In generally conservative Frederick County, Maryland...the school board notes their mission:

Therefore, our mission is to:

  • Reach our students with exceptional teaching and caring support,
  • Challenge them to achieve their potential, and
  • Prepare them for success in a global society

http://www.fcps.org/about/mission-vision-plan-goals.cfm

So...to that end, they fired a woman who tweeted a spelling correction.

...The trouble began Jan. 5, when a student wrote to the Twitter account, @FCPSMaryland, asking schools to close “tammarow.”

Nash responded: “But then how would you learn how to spell ‘tomorrow’? :)”

Her response garnered more than 1,000 retweets and 1,000 likes and she became the subject of a hashtag, #KatiefromFCPS.

The “tammarow/tomorrow” thread continued between Nash and the student, with the student later tweeting that he didn’t mind Nash’s original reply and didn’t take it personally...

You have to be kidding. So she gets fired for something the student even said he/she didn't mind? No wonder there's a shortage of teachers.

Hell...she wasn't even a teacher. It's completely bonkers.

The board failed 180 degrees in their mission.

I read a local account of this that said that she was told to stop tweeting, and continued to tweet our the normal announcement stuff, and that is why she was fired. But, that still smacks of an excuse to me.

Yeah...I read some of the local articles as well, but chose a national link.

While I believe the board failed in spectacular fashion...the upshot is that the kid will likely never misspell tomorrow again.

Hopefully but I am not nearly as optimistic.

This is what happens when leftists are permitted to run something. The fired employee is white and I have no doubt the student isn't.

Yes, I am. And? When 6 people are running.. and 5 of them are liberals and the most votes get 6 in, it would take no one voting at all - to not elect them.

The board in my county is hardcore republican...they voted to change the history texts to eliminate references to the Japanese being interned during WWII and the "Trail of Tears" and other "anti-American' events. They also wanted to put creationism in the Science curriculum.

Fredrick county voted for Trump.

Can't go a post without bringing up the Trump, can you.

Meanwhile, since race was introduced, and you immediately brought up Trump.. you'll be satisfied to know that Romney and Trump had the same amount of white support.. so, there was no increase in white votes.
