When many of us were kids we never even pictured our teachers outside of the classroom. We didn't think about spouse, kids, vacations, pets...nothing. That is how it should be. Social media again is just too much; private lives need to stay private. Getting fired for sharing an opinion is a bit much; but being dumb enough to post something controversial and/or inappropriate shows a level of stupidity that imho is a fireable offense for any public servant.
While at A&M, a member of our friend group was a soldier who had done two tours and came back to school to get his degree. He was dating a girl who was a second-grade teacher at one of the CS elementaries. The first few times she came out with us to The Hall on a Thursday night were a bit jarring. Was my 2nd-grade teacher out partying during the week? Did she ever show up a little hungover? I had no clue at the time, and how it should be.
However, the fact that they didn't have the mental ability to think before they posted means they aren't fit to teach.
