...." Two public school teachers have found themselves in hot
water at work after posting messages critical of President
Barack Obama on their personal Facebook pages.
After last Tuesday’s election, according to ABC affiliate
WSOC-TV, South Carolina-based eighth-grade math
teacher Sharon Aceta updated her status on Facebook
with this sarcastic message: “Congrats Obama. As one of
my students sang down the hallway, ‘We get to keep our
food stamps’ …which I pay for because they can’t budget
their money… and really, neither can you.”
A spokesperson for Rawlinson Road Middle School, Aceta’s
employer, said that multiple people had contacted the
school with complaints.
“The teacher has admitted that poor judgment was used
in this case, and she is very apologetic,” said the
spokesperson, Elaine Baker, according to WSOC.
The school suspended Aceta for one day, on Friday. She
reportedly spent that day apologizing for her actions. She
also swiftly deleted the post from Facebook.
Aceta probably won’t face any additional disciplinary
action, according to officials.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, a teacher at Linden McKinley High
School posted an even more caustic message on her
Facebook page, according to CBS affiliate WBNS-TV.
“Congrats to those dependent on government,
homosexuals, potheads, JAY-Z fans, non Christians, non
taxpayers, illegals, communists, Muslims, planned murder
clinics, enemies of America, Satan You WON!”
The school, which received complaints about the post, has
not yet issued an official reprimand of the teacher "... RRD: What concievable justification is there for PUBLIC schools policing what political views are expressed by teachers or students on Facebook???! And yes ,that applies equally to Obama supporters. In the past I & others have denounced Obama supporters who have brought their political views into the classroom (and it is not just Obama supporters ,see below) but I have never called for Schools to discipline teachers for what opinions they express away from school.
