“The school and district are aware of the situation,” district spokesman James Canning said in a statement, adding that classes are being held as usual. “This is being reviewed in accordance with district policy and procedures. Because it involves a private matter, we are unable to discuss specific details. Our priority is to ensure students are safe, supported and engaged in learning.”
Bailey Hill faces Ringer’s reactionNetizens are blasting the ringer in the comment section of Libs of TikTok’s video. “Why does she assume she has the right to indoctrinate children with her beliefs without knowing what her parents would want? I think she should be fired and not allowed to teach anymore. She has broken trust,” one user commented. “I’m 77 years old, and know it’s old, but I can’t think of a teacher who disrespected the flag!” One user wrote, while another said, “Any teacher imposing their personal agenda and ideology on children should be fired.”
