I guarantee he’s going to be better off somewhere else.
In my industrial career I ran across a couple of managers who had started life as teachers and then thought, “What the heck am I doing here?” They were all bringing down significant salaries.
We can’t have students thinking critically. Of course he was fired.
He also revealed the school took his computer, which contained several projects and books he had been working on for years.

That hurts, but why would you use school resources for your own personal work. He had years to think that through critically, or to at least make backups of his work. Perhaps I’m being a little harsh but common now, get yourself a laptop.
Redpill78 and X22 both had recent episodes on this.
Both were very interesting
Why isn’t the school named?
If you watch the videos he is the type of teacher you would want for your kids. Before he made the kid question his views he clearly stated, I won’t tell you my views on the subject just ask about yours.
I believe this was Canada.
ARTH.
I just discovered his YouTube channel. The Secret Scholar Society. Some interesting conversations.
This teacher went viral after calmly and brilliantly questioning a student who called JK Rowling a “bigot." Now he's been fired.
In reality, it is Now that this teacher has been fired, he posts a video apparently about why:
7 days ago I was fired from my school after 4 years of teaching. I recorded this the following day in order to share my perspective
Not the Bee states,
According to Smith, he wasn't given a clear reason that he was fired, although he seems to believe it was because of the public interviews he did after his video went viral.
Thus they somehow think he was fired because of the public interviews he did after his video went viral, yet the video came after his firing.
Most likely the teach was fired for not parroting the party line and instead objectively examining the premise of the charge.
Couldn’t find where this occurred, but listening to the teacher it could well be in the U.S. Depending on the state, you don’t get tenure until you’ve worked for a school for so many years. In some, it is as much as five years. Until you get tenure, the district doesn’t have to give a reason for not offering a contract for the next year.
Don’t know who recorded the video that ‘went viral’, but that alone might get a teacher in trouble, either for recording it or for willingly participating in the recording.
All that said, I could find nothing wrong with how he conducted the ‘Socratic’ lesson.
Is that Parker’s (from gold rush) brother?
