The freedom to teach unpopular ideas also includes the freedom to teach that water has feelings and you can change its molecular structure by yelling at it, or that vaccines cause autism, or that global warming is all a bunch of bullshit made up by the liberal media. Pick your poison.
- opendais 12y agoPlease cite examples of this actually occurring and the teacher not being fired for 12+ months? I used the word immediate for a reason that seems to be lost on some people :/
- eastbayjake 12y agoNo, I'm agreeing that a science teacher who taught kids that water has feelings would be fired immediately without tenure protections -- and deserves to be fired immediately! But tenure protections would not just protect an evolution teacher in Mississippi, it would also protect Gwyneth Paltrow's right to teach kids batshit crazy things about molecular chemistry based on new age pseudoscience. It cuts both ways.
