What makes you think for one short second the neo-Stalinist chairing the Pasadena Unified School District school board will 'squirm' in the least?
They will fire the teacher publicly and with great theatrical indignation as a warning to anyone else so inclined to similar 'thought crime'.
Then they will fire anyone else who even looks at them funny as a result of the first termination.
Any show of public support for Phelps will be dismissed as 'hate speech'. Any public review of Phelps' dismissal will be labeled 'racist'.
