Tiffani Eaton, a 30 year old teacher at a Detroit high school, got fired on May 1st for using a broom to break up a fight between two ninth graders. She had the option of returning to the original school, or going to a different school of her choosing.
"I believe the Pershing High teacher was illegally fired," Principal Gregory King said about the firing. She was trying to prevent injury to herself, she obviously meant no harm. It takes a lot of courage and bravery to do what Tiffani Eaton did. Teachers are faced with spontaneous situations every single day, and what Ms. Eaton did was the right thing.
"Ms. Eaton should have never been fired. Period." King continued.
