Yes, teachers promoting LEFTIST views in class. People don't seem to openly object to that but it if is the conservative view, then that is objectionable.
So true, teachers can promote the most extreme and nutty leftist views in class. But if a teacher is so much as caught having conservative thoughts away from school s/he is subject to a Salem witch trial.

BS.
There are teachers all across the country promoting the Biblical rather than the scientific perspective on creation.
Interesting problem. You could argues it strongly either way.
A Teacher Marched to the Capitol. When She Got Home, the Fight Began.
Even in San Clemente, a well-heeled redoubt of Southern California conservatism, Hostetter stood out for her vehement embrace of both the rebellion against COVID-19 restrictions and the stolen-election lies pushed by former President Donald Trump. This was, after all, a teacher so beloved that each summer parents jockeyed to get their children into her fourth grade class.
But it was not until Hostetter’s husband posted a video of her marching down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol on Jan. 6 that her politics collided with an opposite force gaining momentum in San Clemente. https://news.yahoo.com/teacher-march...154721241.html
You know, if you participate in a violent effort to effectively overthrow the Constitution of the United States and also flout public health guidelines with loopy conspiracy theories, then there are going to be consequences.
And or those people who offer the notion that this was somehow a thought crime, let's get real. Had she put a Trump bumper sticker on her car or hammered a Trump sign in her yard, nobody would care one way or another.
This standard applies to many professions...teachers, police officers, etc. It's generally in the Code of Conduct regulations, if an organization has one, or in the Ethics and Integrity rules.
If anything you do outside work reflects negatively on the organization or the profession (and I guess that depends on who is doing the evaluating!), you can be called on it.
And someone does make an interesting point that this particular teacher appears to have leaned conservative, so it will be just fine to put her through the wringer. What a world we live in.

But only if liberals and democrats disapprove of it. If it's something they approve it can be even done inside the classroom.

And yet, in 33 years in public education I never saw that happen. Except on the college level...once. And then it was a professor who spent the semester teaching Reaganomics, when he was supposed to be teaching "educational finance".

I amend my last post.
We did have a teacher who literally preached religion in his theater arts class, to the point of condemning girls to hell for the clothes they were wearing. He didn't last long.
