i think firing them is an extreme measure if there's only one instance of an inappropriate show of bias. a teacher saying donald Annoying Orange is mean debatably isn't really that serious. if a teacher repeatedly expresses their political or other views inappropriately in a way that makes students feel pressured to believe one way or another, that is problematic. i don't think it's fair to say that any amount of non-objective discussion of these topics should be treated as an attempt at indoctrination

Yeah I think it's an incredibly loving simple concept to not force your dumb political opinion on a bunch of 6th graders. This wasn't a friendly discussion about politics among her co-workers, this was intentionally implemented into a piece of homework that was given out to a large number of impressionable children. It may not be the worst case scenario or 'that bad' or whatever but it sets a stuffty precedent for education. Sucks at their job, should be fired

Also when a teacher put something on homework, 99% of the time that means the teacher has talked about it multiple times in class.

read the homework again. It's a vocab quiz, which means the teacher 99% probably talked about the use of the word, not the question being asked

If it's a Vocab quiz, then the teacher talks about the word AND use of it in class. Which in turn is her forcing her political bias on the kids through lectures, (potential) class work, and homework.
