107. I did not include the comment for this reason.

And I am sorry if you saw that as a "defense of that comment"

It wasn't about the comment, (I didn't think it was, but I see so many do) it was how the teacher was fired. Are there procedures in place for the firing.....Now, why is that important, you might ask..What is the big deal with procedures?

Unions have instituted procedures to protect teachers from being fired for the wrong reasons. For example, a teacher tells the principal that he/she is wrong on something, say in front of the entire faculty.. Teacher fired for speaking up. Far worse has happened . Therefore, my point was to know if immediate dismissal for this comment on social media was correct. The comment itself obviously was worth firing over. As she got fired, did she get fair treatment? And I did not make that clear.

..Why? Is that important. Because so many teachers do not get fair treatment..(see above paragraph)

What I have just written, is what I was thinking. I was not, under any circumstances trying to defend her comment, and I am sorry that I did not make that clear, to you, and to everyone. I was never intending to defend her statement on the social media. Her statement stands, and I should have included it in OP if that would have clarified things better.
