A math teacher who was fired this year for allegedly calling her students 'n*****s' may be re-hired after a judge ruled the school district didn't follow the proper steps in her termination.
Joyce Quiller, 51, taught math to at-risk students at Jean Ribault High School in Jacksonville, Florida when she got her termination letter last February.
A judge last month ruled that the Duval School District violated Quiller's union contract by firing her, instead of first putting her on suspension without pay.
'The School Board skipped step three and went directly to termination even though, if the allegations were true, they would have amounted to what is considered a minor offense,' Reginal Luster, Quiller's legal consultant, told WJXT. 'Not some type of severe misconduct on behalf of Ms Quiller. It does not warrant the termination.'
The school board will meet next week to discuss what to do about the judge's ruling.

If it was a white teacher, it would have made national news, the teacher would have been fired and jailed for a hate crime!
ReplyDeleteOh heck yeah, we just took a basketball team away from a white man for using the word "blacks." It was such a "severe offense." Now here is a black women calling students "n*****rs, and the court rules that would have been a "minor offense" and that she should have been suspended without pay for said "minor offense." Racism is alive and well--against white people.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of how the unions are killing the progress of our country!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that you can get fired for telling the truth,
ReplyDeleteAnother sad issue is that if this was a white teacher they wouldn't be getting their job back like in this Case.
