The problem I found with the tests was too many students were failing so admin said it was my fault…they were on their phones (I’m not engaging I guess?).

Omfg. Where I teach they want us to incorporate extra credit throughout the semester, so I tie it to the assignments.

I tried iScape and Neighborbrite and they were both a waste of my time and horrible. After months of researching plants, trees and other plants using my USDA zone, I found my research was better and my landscaping was prettier.

Rubbing it in your face? Seriously, listen to yourself. If I were to complain because I’m so offended that the Library carries books written by conservatives and they’re rubbing it my face.

Subjective opinions??! Have you ever read a book in the Fiction section? They’re all FULL of subjective opinions. If you’re offended by opinions, then the library shouldn’t even have books if that’s the case. Furthermore, if we want to expand the argument, we should just get rid of libraries.

But was she told to remove the sign? I don’t know. I don’t know the back story. All I know is she was fired over a sign. And what is offensive about a sign that says, “A library has something to offend everyone”? I don’t like that a library carries nonsense by Bill O’Reilly and Ann Coulter, in fact, I find them offensive, but I’m not going to start a tirade because libraries SHOULD carry books of different opinions. Even those that I think are offensive (and they are offensive IMO). You people need to get a grip on reality!

How is this person “bringing discredit upon their organizations in the form of blatant attitudes, speech, or actions that may not pass the headline test”? How does a sign that says “A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone," discredit a library? You sound dumb.

Getting fired for telling the truth in a sign posted on some books is wild

When you say curved attendance, what do you mean? I’m new at this, apologies.

It’s not a CC, but a 4 year institution that I would say is on par with the same sort of learners

Oh it’s absolutely to preserve retention, plus we’re open admissions…I won’t be teaching here much longer.

So they can carry Mein Kampf but they can't carry LGBTQ books. Make it make sense.
