With any luck, this guy will get a real job, as an actual babysitter.

Exactly. Trump is the President.

Those who "can't", "teach". Those who "teach" whine about having to work 70% of the year.

The union is not backing this guy. If he was fired over those tweets, they would have insta-filed a grievance.

There is clearly a lot more behind his dismissal than his politics.

There must be some sort of conduct or performance issue in the mix.

I pay my “babysitters” more than any public school teacher makes. But then again they provide a lot more service. If you know what I mean.

You have to explain to RT he just doesn’t get it. It just flew over his head that’s why you got that emoji.

Reprimanded? Perhaps that would be appropriate, depending on the full details of what took place.

You actually think the MEA would have a Trump supporter's back? I do not at all find that to be a safe assumption!
Not the MEA, these kind of things are handled by a local unit, the Walled Lake Education Association. The terms of their collective bargaining agreement would implore them to stand behind a member, regardless of his politics, in a situation like this. Not doing so jeopardizes their very effectiveness and reason for members to pay dues. The union's lack of action speaks volumes.

The district has taken the very unusual step of actually issuing an official statement stating specifically that he was not fired for the tweet. If that weren't true, the former teacher would be suing.

The truth is out there ... but we don't know what it is.
