Your example involves a teacher teaching something that is factually wrong. That ought to bother any parent. My children all had instances with teachers teaching something that was factually incorrect. In each instance, one of their parents taught them the correct facts or information, and then suggested to the child to ask their teacher about it. If that did not work, one of us went to the inevitable teacher-student conference to chat about it. Sometimes, the child simply misinterpreted the teacher's remarks.
Any parent who takes a child's view of what happened in the classroom as gospel is naive.
There's a huge difference between the way things should be and the way things are.
Hawn is being replaced. He will have no further impact on the kids he was teaching. He'll be replaced by someone the school administrators prefer. Not necessarily because the new teacher matches their ideological world view, but because they're trying to run a school.
Hawn was making that difficult. Parents were complaining, and probably threatening. Politicians were telling voters, "We don't need people like that teaching our kids. Vote for me!"
I doubt that Hawn was too uneducated to see this happening. That's why I think he decided to drop the job and go out with a bang.
And filed a lawsuit.
What a Wo..st.r.
The kids are going to be taught by the least offensive teacher the school administrators can find.
Was that in the best interests of the kids?
