That doesn’t have anything to do with being woke. You people turn anything God is doing with his people into carnal worldly garbage.

Everybody waking up every day doing the same routine, believing the same way as everybody else has gotten many caught in a matrix and losing their purpose in life.

As a former high school teacher here, this demonstrates a HUGE problem in education now...lack of maturity and common sense of young people coming out of college who the public is expecting to teach their kids. And it doesn't matter if they are from liberal or conservative backgrounds either. Want to get OUTRAGED? Demand that our government make it easier for older, more mature people to get into teaching. There are lots of people in their 50's who could be wonderful teachers, but there is not an easy path to become a teacher. I had to pay $5000 out of my pocket to go through a program. There was no financial aid! And all that to get a temporary teaching job for a year that paid less than half what I used to make. How many people are willing or stupid enough to do what I did?

Well, lot of us are leaving Teaching. We see the hand-writing on the wall. Just too many policies, all the parents get offended over nothing, and not enough money to deal with it. I quit and got a job paying over three times what I used to make in teaching. THREE TIMES. Almost broke 6 figures now.

Going against policy is grounds for dismissal. She’s not running her own school. She has dozens of supportive staff, peers and superiors that run an efficient system and count on her cooperation and attention to the rules. She wants to buck the system and practice “free speech” then she pays the consequences. A bad employee is a bad employee, period.

People better start doing something about our children being subjected these whackjob "influencers" in our schools... 💥

That's what all ineffective teachers do, but I think as a probationary teacher, that $hit would only fly in San Fran or something. I mean this is Austin.

She needs to move to California

Rumor has it that if you publicly complain about your boss to a million people that it may cause a disruption in employment.

Meanwhile in Maryland the board of education is totally fine with children not attending.

Teachers don't have more rights than the parents. Bye Felicia 😎

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

what does that have to do with anything in the video?

[@bskilla4892]

What parental rights where violated? You sound like a broken record.

[@chrisruiz1215]

Alot. She allowed the kids to sit during the pledge of allegiance. A few more issues I'm sure she just hasn't discussed. Good job for firing her

​@Chris Ruiz "WAAAAHHHHH SHE ALLOWED THE KIDS TO NOT ADHERE TO PROPAGANDA WAAAAAHHHH"

[@jonhohensee3258]

@@spinnyspins9135 - That's a choice for the parents, not the teachers. And if you think the pledge of allegiance is propaganda then you're either not a U.S, citizen OR you are a U.S. citizen that needs to find a new country.

This woman needs to learn to keep that mouth a bit more quiet and that everything that crosses your mind, does not need to be voiced.

She allowed her class to sit during the Pledge of Allegiance? Keep her from teaching

I believe that she is truly unaware of her attitude towards her job … this is the problem with Wokesim it’s not made for the Real World , nor should it be promoted in society !!!! Activism does not mean trying to embarrass your employer

[@tokesalotta1521]

Since when do teachers get fired? She was probably transferred. These things constantly get misreported as terminations. Usually, they're getting paid to take phone calls or make copies in the district office or something

[@ldebrobander]

If you were so good, you wouldn't have been fired.

[@brandonpeterson7730]

Kids sitting down for the pledge… Sad

[@mrfishsticks6787]

Why is it sad? It’s brainwashing and bringing god into our public schools. Not to mention it’s not even the REAL and original pledge. The original is something I could stand for, not this religious bullshit

[@savethechildren2]

I just watched her last video. She was "crying" with not 1 tear. 👀

How clueless can one person be!?! YOU are the problem!

In America, you are so Free you MUST stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance.

[@PoeLemic]

No, you don't. Us, Jehovah Witnesses don't have to stand up and do nothing. We're have immunity because the Jesus of North America came to us and said that we own this land. Thus, we are the ones who America should be thankful for, because we are allowing the rest of Americans to live here. This land was ours before the Constitution was even written.

[@misterio10gre]

wow she felt not supported by her administrator because she got told to try to repond to email a bit more promptly? I've heard way sadder stories of teachers actually being disregarded by administrators. She should NOT be in the capitol after only teaching for 1 year

[@Theywaswrong]

She says at the end she was the only teacher advocating her agenda at a hearing. MAYBE that should have told her SHE is the problem.

[@BBQDad463]

You are a first-year teacher on probation and you have no better sense than to use social media to criticize your superiors? You deserve to be fired.

[@gomerhanger2285]

Herman Becker (1857-1933) operated a successful downtown café, and he bought part of the historic Bouldin homestead in south Austin in 1891. His son H.E. Becker and son-in-law P.A. Wilde, proprietors of the Becker Lumber Company, donated three acres of Bouldin land to the Austin Independent School District in 1935 for a new school site.
