When educators critique their school or institutions-& for #BCEd public #k12 can extend to comment on entire public system—even if the critique is merited—they open themselves up to legally supported discipline & possible termination. Higher exposure statements incl more risk.
This legal situation extends to #postsecondary. Members of the public who call out educators for ‘not saying or doing more’ to protect students & schools vs #COVID19 need to be mindful of this risk to their employment —which some could weather far better than others.
And for those educators in #k12 or #postsecondary who have the privilege of power or position or income to respectfully challenge a school/institution/system policy, procedure, IMO they really need to reflect on stepping up to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”

I'll preface this with an acknowledgement that I'm 1) a tenure-track prof w/ 2) considerable autonomy in an academic program 3) w/leadership that respects the work I do in the classroom. I realize this isn't typical, so what I'm sharing might not reflect your situation. FWIW: /3
