New Jersey Teacher Suspended for Facebook Status Update
New Jersey Teacher Suspended for Facebook Status Update
A first grade teacher at School 21 in New Jersey has been suspended from her job for posting a status update that said she felt like a warden overseeing future criminals, the New York Times reports.
The teacher, whose name has not been disclosed, was suspended with pay from the Paterson, N.J. school district after "a significant number" of parents who saw the Facebook post showed up at the school, clamoring for her removal.
"The reason why she was suspended was because the incident created serious problems at the school that impeded the functioning of the building," school board president Theodore Best told North Jersey's The Record. "You can't simply fire someone for what they have on a Facebook page; but if that spills over and affects the classroom then you can take action."

Wake up and smell the Java lady :/ That said....I can only guess that the parents got so pissed off because they knew that she was right.....I call 'em as I see 'em.... If she was so wrong, why are the parents so upset?

Anybody that uses Facebook, you better start censoring yourself or else the thought police will come knocking at your door, literally.
This story is fooked up! The teacher didn't even say anything that terrible to get fired over it. She was obviously just venting like we all do. I guess you can't vent on Facebook. Too many eyes watching over your every text......BEWARE!!!!!!
