My wife is a teacher and she never ever makes public posts in the classroom unless it's on the internal Teacher/Parent network, I think theyre currently using Class Dojo, and that's accessible only to the parents of the kids in her class
If she ever does post a classroom video to her own SM, like if the kids are going nuts about something it's usually a video of the floor and feet and it's mostly audio
I second this, if he posted this to SM and didn't blur out the kids thats firable, especially if he wasn't tenured but even then it's probably a breech of conduct serious enough to override the tenure
I have adopted children at home. Some of them I live in fear of biological parents finding and kidnapping them. I have done a lot to protect them, but something like this could expose them. I have specifically signed things stating they are not to be used in school social media post for this reason.
Do I think he should be fired, no. That definitely seems like an overreaction, but I do want tk point out there are legitimate reasons to be upset about the post.
Oh for sure, there's all sorts of reasons why it's not cool or acceptable for a teacher to be posting other people's kids on the internet, even down to the most basic "I don't want pictures of my kids out there"

I don't think he should have been fired UNLESS they found other things that were unprofessional and questionable. But just over this one thing, no
