CMV: As a part of background checks, teachers at public institutions who soap box publicly and identifiably should be fined or fired.

Everyone should be allowed to have the ability to stand up for their rights and what they personally endorse, however teachers are a highly influential part of the way children develop and if a child or more likely a Teen is influenced by the soap boxing of their instructor/teacher professor it is to the detriment of that individual forming their own opinions at least publicly at the risk of scrutiny from their instructor.

I mentioned soap boxing and being publicly identifiable as the criteria because these types of people are more likely to let their political passions drive other aspects of their life. Furthermore, I don't just mean this in the capacity of public forum such as public space, but social media accessible to the curious  students of teachers. As it is, a lot of instructors do hide their personal musings and associated content that's on social media but for those that don't they should be   fined or fired, or punished in some capacity at least, that is meaningful enough to deter them from doing further damage to their young charges. 

Lastly and to clarify, I don't think if a teacher has a stalker it should be the end of them. If they are hiding behind a distinct unique screen name like everyone else that is worth due consideration because as I have stated, they should be able to practice and endorse their political beliefs, just not at the expense of the kids.

CMV if you can.

As long as the teacher is not attempting to brain wash or influence the children with negative or inaccurate views there should be no reason to fine or fire them. Teachers teach different ideologies, so why not give their own point of view? Sometimes it's helpful to here a professionals personal testament. Whether the student lets this opinion manipulate his/her mind is not the fault of the teacher at this point. 

Also, teachers have social lives outside of school. They do not sign away their right to free speech when becoming a teacher. To expect an individual to sacrifice his/her integrity or voice on social media regarding important issues JUST because he/she is a teacher is asinine.
