Teachers Hold "End War" Signs At Military Assembly
Two teachers at Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School have touched off a firestorm after holding up an "End War" sign at a school assembly where six students who've enlisted in the military were being honored.
Many in the community say the teachers crossed a line and treated their own students with disrespect.
The students received a standing ovation, but at that point the two teachers sat down refusing to clap.
Teacher Marybeth Verani defends her protest saying, "I'm showing students in a democracy how to exercise dissent."
Some students responded by leafleting her classroom with signs saying "Support Our Troops."
The honored students were stunned.
I would call it more of a disgrace.
ReplyDeleteThe school board should extend their right to fire the teachers... in unified dissent to their actions.
