When the fed-up young teacher decided to quit her job in rural North Carolina in June, her resignation letter was brief — three lines. But she had more to say.
So she spoke her mind online, in an anonymous, 1,000-word Internet posting to her principal that recounted in grim detail racist teachers, obligatory prayers at faculty meetings, "What would Jesus do?" lectures and a "terrible" vice principal who "tries to sleep with the coaches."

Regarding “Teachers speak out of turn”
Any teacher who crosses the line by speaking honestly about what goes on in the school system or in the best interest of students will discover the public school system’s priority is looking good rather than doing good. Many teachers face the challenge of wanting to speak out, but know there will be consequences. It is a sad, but true truth not taught in classes to get your teaching credential. Hence, there is a need for a Web site such as this one so fellow teachers can freely speak their minds.
Sincerely,
