    A California middle school REMOVED a history teacher who told her students that Trump is still president.

    Who agrees the school was right to remove the teacher?

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    They did the right thing, because only MAGA minions in Congress and of the right wing media bullhorn keep repeating that nonsense. Clearly, this "teacher" is shy one brick of a load.

    That's correct but it's too complex for the poorly educated MAGA Morons to comprehend.

    I don't think free speech includes giving students false information.

    Florida is now claiming teaching constitutes "governmental speech" and is not protected free speech.

    Of course the school was right to remove a crazy person from the responsibility of overseeing and educating children.

    Apparently not if you work for a government run school system and expose non-liberal views.

    So you are arguing that teachers should be able to say anything they want without interference from government?
    Perhaps you should tell DeSantis you disagree with him and he is wrong to force teachers to only say what he wants them to say.

    You mean like in Florida and Texas where they restrict what teachers can say?

    Children do not need to be lied to. Nothing at all to do with free speech, its about learning the truth.

    That depends on what is meant by "told". We need more information.

    If it was put up for discussion, that's arguably OK. If the teacher simply told her students as a matter of fact, that's false and she was rightly suspended.

    Since your post lacks specifics I have to assume that you are just regurgitating a liberal narrative.
