^ The complete opposite of that.
Pledging event occurred, kid remained seated, and the teacher's feelings were hurt.
The teacher lost control of her emotions and had an outburst declaring that "anyone who remained seated was disrespectful."
The teacher didn't know if the kid was engaging in protest, pulled a muscle in her back, was a Jehovah's Witness or what... just that it triggered an outpouring of emotion that rendered her ineffective in her job to control the classroom and provide education.
The student then became the educator... and at the end of the full day of instruction she had the maturity to confront the derelict teacher and explain her motivations- and that we live under the Bill of Rights in the United States of America.
The teacher then, again became overwhelmed with emotion and lost her self-control, and told the student to "go back to her country," which the teacher not deny saying.
There are too many fully qualified, hard-working people losing their jobs for no reason other than their "tenure" in a CIV role.
Let the Teacher go to Russia if she wants to continue practicing her trade.
OR... alternatively, simply apply the standard and terminate her employment. Fill the role with a fully qualified person who can control their emotions and behaves appropriately.
