"Lakota Teacher Faces Termination for Attending Concert While on Sick Leave"

A Lakota English teacher, Eileen Washburn, is facing termination and is currently on unpaid leave after calling off sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville. The school board voted to keep her on unpaid leave and recommended termination unless she files a written demand for a hearing. Washburn's actions are said to have violated sick leave policies, ethics codes, and professional conduct principles. The board's decision was supported by newly appointed member Christina French, a former Lakota administrator and principal.

"Controversial 'Rainbowland' Song Leads to Teacher's Termination"

The School District of Waukesha Board of Education voted to terminate an elementary teacher, Melissa Tempel, after she vented frustration on Twitter over the banning of the song "Rainbowland" at a school concert. Parents claimed the decision was made due to the song's LGBTQ+ acceptance and references to rainbows. Tempel's lawyer argued that she was exercising her right to free speech, while the school board accused her of violating board policies by expressing her feelings on social media before speaking with her supervisors. The decision has sparked protests both in support of and against Tempel.
