Apparently some school district in Missouri prohibited local high schools from putting on the musical Grease as well as Arthur Miller's The Crucible recently as the plays offended some local church.

People need to loosen the screws on their chastity belts. We didn't get expelled for nailing a pig's nose to the vice principal's office door.
 

The reason the guy is being disciplined isn't because he used a swear word, it's because the guy is using school equipment to encourage students to engage in political activity and implicitly break the immigration laws of the US. Last I checked, we don't pay taxes for teachers to tell kids what political positions to support.
 

The long line of legal cases says that teachers don't check their First Amendment rights at the door. Nor are children so ingenuous or stupid that they can't begin making their own political decisions, which is why civics and history classes start in the early grades. And why there's such a thing as student government paid for by the school. We even lowered the voting age to 18 since we felt if you were old enough to serve in the armed forces, you're old enough to vote. Democracies should encourage interest and participation in politics, not discourage it.

What the coach was fired for was having the wrong ideology. The pretext came later.
