Ok... Question #1: you don't "really give parental leave"? You.. what? You can't just *not give parental leave*. Is this not provincially mandated labour law?

this reminds me of a female teacher that was fired from the boys school next door because she was getting married to a man who's previous marriage hadn't been annulled through the catholic church. after all that it turns out it actually had been annulled. oh and the principle who fired her resigned lol.

honestly the most effective people that can fight this kind of thing are the students, fellow teachers and parents.

True, but it's worth the rest of us boosting the signal and saying, "this sort of harassment is way not cool".

This is happening in my hometown and I know quite a few students at LFA.

A lot of the students are now being harassed on their way to school as theyre being identified by their school uniform. People are just screaming profanities at these school girls who still remain totally in the dark about their schools reasoning for sending their teacher home.

So the school has responded by having a dress down day where the girls can go to school without their uniforms because parents and administration are afraid the harassment will continue more severely.

oh and i should add that during the dress down day tomorrow that a large number of students are wearing rainbows in support
