Unacademy Teacher Fired for telling students to 'Vote for Educated Leaders' Remark during lecture.

If "Vote for Educated Leaders" is truly a controversial statement, then we're all fucked.

Your leaders absolutely should be educated, not even necessarily in politics, but Bob next door who's only got two neurons in his head fighting for third place shouldn't be leading any country

I mean if he chose to communicate his preference, that's a problem. But "Vote for educated leaders" shouldn't be exactly controversial. If you're angry, is it because you know the ppl that you voted for are uneducated?

It’s so incredibly sad how adults need to be reminded and told to vote for people that have a background with real education. I can’t believe people don’t care about education when it comes to voting for someone to be put in your government. I feel sorry for those people who don’t. You know it’s the people who don’t that have lives that revolve around politics and consume it everyday

Very telling (and not without reason) that just reading the headline creates an automatic assumption that this occurred in a US "red" state.

Quirk of a polarized political system thanks to FPTP-voting. Sooner or later even the lamest, most basic stuff suddenly turns political and "controversial" while billionaires laugh all the way to the bank. It's by design and what happens when groups of individuals are allowed to hoard obscene wealth and use it to rule the masses.

BJP wants to turn india into hindu theocracy.

Now I know to avoid Unacademy.

Shame on him what if I want stupid dumb idiot leaders?

It feels like we've been devolving as a species for the last 20 years or so, I'm pretty tired of living in interesting times.

Stop voting for fascists just because they blame all your problems on marginalized people, already.

I'd love to see those who disagree with his statement answer the question "when is a good time to not vote for educated leaders?" that applies more than 0.01% of the time.

Even religious people shouldn't disagree with it. If you want someone with religious background in then you want them to be educated in matters to do with that religion. That they themselves don't consider that education is telling.

That's a real shame but it says a lot about the motivations of politicians and the fear they have of education. If I ran my own school, I'd be reaching out to him to hire him.

It’s really telling when politicians feel attacked by such a statement.

Teacher fired for promoting education. Got it.

He's clearly pushing the anti republican agenda... SMH

Yea, I agree with his statement but it was implied who he was talking about and when you add his social media posts showing a bias to a specific political party it was a no brainer and why would ask your students in a class to not vote for a particular political party.

While I agree that leaders should be educated. It's not a teachers place to tell any student what or who to vote for.

Summarize what's wrong with the US in one sentence:
