      This really seems extreme and a harbinger of what is to come: veteran (and tenured) high school teacher and baseball coach dismissed from school after he assigned a Ta-Nehisi Coates essay and poem about white privilege.https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/sullivan-county-teacher-facing-termination-at-school-board-meeting-tuesday-supporters-to-gather/ …

      The official reason for firing the teacher is that terms in the essay and video of the poem were "inappropriate" for high school students - who are famously averse to inappropriate terms - and that TN requires both sides perspectivespic.twitter.com/kJMWmpjMfp

      Assigning this Ta Neshi Coates Atlantic essay was one part of the case for firing tenured TN teacher Matthew Hawn. A parent complained that the essay painted Trump in a negative light.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/10/the-first-white-president-ta-nehisi-coates/537909/ …

          Apart from The Atlantic essay, the only other accusation against the teacher was assigning this poem.https://twitter.com/saribethrose/status/1413606654055264256?s=20 …

          It’s really extreme & here is the “offending” poem. It’s powerful & important & every American should listen to it: https://youtu.be/Qkz5UmXugzk  as they might learn a thing or two

          Don Moynihan Retweeted Don Moynihan

          As local school board elections become dominated by people driven by or responding to a moral panic, expect more teachers to be fired for engaging in any sort of critical speech. What a disservice to their students.https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1412567106533605378?s=20 …

          The goal here is, and has always been, to reduce the autonomy of the teaching profession, and subject it to the control of people who don't care about education. https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1412566208763895810 …

          Tomorrow, July 10, is the anniversary of the start of the Scopes trial, where a high school teacher was accused of teaching evolution, in violation of Tennessee state law. Almost 100 years later, here we are.https://www.aclu.org/other/aclu-history-scopes-monkey-trial …

          This story of a teacher losing his job for assigning a poem is a month old. Had you heard about it before now? Meanwhile, a white supremacist getting kicked of a twitter is trending. Lots of free speech advocates defending him. Where do we direct our attention, our outrage?

          The profanity is an issue, to be sure, but for Pete's sake. It was published in the *Atlantic*! What, now we're not going to let kids read the newspapers? magazines in the mainstream media? Gimme a break.

          Profanity is not grounds for termination.
