    In case you're not one of the 16 MILLION people who heard, Miss R got fired. And wow - that situation was a whole mess. Perhaps you're familiar with this beloved teacher after the "hypes" she does with her students went viral. (You know, the ones where they throw their stressors, depressors, and anxiety out the door/window.) Or maybe you're here because you heard we're bashing Pearson and you love the energy we've created in the studio.

    Trigger warning: This episode contains content that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discussions contain references to homophobia and hate speech. This week on Teacher Quit Talk, Frazz and Redacted hear a tale of how the Queer Librarian (formerly Classroom Yogi) endured and overcame a cancellation attempt from a far right troll with an unfortunately large platform. After her community rallies around her, she declares she will not be silenced. A beacon of light in the dark, she reminds us to stand up for others in the face of injustice and hate.
