Parent complained about my FB

Then you need to get a different profession. You can't be a teacher by day and stripper by night and expect it to be perfectly fine with the parents.

You and your profession are one.

(obviously your not a stripper but you get my point)

Not so. I picked a great profession - in theory. I will continue to drink in public and voice my political opinions about weed, abortion, gay marriage, and taxes outside of the classroom. I will listen to hip hop and Pink Floyd in my car. And the district will do nothing, because legally, it can't.

And ultimately, that's all what matters. There is no LEGAL defense. All of those threats - don't buy beer in a local grocery store, don't post about your political opinions - are empty threats meant to scare the sheep.

You guys have such a warped perception about how teachers actually behave. I created this thread because I was amused and wanted to share. Like I said, I just recently posted another FB status about legalizing weed because I'm the type of person to call someone out for their BS. If the district is serious, it will fire me, and I'll sue, and win, according to my attorney.

But it won't. You can't be fired for political affiliation or political positions. So why should I care one bit about these 'apology letters?' If the district is going to try to scare my colleagues for having a sip of beer, I'm going to give them the metaphorical middle finger.

I'm still basking in the glory of the moment when I told the admin I refuse to sign the letter of apology/intent to not do it again. He stuttered a little, said this could prolong the issue, and then generously allowed me to return to my duties.

It was a glorious moment. Like staring down a predator until it turns into a house cat.
