Physics Teacher Fired for Insisting on Academics
Democracy Project tells the story of veteran physics teacher Larry Neace, who was fired from his job. His crime? He enforced a decade-old policy of penalizing students for wasting time in class. He had a student that slept in class during a class assignment, so he halved the grade on the assignment as he promised to do at the beginning of the year.
The problem was that the student was a star football player at the school. The school asked him to undo the markdown of the grade, and he refused. They fired him. Read on for more of the story. Michelle Malkin is also on the case.
