Stupid fucks like this who support a party that has done everything they can to destroy unions and appoint judges that are hostile to any labor protections then have the temerity to complain when there aren't fucking labor protections in the workplace. I mean, it's still wrong but the irony is too much.
This. Talk about hypocrisy from the right.

Sounds like she made a statement that may be interpreted as a show of support of the current president. Now the lynch mobs are out to get her. Not unexpected in today's climate, but completely unacceptable from any objective viewpoint.
I do know she supports the President and voted for him, but she has never expressed anything political while at school. She's very mild-mannered. If I'm not mistaken, the post in question was actually an infographic or meme - not even a full-fledged comment, per se. She's a single mother of two, and as her friend and coworker, I find this whole thing very troubling. She has not been informed how, but the post was obviously reported to administration, with several severe complaints. I just find it scary that in this day and age, employers have so much power, that you have to essentially censor yourself, even on your own personal social media profile, even if your activity in no way relates to your employer.
First - I am pretty impressed that DoubleStandard knows so much about a post that was was only hinted at with no detail - confirmation bias is a beautiful thing.
Secondly - anyone who finds employer power "in this day and age" so scary should take a quick look at history and see what it was like before so many called "liberals" pushed for protections. As mentioned before its more than a little ironic and I don't mean that in an Alanis Morissette kinda way.
If the teacher is posting about a student they'd like to bang then yes I suppose that would qualify as grounds for dismissal.
A school district can simply say they do not like the way a teacher is representing the school district and fire them. It might be held up in union litigation for a while if they have tenure, but fired nonetheless.
Yes. A School can suspend and even fire a teacher for personal social media posts. A school's right to do so, however, is not absolute. See CoachWag's earlier posts discussing the limits on a school's right to terminate a teacher based on the teacher's speech.
Your friend needs to hire a lawyer if he or she has suffered an adverse employment action based on his or her social media posts. As the numerous posts illustrate, these cases are very context specific (state law that applies, public or private employer, etc.). Only a reputable lawyer could advise your friend on how the law of his or her state applies to his or her factual situation. Even if your friend is represented by a union, I would still consult with a lawyer. I understand that lawyers can be expensive, but in the face of a job loss and unemployment, it could be money well spent. Good luck!
If it's pro-Trump, you can be fired. Otherwise you're ok.
