Yes, that is silly. But it's nothing to do with America. A similar thing could also happen in the UK quite easily.

I get the distinct feeling we're not getting even half of what actually is going on in that story.
maybe the school was looking for a reason to get rid of that teacher for some reason. not that that makes it less ridiculous, but surely there's more to this than what is told.

for thoze of you who dont know, frisco TX is an extremey small town inside of dallas (where i live). it's basically a suburb. the frisco indepenedent school district is just a handful of people. its only somewhere in the area of 30 schools total - and its brand new, too. that place has only been inhabited as widely as it is now for less than 10 years..
anyways, that school administrations decision making process probably only takes a few minutes and is up to just a few people - compared to Dallas ISD where the decision wouldve had to go through thousands of people and taken weeks probably... it worked aggainst the art teacher that only a few people are actually in charge there

even tho it being inbred christian neocon texas it happened in an independent school district,which are usually populated by minorities, mostly hispanic. and not very religiously oriented.. thats why i find it so weird, i blame it on the size and age of the ISD

It's not "America". It's a small school district that happens to be in America.
And you don't think constructive dismissal occurs outside of the States?

So a woman got sacked and will most likely appeal the decision through the courts.
Shit, all those Kurds gassed by Saddam's baathist regime, all the people who survived through the Rwandan genoside, the kids being hunted down by police hit squads in Brazil and so on etc.etc. must be well fucking grateful they don't live in a society that constructively dismisses a teacher by paying out the remainder of her contract.

I've never heard of any mainstream media citing Rwanda, Iraq, or Brazil as the land of the free, or the most advanced democracy on earth, or even - *cringe* - the most liberal country in the world

The fact this incident took place does not imply that America isn't free. This is a decision made by a small group of individuals in a small place in a big country. There are actions available to the woman.
I mean it could be argued that the school board have elected via democratic decision to exercise their free will in not renewing this teachers contact.

Although I agree that America is far from the most advanced democracy and far from being the land of the free this case demonstrates absolutely nothing other than your joy in America bashing :)

absolutely, and cygnus's comments have shed light on the matter.
i just think you'd be very, very hard-pushed to find people in Europe coming to the conclusion that some sort of action needed to be taken after an art teacher took children to such an exhibition. I can't imagine any parents having any problems with it.
And I really don't think that's a generalisation.

I don't see how saying "it depends on how arrogant and ignorant americans have managed to be on that particular day" is any better than saying something like "it depends on how arrogant and ignorant Jews/blacks/asians have managed to be on that particular day."
