In an unbelievable turn of events, educating children is now a fireable offense for a school district employee.

Katie Nash became the new social media manager for a Maryland school district in November and is already looking for a new job after she corrected a student’s awful spelling.

Nash is responsible for running the district’s Twitter page that received the following tweet from one of its students on January 5:

[email protected] close school tammarow PLEASE”

The quick thinking Nash responded from the account, [email protected] but then how would you learn how to spell “tomorrow”? :)”

A week later, the employee’s boss, Michael Doerrer, handed Nash a letter of termination during a meeting that lasted only four minutes, according to The New York Daily News.

“It happened really quickly,” Nash said. “They handed me a letter and then asked for my badge and ID.”

The student who wrote the poorly spelled tweet wasn’t offended, didn’t complain, and is said to have taken Nash’s reply “in stride,” but Doerrer didn’t see it as a teachable moment.

Students have since hashtagged and petitioned support for Nash to try and get her $44,066 a year job back or at least get her employed at a place that appreciates her. 

Showing all sorts of class, Nash has used her personal Twitter account not to bash those who fired her but encourage those she is no longer in charge over:

 “Wish success for FCPS, students deserve the best. Don’t regret a tweet. #katiefrom FCPS says do ur homewurk - no one takes away ur education”

She told NY Daily News, “FCPS is more than just a couple of people and we do have amazing teachers and support staff who are doing amazing things. What a couple of individuals did is not really the entire system.”

In her defense, Nash said she wasn’t fully instructed on how the district wanted her to handle the multiple types of messages she would receive and thought feedback from her boss would have been more appropriate than termination. But again, she hopes the students who supported her learn a more valuable lesson:

“It’s important to me that they see it is how you react to a situation that really defines who you are. I am really trying to get to each one of them and say maybe it’s not fair, but life will go on, and I have a lot of opportunity ahead of me because I got a great education.”
