Thousands are signing a petition to try to help a teacher get her job back at Satellite High School. Brevard Public Schools said it isn’t renewing Melissa Calhoun’s contract for next year because she called a student by the name they wanted to be called by, not their legal name.

    Damn.

    She should leave Gilead and join us up here in Canada. Staple the news article to her immigration paperwork. It’s a badge of honour. How can you all have pride in a country that does this shit? Stay safe down there!

      Staple it to job applications too. I suspect many blue state and private schools would see it as a commendation.

        It’s not great in blue areas either, just minus the sht like Florida is doing. But they are generally underpaid in general, in the west had a former coworker refuse a contract with a district because the pay is very low, like starting 25k in a 5-7year contract, and no choice of districts.

        Private school are worst, you may or may not work some.weeks.
