Teacher loses First Amendment rights

I know what she said and I told you what her actions may cause.

That's a decision by other people, who are responsible for themselves. Illegal aliens don't belong here, and should be turned in.
 
There is also a law that protects people from harassment due to the opinions that they express, whether online or in otherwise. It's called the First Amendment, and it's been around for a long time. How much longer it will be around remains to be seen.

Yes, but that does not give you unlimited rights, especially if it impedes another person's rights such as protections under the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Public teachers do NOT have a right to not educate children that may in fact be illegal because it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Children are also protected from being harassed by a place that receives public federal funds ie. public schools under Title VI. A public teacher would most likely be found guilty of such crimes if prosecuted. She should transfer to a non public schools if she wants to continue such actions.

She didn't say that.

Where did I say she 'said' that? You said illegal immigrants do not belong here and should be turned in. I simply illustrated that under federal law public educators are not mandated to report them. It contradicts laws that say they must educate them and also not be found accountable for creating a harassing environment to these children.
 
This has nothing to do with indoctrination, the DNC or teacher unions. This surely can have a negative impact on her students.

What negative impact could it have?? She just said that people should report criminals when they see them. That sounds like a big positive impact to me.
 
For what??? Would you have a different opinion if she posted "People should report robberies to the police."??

This goes beyond an opinion. She is requesting action against people that are suspected to be illegal. I already stated in more than one post that this may have a negative impact on the student(s) she teaches.

It is not a crime for an illegal student to be educated. The law protects them so they can be educated in a public school and not be discriminated. The law also protects them from harassment. She is creating a very negative environment that may very well impact her student(s).

No one is being denied due process, they are simply being entered into the system where due process is applied.

Would you be OK if the teacher turned in kids who were selling crack in the school?? By your standard, that would be harassment, discrimination and a violation of their rights.
 
As an open-minded, truly liberal American, I hope this awful, xenophobic teacher is punished to the full extent of the law for her hating. No one should be allowed to say anything, even on her own time and away from school, that might make another human feel yucky or invalidated. And please, don't any of you constitutional types try to give me a lot of malarkey about the freedom of speech. If your precious constitution says this harridan should be allowed to spew hateful venom like she did, then let's get some judges who will ignore that outdated piece of paper. Get a clue--we no longer live in the age of powdered wigs, with white Xtian men running everything.

Getting rid of criminals from our society is now a bad thing to do???

Please tell me where that is harassment based on sex, race, color or national origin. TIA

You're the one making the claim of harassment, so would you please show us where what she said was "harassment based on sex, race, color or national origin." What she's asking for isn't based on where anyone came from, but rather on whether they are suspected to be criminals or not. Do you support criminal activity??
 
Sad to think she is a teacher. This would have a negative impact on her job as a public educator. They have a right to suspend her for this behavior.

Don't be absurd. What an utterly idiotic thing to say.
 
What harassment?? She asked that people report criminals to the proper authorities. Would you consider reporting a child kidnapping ring to be harassment??

Who said these people are criminals? She is starting a witch hunt for people that are 'suspected' which creates a frenzy of harassment for these families including children.
 
Your attitude that they are automatically criminals under suspicion highlights the dangers these children can face with harassment.

You still haven't defined this harassment you are claiming is happening... I'll wait patiently until you can clearly explain this concept...

Yeah, criminals based on national origin.

So now it's a "frenzy"?? What's next - claims of people getting ropes and lynching illegal immigrants in the streets because of this??
