Hunter Rogers - the kid in that viral video showing his teacher berating him for having the wrong political opinion - comments about his teacher:
“I didn’t think that it was going to be like this, but honestly I’m excited,” he said. “I want people to see this, let this be an example.”…
“I videoed this because there are millions of kids going home every day telling their parents there is a teacher doing this, and a lot of parents think because teachers are role models they can’t be doing anything that bad,” Rogers said…
Hunter Rogers said he felt like Dixon-Neely was “lying to my face” when she said that people have been arrested for speaking ill of the president.
“Either she was lying to me or she didn’t know any better,” he said. “But I know way better, I know that nobody can take away your freedom of speech unless you threaten the president.”
The kid's attitude is refreshing, and the mother's attitude is understandable.

What sort of disciplinary action is a suspension "with pay?" and why was the fact mentioned at all?
Since teachers have tenure and/or civil service rights, they can't be denied pay without a due process hearing. Suspension with pay might indicate that the school district is preparing the papers to fire her. On the other hand, I know of government employees who are suspended with pay for years and then brought back to work.
