NFT: Two teachers fired for playing Eff, Marry, Kill in a bar....

Britt in VA : 2/16/2017 11:24 am
with the subjects being their peers. Somebody decided to secretly film their conversation, then post it on Youtube. Predictable outrage followed, then dismissals.

Quote:
In January, gathered at the Bangor Tavern Bar and Grill in Michigan, several teachers and a secretary employed by the Bangor public school system decided to play a game. The game has been played in many bars many times before, normally in the context of celebrities or popular television characters. But the faculty chose to substitute their co-workers for Chris Pratt and Khal Drogo, discussing which of their colleagues they would kill, marry or sleep with (although they used a cruder verb than that). They also made fun of their pupils in ways that one parent would later describe as “heartbreaking.”

Unknown to the staff members and teachers, a nearby patron was recording the game. A six-minute video found its way to YouTube, and spread to the computer screens of Bangor parents and beyond.

An attorney for the school district, Robert Huber, told Michigan Live that the teachers did not discuss having sex with students, contrary to some reports. “The false impression that was created is that teachers were talking about whether they would marry, ‘f’ or kill students,” Huber said. “There’s no truth to that at all.”

Rather, the video showed three school employees naming co-workers to kill or sleep with, Huber said. The administration had known about the video for several weeks, he said; the footage showed seven Bangor employees at the bar, including four other teachers who were present but did not participate. The administrative secretary was the only participant who mentioned students, according to Huber.

On Feb. 13, during a school board meeting, outrage over the contents came to a head. Parents expressed concern that the school had known about the video and asked board members to explain what they knew.

“It’s disturbing to know that these are our educators,” said Jennifer Prentice, a parent in the school district, to western Michigan’s Fox 17. “They are in charge of protecting our children, keeping our children safe, and the fact that they just blew that out of the water shows their character and shows that maybe they’re not right for this job.”

“It was heartbreaking,” Amanda Reprogal, who said her 15-year-old son was mentioned in the video, also told Fox 17. “My heart sank, and I was disgusted.”

The only thing that wound up killed, in the end, were jobs. A few of the school employees — as of Tuesday, two teachers — have handed in resignation papers. The school secretary also resigned Monday.

One school staffer, who felt the video contained threats, filed a complaint with Bangor police. Bangor’s police chief, Tommy Simpson, reviewed the footage, according to WZZM 13. The police chief did not follow up with charges but noted the school was conducting an internal assessment. Fox 17 reported that the four teachers said to have witnessed the game were given verbal reprimands.


What a world we live in now....

in that this shouldn't be grounds for dismissal.

You should expect that if you get caught engaging in an innocuous, but in very poor taste, game there's going to be repercussions. It calls into question character, and somehow or other that will seep into performance evaluation. but outright firing for something that happened outside of the school property? no.

But you can't expect privacy in a bar. if it were so loud and so ongoing that someone takes the time to record it, you're probably well over the line in terms of civility and conduct.

There's a lot of job situations where you piss off the wrong person, your job is in jeopardy. teaching in a non union environment is one of them. it's nothing unique, except that the number of people you can piss off is a little larger than at a local gas station.

I agree I do not believe they should be fired over free speech. These are the parents who say do not discipline my kids, give them all participation trophies. They were out hanging out playing a game that celebrities have all played. I can understand the relationships with some of the people they were talking about could become strained. Firing these people to me is wrong. Suspend them reprimand them. Verbal, or written reprimand to me is fine. If there is criminal charges then every celebrity who has played this game should be charged too. Did they show bad taste in this, sure they did but no way they should be fired.

not to have conversations about students away from school. Period. Full Stop. It's just something you don't do. Students have a right to privacy.

I hate that bars have become this. Used to be you could go to a bar and engage in adult behaviors that children and others who were easily offended would be shielded from. Today you go into a bar and half the people in there are staring at their phones. You never know who's watching you or taking pictures of you.

As a teacher in conservative small-town Idaho I can't deal with the drama that would follow if pictures of me in a bar surfaced on social media. I bet more people are learning to avoid bars altogether. If you can't misbehave in them, what are they good for? (Just kidding - kind of)

The teacher's had no expectation of privacy because they were in a public place. Their rights were not violated at all by having their conversation recorded and posted on line.

I think any of the educators or employees making fun of the students should be fired, full stop. The ones playing FMK and talking only about co-workers? I don't think that requires firing. To me, a big overreaction.

Unless you have never played FMK, you have no right to get offended at this.. and if you've never played FMK.. let me tell you this.. your spouse, parents, Siblings or BFFs have played the game.. how would you like it if they were fired?

Who knows though, maybe other issues with these educators outside of this incidence showing a pattern of bad judgement?

teachers are warned about student privacy concerns. You aren't allowed to publicly discuss students anywhere. This is a fireable offense, and teachers know it.

Let's try this a different way. If you were told that you weren't allowed to discuss your company's upcoming merger plans with anyone, but you decided to do so in a bar, while drinking, in a manner that you weren't even aware that you were being recorded, would you expect your job to be protected?

How about if your doctor was talking about your medical issues in a bar in public? It just can't be allowed.

Teachers KNOW that student information is privileged and private. You cannot discuss them, even with coworkers unless they have a legitimate school-related reason to have those discussions. Teachers may choose to violate this on their own, but they do so at their own peril.

I feel bad because a few people have shown that they think the bar gives you special privilege to act in a way that otherwise isn't accepted. This used to be true, but it isn't anymore, and people need to realize this and accept it.

I really think it would be a good idea for someone to build a franchise of bars where no personal electronic devices are allowed, so that at least one place could exist where people could feel relatively free from surveillance and recording while they socialize.

AnnapolisMike : 2/16/2017 1:26 pm : link
about students in less than flattering terms outside of the school environment? What got these teachers in trouble is that they did in a public setting and someone decided they did not like it.

I don't think the game is that big of a deal. However, talking about students in a public settings is a breach of the children's privacy.

Right. I get it - teachers get tired of their students and need to vent. The thing is, they get warned about this and they should know better.

Teachers want to be thought of as professionals, but so many of the ones I've met don't act professionally. This group didn't get it.

I'm not trying to be holier than thou. One time I was traveling on business with a coworker. We got stuck in the Cleveland airport due to a weather delay for 12 hours. Not long enough to bother going someplace else, especially in the bad weather, so we just sat and waited it out. They have a Victoria's Secret in the airport there, and we were seated across from it. We were probably over 20 hours into our day and getting very punchy. We started making fun of the people coming in and out - commenting on their body types and the lingerie they might be buying. Stupid, silly, immature humor born out of poor judgment. Thing is, we forgot, but we were still wearing our work ID's. After a while, some other traveler speaks up to us - do all the workers at your bank talk like you two?

YIKES!

Thank goodness this happened before everything public was recorded and posted online, or I can guarantee you my career would have been cut short. It was a good lesson to me. As a teacher, I'm always "on-stage" and my behavior must always be guarded.

I've also found that venting doesn't really improve situations in the long-term.

but I think 'snitching' has a place in society. there's a very gray area between needlessly 'tattling' and doing society a service by informing authorities of observed wrong doing. Some people think there is no gray line. you never, ever, report anything. One person on BBI (around the time of the Unibomber was turned in by his brother) who commented that if his buddy, or brother, showed up in the middle of the night with a bloody axe, he'd help dispose of it, no questions asked. And there's lots of incidents where neighborhoods refuse to cooperate with cops, because that's snitching. That's completely fucked up. If fkap is being a total dickwad, you should report him to Eric. It's not snitching. It's doing the board a service. Where the line is drawn is vague, but the overall notion that only bitches are snitches is completely whacked.

Was talking to a friend with a 5 year old who was accosted by another 5 year old who 'jokingly' threatened to put a finger up his butt hole. There isn't a doubt in my mind that this is a red flag that should be reported. Some people would call that snitching.

a lot of BBI has a very playground notion about 'snitching'.

Try reading the article before posting. It was made clear they never talked about sex with students or any other minors



Try eating shit pal.

I saw the video a couple days ago and it showed them saying that they'd "F so-and-so" multiple times. Was that made up or something? Is that what happened?

In summary:

The SECRETARY was the only employee to mention any students. The teachers did not discuss the students.

I tend to agree but in this case the 'snitch' went to Youtube not the Board of Education. That makes me think they recorded it for enjoyment/self-righteous reasons. Also, he/she could have told the table they were being over heard and should watch what they say. Also remember that nothing said was a crime, inappropriate yes, but not illegal.

There were two punishments in this case. One was the dismissal and reprimands. The second was the notoriety gained from the video. The first was warranted and followed due process. The second was done by a single person simply because they could. The second may be more harsh than the first as millions know of it and it will not go away. It will always be there on Youtube.

"Snitching" on serious wrongdoing, especially where someone has been harmed or might be harmed, is wholly appropriate. And there are other contexts where it is appropriate too. But the incessant "gotcha" of viral videos, of stupid tweets or FB posts turning into pile-ons, of "doxing" or whatever the hell they call it when someone's online musings or political opinions or what have you are used to shame them publicly offline, I don't see much utility in this.

Two teachers, and the secretary that mentioned students, were fired.

Unless you think they willingly "resigned".
In the video  
B in ALB : 2/16/2017 2:28 pm : link
one of the male teachers says something like this:

"(child's name) is cool. I would totally marry her. Plus she loves the Tigers. And she didn't even bring it up when I was wasted on the bus trip. She's cool." (nice, a teacher wasted on a bus trip)

Another teacher says, "I would totally fuck (child's name)."

Another says, "I would kill (child's name)."

Now throughout the video "(child's name)" is substituted in the captions for the a real name, presumably to protect the kid's real name - but who knows?

The person who recorded the video would have had to lie about who was being mentioned in the video in order for us to believe that they were talking about co-workers. Why would they do that? Makes no sense.
And in regards to reprimands....  
Britt in VA : 2/16/2017 2:31 pm : link
for the secretary that mentioned the student. Hard to say without knowing what was discussed.

Did she say "so and so is dumb, or fat, or whatever...." Poor choice? Yes.

Or did she say "so and so is so dumb, have you seen their IEP? That dipshit has so many learning disabilities it's not even funny, and the meds they're shoving down his throat didn't help either." Fire-able offense, and probably more in line with what you mentioned in your previous posts. But even then, only the person making those comments should have been reprimanded.

Three people were fired.... so far.

I just don't understand that mentality - sitting there and recording, then altering the video to the point where it changes the entire context of the conversation.

I assume the authorities saw the unaltered version of the video? Where is the statement on that?
Also the article states that a woman's 15 year old son

Whoever subbed in (child's name) be on the hook for misleading authorities?

Where is that mentioned?

And is it mentioned anywhere that the attorney has in fact seen the unedited video? Or is that just a guess at this point?

would you feel comfortable talking about kids this way?

I'm anti-pussification of america too - but this is substandard behavior from educators/adults, imo.



Holy shit. I can't read this thread any more.

They weren't fucking talking about children, for fuck's sake!!! They were talking about co-workers!!!

One person - a secretary, mentioned a 15-year-old student. That's all. Not the teachers.

Jesus Christ. READ, people. READ!

but that's today's world. You can be filmed anywhere.....so you really have to be on alert.

But someone said, if you want to do this, do it in your own home.

What if you were filmed there by an onlooker......

The privacy thing is an interesting question.
