According to Jonathan Zimmerman's op ed on
"Teaching across our differences," some people think (I use that word loosely) that political correctness denies them free-rein to racist expressions, infringing upon their unalienable right to tweet hate.
Last week a teacher , Mary Durstein, was placed on paid leave
for racist and anti-Muslim tweets.
This is what she tweeted:
"No more political correctness after 1/20 can't wait
finally liberated."
She also responded
to a tweet calling Obama a
"Muslim douchebag." She added, "Exactly."
Then she re-tweeted Ann Coulter's post demanding the deportation of Muslims.
A few weeks earlier, an Arkansas science teacher posted
remarks calling Pressident Obama a "spider monkey" and Michelle Obama
"America's First Chimp."
Is this what the people in the red states call freedom of expression?
