See Los Angeles Times, "New Jersey teacher in trouble over anti-gay Facebook comments." And New Jersey Online, "Union Township school officials investigate teacher who allegedly made anti-gay remarks on Facebook":
The case raises broader questions about rights of teachers to speak freely in the age of social media.No doubt.
Also at The Blaze, "GAY ADVOCATES PETITION TO HAVE TEACHER FIRED AFTER SHE POSTED ANTI-GAY MESSAGES ON FACEBOOK."
It is best for a teacher in the lower level to leave Facebook, Myspace, etc. alone perhaps. Kids will hunt and hunt for dirt on a teacher. That is what they do.
ReplyDeleteHigher education is a different animal however.
