1st, I enjoyed this post as I typically enjoy what you write. I'm a current teacher and if some colleague of mine had taken down something on my wall? I'd have taken Option C of your options. There's no way I would have taken such an insult, although I wouldn't have quit either. But I do so respect this principal for doing so as a means of protest. I totally agree with your contention that teachers need to stand up to this right-wing intimidation campaign. If I'm ever sanctioned by my state of Texas for honestly discussing the role of racism in this nation I would, like you, fight it all the way up The Supreme Court. I believe that even this hard-right Court would side with me as a matter of upholding my Freedom of Speech rights. ALL teachers need to be willing to do this, because democracy is nothing if you're not willing to fight for it.
Just read that DiSatan mandated all FL teachers must attend a 3 Day conference to ensure they teach Patriotic revisionist history…I can imagine what his cabinet and agenda would be IF he is ever elected President…
I was in DC last week. As, I checked in, a group of white kids (with 2 ants in the sugar) walked past me with “Let’s Go Brandon” hats on. I had to resist the urge to snatch it off their heads.
