Bush Pic Cause of Firing?

New York Post Online Edition (BugMeNot.com for login) - "A Long Island elementary-school teacher who is active in Republican politics claims she was canned for hanging a portrait of President Bush in a classroom display featuring him with several former U.S. leaders.

Jillian Caruso, 26, a teacher at Birch Lane Elementary School in Massapequa, said that Principal Joyce Becker-Seddio demanded her resignation after discovering Caruso's political activity last fall, according to papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

Becker-Seddio is the wife of Brooklyn Assemblyman Frank Seddio, a Democrat."
This is just stupid, especially considering that the image was posted next to former Presidents, though that shouldn't matter.

Bush is out President after all, like it or not, and if a teacher wants a picture of our President in her classroom s/he should be allowed to have it.

I agree.

Whether you like him or not he is the President. I would stand up when he enters the room because that is what you are supposed to do. I might not want to shake his hand but I will respect the position.

If it is true the principal fired her because of this then she should be fired.
