(38,726 posts)Again, it was the procedure of the firing, not the firing itself. That is what this is what the OP was meant to discuss. The immediate firing of this person. As I read the comments above, it seems that many see my questioning of the "immediate firing" as questioning the ability of the powers that be to fire this person. I do not question that at all. I have never questioned the firing of this person. It is how and when. Also, will firing under certain circumstances (like immediately) be consistent with the rules that were in place before. Or, maybe rules within a union contract.
So, if a teacher hits a student, should that teacher be instantly fired, or should some kind of hearing and investigation be held? Yes, teachers that hit students were not instantly fired. Some, are never fired. That is the point of the OP, and that point seems to be lost in attacking me. Procedures exist for ugly situations. This is such a situation in my opinion..That is my opinion ..Instant firing as opposed to a short wait and some kind of investigation. Then, fire her, of course.
This was supposed to be about the procedure of firing someone and has turned into attacking me for raising that question. As stated, if I did not make that clear, I am sorry. It was not my intent to defend a racist comment made on the social network.
