moviefreakmind, agree it’s not the kind of person we want teaching kids. But, as you now admit, when the government takes adverse action like firing that implicates the 1st Amendment. Whether some voices deserve oppression doesn’t make it non-oppression, as I’d think you’d agree if she were fired for being a Hindu or transgender.

I raise the point to show how inconvenient and even dangerous protections of liberty can be. I think the school will have an easy time getting rid of this particular teacher, as I said. And that’s a good thing. But if you really think white supremacists should never be teachers, we gotta do something about the 1st Amendment. Your “common right wing talking points” preface is irrelevant.
