The former teacher says she made an “emotionally charged decision” to share her concerns in a TikTok video.
AUSTIN, Texas - A Texas elementary school teacher says she was fired over a TikTok video discussing a meeting in which she was questioned about why her students decided to protest the Pledge of Allegiance. Now, she’s fighting for policy changes to keep it from happening to someone else.
“She went on to ask me what brought about the decision for my students to sit during the Pledge of Allegiance,” Deloretto-Chudy said. “So, I explained that all to my assistant principal, and she didn’t buy it. She didn’t believe that they would be able to make the decision on their own,” the former teacher said.
The employee handbook states under a section about electronic communication and personal use that “employees will be held to the same professional standards in their public use of electronic communication as they are for any public conduct.”
