On TDA T-Shirt Controversy

TDA T-Shirt

Just a matter of concern on the sale of TAGA-DEPED AKO t-shirt for I am one of the concerned members of TDA group in the Facebook, I posted a query and a request for the status of those who have already availed of and then suggested if it could be posted for others to know as a matter of transparency (with no malice at all.) Unfavorable comments, reactions kept on pouring which I had never expected at all of such negative situation.

What really should come to mind is just an explanation, a clarification or whatever in an ethical way. I had no knowledge before hand that there was already one concerned member who had raised this similar query I had had.

What bothered me more was my position as a school principal had been mentioned. belittled. They questioned my authority, my intrusion of such business which called for the personal decision of every teacher to buy the t-shirt or not. It was no longer my business so to speak according to the commentors.

Should a teacher react that way?
