re: #340 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

[…] When the story spread nationally, the district was criticized for taking disciplinary action against Mr. Barron for his teaching methods regarding African-American history.

[…]

“The teacher in question was placed on paid leave to give the district time to fully consider what occurred in this classroom,” he said. “As a result of incorrect information, a highly respected and loved teacher, and one who has done much for his students and the community, has had to endure a public airing of what should have ended through a district discussion.”

Internal investigations of transient matters are spread so easily. It’s a modern enabled form of gossip.
