So a few days ago Natalie Munroe, a teacher at Central Bucks East was suspended (perhaps soon to be fired) for a post on her blog stating some really nasty things about her students. Though she didn't use any names, the comments were clearly directed at those she taught, saying things like, "There's no other way to say this: I hate your kid", and called one student a "Rude, beligerent [sic], argumentative fuck". She went on to say that some of her students dressed like streetwalkers, asked too many questions, and were otherwise "Rat-like".
Upon learning about these comments, she was immediately suspended but some proponents of the First Amendment say has every right to say what she did and shouldn't be fired, let alone suspended. Others say that she is a teacher, and should have realized that there is a certain level of professionalism that she breached and should face the consequences of her actions.
She claims that she never expected her blog to be found, but it was open to the public for anyone to read and let's face it... it's the internet. Someone will eventually find it. Venting is fine, but why make it a public affair, especially as a teacher? Why not private e-mails between friends? Or hell, make the blog friends only.
But, my dear Escapists, what do you think? Should she be let off the hook, or should she be fired on the grounds of inappropriate conduct?
