"Have you drugged your kid today?"

Recently, a teacher was just fired from her job because she would not remove a bumper sticker from her car that read, "Have you drugged your kid today?" The sticker is a criticism toward parents and doctors who medicate hyperactive children. The teacher never made a comment about her opinion in class and personally I do not believe she should have been fired. She feels as though it is a violation of her first amendment rights and I agree that as long as she respected her work place, she should have been able to keep her job. Now do I agree with the content of her sticker? Yes and no. Yes because my younger brother is medicated for being hyperactive child and I personally believe that when he is on the medicine he is a different person. The best way to handle hyperactivity is to give children individual activities and tasks that can challenge them because many times "hyperactive" children are just bored and disinterested in what surrounds them. However, this may be difficult and inconvenient for teachers who can not always control hyperactive kids. So medicating for parents can also act as a stress reliever because they don't have to worry about their child acting up throughout the day. If it was my choice I probably would not medicate my child but hope that he would grow out of his hyperactivity.
