"We are collecting more information," Beaver schools superintendent Donald Childs told 27 News. When asked when teacher Betsy Ramsdale would return to her duties at Beaver Dam Middle School, Childs said he could not provide that information. "Not yet."
...In a statement, Christopher Ahmuty of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin said Ramsdale should not have been forced out of the classroom.

This is stupid. I'm glad the ACLU is on this.
While I have no love at all for the ACLU, this is a case where they might actually accomplish something useful. I hope this lady is vindicated for an obvious, idiotic and rather stupid action by the school board. There is NO justification for their actions. AT ALL.
Hopefully the fact that his teacher is an adult will make this moronic administrators realize just how stupid they have become.
Idiotic school decision. Good to see the ACLU defending the 2nd Amendment.
It seems to me that they would be defending the 1st amendment, here, rather than the 2nd.
This is stupid. I'm glad the ACLU is on this.
This is a tricky situation. The only thing I can say is that this woman is incredibly stupid. What she did was miles away from p.c. and people that are not careful, well thats what they get.

No, I was talking about her picture, but now that you speak of it, maybe having a fb account is not such a great idea either.
Alright so I got the rest of your post.....but the fact that this teacher is an adult means what exactly? No school shootings by stressed out, deranged adults I'm guessing?
Maybe you could start of a comedic list of protectionisms lacking statistical justification.No, I was talking about her picture, but now that you speak of it, maybe having a fb account is not such a great idea either.

It might in fact be a loaded gun,(figuratively speaking) to have an ultra liberal org like the ACLU involved at all. The suspension is bull, but to be expected, in light of the gun grab lobby and the teacher unions being siamese twins on such matters.
Do you realize that the teacher's union represents the teacher?
