    I agree with your intended message, but this is a really weird way to say it.

    If I was a teacher at an elementary school intentionally teaching children that addition is actually subtraction, I would be fired to teaching children “wrong” ideas.

      Forcing teachers spread propaganda and erasing history is quite different than having an incompetent teacher.

      Not really. Wrong here has multiple meanings that are being conflated. You’re talking about wrong meaning factually incorrect while it’s being used to mean not the propagandist’s preferred idea. Yeah, you’d be fired for teaching something factually incorrect. But that’s not the same thing as being fired for not teaching the propaganda the state wants to push.

    Well I’m sure in modern Germany, teachers can be fired for promoting nazism, probably even face jail time. Firing people for doing the wrong thing is a good thing. But you just need to have the right people making the decision of what’s right and what’s wrong, and unfortunately, florida does not have the right people to make those determinations. Bad people in power will declare that good things are bad, and that’s the problem.

    Teachers can be fired anywhere for teaching the wrong thing. I’m sure teachers in New York can be fired for teaching creationism and not evolution. It’s all a matter of perspective.

      We align politically but I just can’t stand this guy. It’s like he just discovered swear words during the 2016 election and keeps trying to use them to impress his friends
