"Jordan High School teacher Karen Salazar, center is greeted with cheers during an after-school rally to protest her contract not being renewed."
Students and fellow educators are rallying behind a fired Jordan High School teacher they say was sacked for encouraging political activism among her students. A union official said the critique against Salazar included a statement that her teaching was too "Afro-centric."
Karen Salazar: "My students are out here, not because of me, you know, and I think that that point was made really clear, that it's not about me. It's about them recognizing that this school system for too long has been not only been denying them human rights, basic human rights, but doing it on purpose, in order to keep them subservient, in order to subjugate them in society."
Sad, as it appears she was actually teaching her students something more than how to be conformist sheep.
