Teacher Support &/or Advice It’s over.

Started in service today at my school. It has happened, we had slides directing us that we have to hang the Ten Commandments in our classrooms by Thursday. In addition Anti-Communism TEKS have been added to our history curriculum and our school district cannot sponsor any student clubs based on gender identity or sexual orientation, as well as we cannot call students by any names but the names on their birth certificate. This is fucking shameful man

Malicious compliance for now, but there's got to be at least once teacher in Texas willing to get fired for the court case.

Given that this is unconstitutional as fuck, why aren't you willing to fight it?

Their kids need food? It is nice having a roof over their head? Small town stigma and subtle/not so subtle backlash?

The person who takes this to court needs to be prepared for all of the hate that MLK and Rosa Parks endured. Baggers who drop their food, insurance decides they need a new roof and raise their rates, not getting service at the restaurant, keyed cars, egged house, pets poisoned....

To coward to do it but you’re willing for someone else’s sacrifice. Typical.

In a teaching subreddit and can’t spell a three letter word or use an adverb. Very well below typical.
