Austin ISD teacher fired over viral TikTok video | FOX 7 Austin 

Poor thing! She has no idea she was the problem.

She's not a teacher. She's an activist. Hard telling what else she was doing to the kids.

This is the SECOND time I saw this woman in the news and the first time was her going viral for a different TikTok where she criticized her boss after being told not to push her political views on her kids. She's a lying snake and I'm glad she's gone. The school is based.

Any adult who goes on TikTok to rant about ANYTHING is certifiably insane. Firing her was absolutely the right move.

If she doesn’t have the good sense to not embarrass her bosses publicly than she doesn’t have the good sense to teach.

as an elementary school teacher myself, I'm just so impressed that this middle schooler was able to get a job teaching! Now that shes going on the news, no one's going to hire her lol. Attention-seeking behavior like hers is such a good way to kill your early career.

As an educator, she did several things wrong. Additionally, how can she become an advocate after one year, with one principal? Her audacity just blows my mind.

Good grief....I glanced at her TikTok account and it is even more pitiful with all the videos she has posted since this happened. She's coming across as an attention-seeking, immature crybaby, pretend victim who is eating up all of this ridiculous media coverage. The days of newsworthy news seem to be gone... smh

Sounds like a good school to me. Parents need to support this school board. Texas still has some hope.

I like that one of her complaints was that after firing her they took her badge, locked her out of the apps, and cut her off from communicating with others. Yes, this is what happens when you get fired.

If an adult with a college degree cannot figure out not to go on social media and rant about their employer then they need to find out the hard way the difference between how adults behave vs children, most adults at some point may not agree with their employer but they keep it off of social media, so stinking immature 😑

She prioritized herself instead of her teaching. Now she has more time to prioritize herself.

When you realize the real world isn't the same as the woke bubble you lived in for four years in your college

This Tik Tok video is going to keep her from getting another job in teaching. Nobody likes a whiny coworker that airs their dirty laundry on social media.

The only one she embarrassed was herself

She was the only teacher in the room giving testimony, because the other teachers knew better than to do what she did.

She's an activist not a teacher . She was telling students what to think not how to think . Big difference.

Scary thing is these are the people teaching children. She doesn't even recognize why the school has issue with her. God please help us.

Administrative leave is more generous than she deserves.

I taught in 5 different schools. Every district has an ethics clause in the contracts that teachers sign. So that's one against her. Plus, if you're hired on a probationary contract, the district does NOT have to renew or offer you a permanent position. That's strike 2 against her. Been that way since I was a newbie in 1981. Is it fair? Maybe not, but if you wanna teach ya gotta go by the district policies. 🤷‍♀️

She felt demoralized for what? Not doing her job and being lazy? And then ranting about it on social media like a child. Give me a break

Newsflash: No employer is going to enjoy being ripped on TikTok. Her arrogance is something to behold.

In one of her videos she said..i haven't even slept this whole year! I am not a morning person! 😂😂😂 Oh the DRAMA!!!! The people who make this country function wake up at 4am little girl.

Imagine not comprehending why your employer fired you for sh*t talking them on a public social media platform.

This person is obviously trouble, if you can't see that just in her actions, tone, and demeanor there is something wrong with your trouble radar. Good on AISD to nip it in the bud.

I am confused....she thinks she was given the administrative leave unjustified? 😂😂😂 you go to social media shit on your employer like a teenager because they dare to give you a corrective action because you don't respond to emails in a timely manner (just one example), and you believe that the word is against you? WTF is wrong with people today? Any accountability as an educator? And you tearing up? Unbelievable

We all have problems and frustrations at work. But when we start venting about it on social media we are asking for trouble. That's the way it is.

Damn, I feel like driving the 80 miles up to Austin just to LAUGH IN HER FACE. 🤣

So she basically had a job review and got mad and aired it all over TikTok. Toughen up butter cup ! Everything is not going to say your perfect all the time like your mama!

Get the attention she thirsted for, then loses her job. Way to go.

As an educator in the United States of America your job is to teach the children how to be good citizens not lazy bones.

Less than a year teaching? She doesn’t even know what she doesn’t know yet. This generation, smdh.

If all the students in her class 'chose' to sit through the pledge of allegiance it is likely she pressured them to make that 'choice'.

It's called professionalism she should try it

As a former high school teacher here, this demonstrates a HUGE problem in education now...lack of maturity and common sense of young people coming out of college who the public is expecting to teach their kids. And it doesn't matter if they are from liberal or conservative backgrounds either. Want to get OUTRAGED? Demand that our government make it easier for older, more mature people to get into teaching. There are lots of people in their 50's who could be wonderful teachers, but there is not an easy path to become a teacher. I had to pay $5000 out of my pocket to go through a program. There was no financial aid! And all that to get a temporary teaching job for a year that paid less than half what I used to make. How many people are willing or stupid enough to do what I did?

How would she know what teachers need. She taught for 3 months and couldn’t handle one meeting critiquing her. She couldn’t hold the job for 3 months. She has no business advocating for teachers.

You know, I am a teacher myself, and have taught more than 10 years now. How is this person, as a "first year teacher" even able to give advise on policy issues? She doesn't have good sense it seems, and doesn't know to separate personal and professional issues. She is not the kind of person that should be teaching children as she is more of an activist than anything. If you get fired in ultra-leftist/liberal Austin, you have to be really extreme.

Someone with her level of knowledge of social media use and consequences should not be teaching anything.

She’s not an educator. She’s an activist!

Okay, so you want to go on internet and discuss a private meeting on your employer, and expect to walk to work and greeted with smiles? Obviously she wanted to get attention and she got it. Now she has her 15 minutes of fame. She should have been FIRED not admin leave.

it’s just not classy or right to go on social media to complain about anything - there’s appropriate ways of dealing with issues - you should’ve taken a more mature/ professional approach!

Sitting down while saying the Pledge of Allegiance is like wearing sweatpants to your best friend's wedding. It says you no longer care about anything but what's on your phone.

How Fox 7 decided to cover this story? They are no longer conservatives on these issues. You may think she's a victim but a big NO NO.

That's what you get it sucks to be all about yourself😂😂

Yup… the school district did the right thing. What was demoralizing about not responding to management in a timely manner? Or, not having your students stand for the Pledge of Allegiance? The latter of the two really upsets me. As a retired Army Soldier I fought for our nation. The least you could do is teach our young ones to show respect for me, and me fellow brothers and sisters at arms. I hope her little tantrum driven stunt shows her that exploitation on social media doesn’t always end well for people like her.

She deserved to get fired

What was she thinking?!

People like this don't need to be teaching kids.

It’s a good thing she gave them ammo to fire her because she is TROUBLE. Good riddance!

As an Educator myself, its not about her teaching, this is a job like various other jobs, there are policies with Social Media and you signed an agreement to adhere to those policies. She is probably an amazing teacher, but this generation takes everything piece of their life to social media and you cant do that in some professions. I hope this doesnt keep her from educating children, but more of a lesson on adhering to policies

How a self centered, self entitled, narcissistic personality type could have been hired, to begin with, should lead to HR being held accountable to some extent.

She may have had some valid points but you air your grievances in public against your boss, you're gonna get canned unless your union backs you.

She's the one who "taught them their civil rights" which in liberal speak means telling them why they should hate cops and disrespect the flag. Third graders didn't suddenly stage a mass protest against standing and saying the pledge of allegiance.

Not allowing teachers on Tik Tok sounds like good policy to me.

I remember an elementary school. Public mind you. That allowed teachers that loved to teach a lot of freedom to teach the expected basics however they wanted and it was wonderful!

You are a first-year teacher on probation and you have no better sense than to use social media to criticize your superiors? You deserve to be fired.

Going on social media to dis your boss and whine about your job. Who would have thought that might have consequences? She doesn't deserve to be teaching impressionable children.

That’s obvious…you got to read policy

Her students “choosing” to sit during the pledge of allegiance. I’m sure her hate rhetoric for this country had nothing to do with it.

She deserved to get fired. Don't rant on social media about your students, job, or boss. Freedom of speech doesn't protect you from losing your job. She also seems nutty to me amd I don't think I would want my kids in her class.

"Look at me Im such a victim! It couldn't possibly be my own actions that got me fired. Now I need to become an activist😑." Smdh

What do you expect? Air your grievances privately and consult when needed.

Going against policy is grounds for dismissal. She’s not running her own school. She has dozens of supportive staff, peers and superiors that run an efficient system and count on her cooperation and attention to the rules. She wants to buck the system and practice “free speech” then she pays the consequences. A bad employee is a bad employee, period.

She mentioned anxiety for when she sues later 😂😂😂 yeahhh i see you.

You violated the social media policy of AISD....the end

People need to stay off social media and take their jobs more seriously

Yeah, she has anxiety. Being disrespectful about her bosses on social media will not go well in Texas.

She allowed her class to sit during the Pledge of Allegiance? Keep her from teaching

This woman needs to learn to keep that mouth a bit more quiet and that everything that crosses your mind, does not need to be voiced.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you’ve just witnessed the birth of a new Flight Attendant. Great…….

What about the disrespect allowing her students to sit for the Pledge.

Dam social media is one Hella of a drug.

A teacher having a tictok account is the first red flag

Man, I hate tik tok. The platform for a lot of whiners! Plus, you shat on your employer! That is a means of disciplinary action AT ALMOST EVERY JOB🤦‍♀️ People doing too much without consequences... that's wtf is wrong with our society today.

She signed a contract. She broke it. Bye.

Well duh, you didn’t feel supported because they weren’t there to support you. You failed to maintain policy.

First of all that's the problem who is a grown adult woman making tick tock I can see a child a teen but s woman venting on a social app is ridiculous this is the new generation teaching our kids stupid people. Glad you got fired

People better start doing something about our children being subjected these whackjob "influencers" in our schools... 💥

How clueless can one person be!?! YOU are the problem!

wow she felt not supported by her administrator because she got told to try to repond to email a bit more promptly? I've heard way sadder stories of teachers actually being disregarded by administrators. She should NOT be in the capitol after only teaching for 1 year

Awww. Poor little millennial. 😢 grow up and realize that you can't go whine to the public about internal policies. Duh.

She's not qualified to teach. She acts more like a student than a teacher.

If a teacher uses tik tok, ur not learning anything😂😂😂

Teachers don't have more rights than the parents. Bye Felicia 😎

I just watched her last video. She was "crying" with not 1 tear. 👀

Holy moly... consequences for your actions?... Who would have thought?

She is not a teacher. She is an activist.

I believe that she is truly unaware of her attitude towards her job … this is the problem with Wokesim it’s not made for the Real World , nor should it be promoted in society !!!! Activism does not mean trying to embarrass your employer

Girl just go to Another district

Yep, she just made herself un-hirable as an educator. NO school district in their right minds would want this kind of liability.

Rumor has it that if you publicly complain about your boss to a million people that it may cause a disruption in employment.

In America, you are so Free you MUST stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Kids sitting down for the pledge… Sad

You felt disrespected??? You let your kids sit for the pledge of allegiance! SMH

She says at the end she was the only teacher advocating her agenda at a hearing. MAYBE that should have told her SHE is the problem.

Next class, we'll discuss the historical importance of Star Wars and yoda's impact on our social economic lives... What a bozo LOL.

Herman Becker (1857-1933) operated a successful downtown café, and he bought part of the historic Bouldin homestead in south Austin in 1891. His son H.E. Becker and son-in-law P.A. Wilde, proprietors of the Becker Lumber Company, donated three acres of Bouldin land to the Austin Independent School District in 1935 for a new school site.

Since when do teachers get fired? She was probably transferred. These things constantly get misreported as terminations. Usually, they're getting paid to take phone calls or make copies in the district office or something

If she wasnt unemployable before, she sure is now. First year teacher must learn to follow rules.

Got EXACTLY what you deserved!
