their love is conditional.
TO ALL THE KIDS THAT FEEL EXCLUDED, DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND ALONE PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE LOVED JUST AS YOU ARE AND IN THE END LOVE WINS. ✌🏼❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Why are they sendigs this kids to school for?
