But on Friday, the district <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11202311\/Texas-teacher-Amber-Parker-fired-told-students-call-pedophiles-minor-attracted-persons.html\">voted unanimously<\/a> to fire her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a thorough investigation was conducted, on September 6, 2022, during a Special Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a decision to notify a Franklin High School teacher of proposed termination,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.episd.org\/site\/default.aspx?PageType=3&amp;DomainID=67&amp;ModuleInstanceID=101&amp;ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&amp;RenderLoc=0&amp;FlexDataID=47348&amp;PageID=127\">Chief Communications Officer<\/a> Liza Rodriguez stated, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/texas-teacher-administrative-leave-telling-students-call-pedophiles-mi-rcna47064\">NBC News<\/a>. \u00a0\u201cAny allegation of potential misconduct is investigated thoroughly, and the safety of our students is a top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A clip from a TikTok video showed Parker telling her students, \u201cStop calling them that. \u2018You\u2019re not allowed to label people like that. Stop it, Diego. We\u2019re not gonna call them that.\u00a0 \u2026 We\u2019re gonna call them MAPs, minor-attracted persons. So don\u2019t judge people just because they wanna have sex with a five-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parker\u2019s remarks were allegedly made prior to the class reading Arthur Miller\u2019s play, \u201cThe Crucible,\u201d which revolves around the infamous Salem witch trials.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, school board trustee Daniel Call felt that Parker\u2019s remarks were taken out of context and posted his reaction on Facebook, KFOXTV <a href=\"https:\/\/kfoxtv.com\/news\/local\/franklin-high-school-amber-parker-board-of-trustee-explains-unanimous-decision-to-terminate-franklin-hs-teacher-jonathan-mejia-reports\">reported.<\/a> \u00a0That prompted Parker\u2019s husband Jason to thank Call, stating:<\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Daniel Call I happen the be the husband of the teacher in question. I can tell you that we were shaken to the core about these accusations. It is both scary and disturbing that that an edited 18 second clip could destroy a 30 year career when taken completely out of context. She is exemplary as a teacher and truly cares about the students. Needless to say we have spent many sleepless nights because of this cruel release to social media of the 18 seconds. We pray that you and the rest of the board will see this for what it is and not allow and edited video destroy an innocent woman, her career and her family in the process. I want to thank you personally for the updated post to begin to right this wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But one week later Call changed his position. \u201cAny reasonable person that heard what the seven trustees heard would\u2019ve voted to terminate Amber Parker. \u2026 There were more things that the public may not know about that was included on the closed findings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially I was shocked and horrified when I saw the video. Then when I heard that she was trying to be sarcastic, I felt bad for her,\u201d he told NBC News. \u201cHowever, when the district\u2019s investigation into this situation helped me understand the full story, I have no doubt that terminating this teacher is the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Call, noting that administrators have to approve lesson plans, explained why parker was still responsible:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe should not have strayed as far as she did. Hypothetically, I could have the best lesson plan in the world. But if I don\u2019t follow the lesson plan and I deviate into some areas I shouldn\u2019t be teaching about, or talking about? The lesson plan is kind of pointless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Al Velarde, president of the board, said the next step for Parker could be an appeals process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Texas high school teacher was fired Friday after she instructed students to not judge people for wanting to have sex with five-year-olds.
