Teacher suspended for calling students "future criminals" on Facebook...

A first-grade teacher was suspended Thursday following alleged comments on her Facebook page in which she said she felt like a "warden" overseeing "future criminals," according to a district official.

The teacher at School 21, whose name was not released, was put on suspension with pay after a "significant" number of parents, having seen the posts Wednesday, arrived at the school and demanded their children be pulled from her class, board president Theodore Best said.

"The reason why she was suspended was because the incident created serious problems at the school that impeded the functioning of the building," said Best, who along with the other board members were informed of the incident at an emergency executive session Thursday. "You can't simply fire someone for what they have on a Facebook page; but if that spills over and affects the classroom then you can take action." More...
