MicroWaveGeorgia school board fires teacher for reading a book to students about gender identity
Potatos_are_not_friendsI’m trying to wrap my head the intent.
Is this a case where she was fired because the book didn’t have anything to do with the class she’s teaching? Or because a bunch of parents went Karen and it made the school district look bad?
If a history class references passages from the bible, I think that is inappropriate in general but it depends on context. But if it’s using the bible to explain say the history of the Holy War, makes sense.
If she was teaching Sex Ed and talking about gender fluidity, in that context it makes sense to me.
Flying SquidThe ‘insubordination’ part is especially confounding. She’s insubordinate by reading a children’s book to children? What?

If it's "insubordination' then it's safe to assume either (a) she was explicitly told not to do this by a superior, or (b) there must be a rule or regulation against it in the school district.
Or (c) they’re making up bullshit reasons to fire her.
