Teacher fired for asking student to engage in critical thinking is ‘absolutely insane’
Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power discusses the firing of a teacher who questioned a student's claim that author J.K. Rowling was a transphobe and bigot.
A teacher was fired after his video went viral on X, where he gently challenged a student’s stance on whether Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is a transphobe and bigot.
“It’s absolutely insane, isn’t it the point of education is to teach the next generation how to think critically,” Ms Power told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Hopefully, this teacher will receive a lot of support and go on to bigger and better things and will continue to educate people in some way.”
“He was so careful language when he was being asked about JK Rowling he was pointing out some pretty fair points.”

Yeah he broke the terms of employment--if for no other reason than penning a book on his work laptop, which of course is the school's property and went back to them when he was terminated. (He didn't even back up his work. 🤦♀️) So while he's great at philosophy and I love his method of speaking to his students and getting them to come up with their own answers, he lacks a lot of common sense and ingenuity. If I remember correctly, even in the beginning he was waiting for the ball to drop and said as much--which almost assuredly means he knew he was breaking at least one rule that his continued employment hinged on.

@@5Gburn Incorrect logic. The book would remain his intellectual property regardless and has no permanence so can inflict no harm. To delete it would be unjustifiable commercial assault. This man will now be projected into a much better life having established his integrity and intellect in the public sphere. Should deletion occur local or even remote access and imaging resolution would recover everything unless more focused deletion is employed which would infer deliberation and weaken the defendants case: his former employers. I hope he sues for a very large settlement and also suitably gets compensation from facilitators of his inflicted damage by Musk and others who placed into social media exposure and thus carry culpability.

So sad. The teacher was basically using the old school Aristotle method of inviting you to examine your own thinking by questionning you. It doesnt tell you what to think, it helps you understand issues in your arguments and helps you arrive to better logical conclusion on your own. This is a pillar of Western Thought and civilisation. It breaks my heart that this is a fireable offense in school today.
