Abstract
This artifact will consist of a perhaps fictional or factious case, and will represent both
“Freddie Watts, principal, and Jimmy Brothers, assistant principal, are African-American
administrators assigned to administer a predominantly black high school. Ann Griffin, a white
tenured teacher, during a heated conversation with the two administrators stated that she “hated
all black folks.” When word leaked on her statement, it caused negative reactions among
The principal recommended dismissal based on concerns regarding her ability to treat
Pro Support
This is a good decision. Because of her statement, she shows obvious racial bias.
Ultimately, schools must do what is best for students. What is best for students in this instance is
to dismiss this teacher for this reason. Although this doesn’t relate directly to staff, Bethel School
District #43 v. Fraser is a good example of a Supreme Court case where you can still be held
Pro Support
This woman’s claim could affect her work relationships. Not only will it affect what her
bosses think of her, it may affect her coworkers’ perception of her and so on. Others could hear
and it may destroy her work ethic. Regardless, she may not be treating her students fairly. A case
that represents having free speech to a point in the school setting is Tinker v. Des Moines
Con Support.
Although what she said is wrong, one could argue that teachers can’t be punished for
exercising their first amendment right. Snyder v. Phelps; however, shows that some things are

too offensive. Regardless, one could argue the offense of what she said. Perhaps it was not “too
offensive.” This is up to the courts because some could claim that the principals have a bias.
Con Support.
Another argument one could make is that the principals could be biased. Although what
she said is completely out of line, one could claim that they are emotionally biased in making
this decision. Once again, employees can state whether or not they are speaking as a
amendment, like in the case Connick v. Myers. It should be up to the court to make that decision,
since some could argue the principals have a bias. (Braybrooke, 2018)
Decision.
Although the case could go both ways, I support their decision. Personally, I believe that
when one openly has such a racial bias, they cannot treat students fairly. In the field of education,
we do what is best for kids, and this simply is not an educator who can withhold this to the same
efforts to all her students. I believe that we may have freedom of speech, but when one is so
offensive and cruel, there still may be consequences to what we say. Especially in the field of
