  1. This was the final straw in a string of problems for this school. It has seen terrible performance academically lately and they wanted her gone and found an excuse. If this was truly the only reason I would agree it is ridiculous but the school is performing poorly and she gave them an excuse. I will also point out this is a charter school so the rules are different. https://www.schooldigger.com/go/FL/schools/0111008746/school.aspx
  2. We had better appreciate Josh because when he is gone we go back to being mediocre
  3. Agreed- for me to leave my home of 11 happy years you had best be offering a lot more than the home team. At this point in his career another 500k is not worth the effort to move.
  4. Where is the law not being enforced? The law states the books must be removed, and the book was removed. The schools must put out a list of books being brought into the school media center, and they are making the list public. Not sure how it is confusing, unless you are pretending that all teachers would never be inappropriate with a student. The district was not powerless but they are now compelled to make sure the books are proper.
  5. You are describing what the law in Florida does, there is a reason you have not read any headlines of an arrest. The arrested person would have to go far beyond a reasonable interpretation for "age appropriate". I will end with this article which is my county and will add one correction to it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-school-board-removes-parent-from-meeting-for-reading-out-of-sexually-explicit-book-from-hs-library.amp The middle school my daughter goes to had a teacher who had this book available on her shelf at the beginning of this year. I know this teacher and they came from teaching high school and this book was a gift from a parent, teacher simply had to remove book and was warned to be more aware of books on her shelf. Without this law that book would still be available to middle schoolers, which I think we can agree is not appropriate without parental consent.
  6. So we agree that race is not the issue here because I think they all got it based on qualifications.
  7. Why do you only think the ratio is off according to race? Why not according to school? Notre Dame has more players in the NFL than any other school in history but right now there are at least 20 schools with more coaches. By your logic ND is being discriminated against also. Can you name 5 coaches who you feel are not being given a chance because of their race?
  8. Or it could simply be a lie. My school district pays out money all the time for BS claims if they can prove the charge false, even if it did not happen. You never want any accusations and innuendo to come out right before an election if you can't immediately prove it wrong. Cut off the risk before hand.
  9. We basically agree on the overall format and now we are have a major difference on penalty, so I ask you what the proper punishment is for someone who intentionally gives "this book is gay" to a bunch of 5th graders, which tells kids how to meet adults online without parent permission? That was the one of the occurrences that got this whole bill started. Or how about giving them Mein Kumpf without parental awareness? The felony charge will only be use in extreme cases but if it is not on the books the threat is not there, you can't create the law after the fact.
  10. Just to be clear-you mean if a person was told by their boss to remove a book and they decided to keep it in the media center? I would fire them. Where did you hear it was felony? That is inaccurate, you will be fired unless it is so bad that it is truly indefensible.
  11. I will expand on OCLS is Orange County Library System which you can order books online for delivery your house. I do understand the confusion with OCPS which is Orange County Public Schools. OCLS can do as you state not OCPS. OCPS, especially at the lower levels, must make sure that books are proper. My high school just bought 140 new books this calendar year, they put out a notice to the public and none were challenged. In the past 18 months only one was removed, a book with a graphic rape scene. Several were challenged mainly do the fact that minorities were the villains in the books such as Idi Amin
  12. I keep calling you a hack because you have no idea what the FL is all about. You keep pretending that books are "banned" that are easily available. If my daughter orders a book from OCLS I can see the book title online before it is delivered to my house. If a teacher gives her a book I have no idea and unfortunately about 10% of teachers show poor judgement that way.
  13. The school is the government, apparently you are unaware that us public school teachers are paid by the government. Parents and community are making the decision. As I have stated multiple times the books are still available at the OCLS libraries, once again thanks for confirming you are a simply political hack.
  14. Maybe I am missing the point you are making, why are you for schools putting sexually explicit books into children hands if not to sexualize them? These books are still at the main library if parents want to check them out and give them to kids.
  15. Campbell would be fine as a low cost rotation guy for our Dline but he is not a major impact player anymore.
  16. Good to know you realize your viewpoint is indefensible and just gave up.
  17. You need to check who you are responding to I less you are trying to state that sexualizing children is fun.
  18. Yes a political hack for claiming that a book being given to high schoolers is "banned". It is a lie and only true to political hacks. The books all are not banned because I can get all of them from my library, so I ask again why do you want to fight to sexualize children?
  19. The curriculum has very strict guidelines, and parents picked the school for this reason. It appears the principal went outside the guidelines intentionally and was fired for it. Your comment about sharia law is interesting since you are equating not showing a child nudity to the belief that gays should be murdered and woman are property of men, once again showing that politics are more important than kids.
  20. Are you drunk? I don't know what you think this means but reporters do not questions students under 18 due to privacy laws. Just like they don't ask studentd about Biden and his daughter
  21. What books do you think are being removed from schools? Not understanding the reference at this point means you are a political hack who literally has paid no attention to the real story. https://restoreottawa.substack.com/p/this-book-is-gay-a-how-to-book-for
  22. Do you appreciate the parents for calling out the small minded bureaucrat principal? Or do you just mean you like liberals?
  23. Schools don't have libraries they have media centers, we don't have librarians, we have specialists and the media center books are generally reference books or current magazines, the books for entertainment are usually in teachers rooms now, at least in Florida. But I have a real question, why would you fire someone for a playboy if not for a book that tells a child how to meet people online?
  24. So since someone else is incompetent you will let them lead you?
