"Fired for Flow: Teacher Claims Dismissal Over Rap Career"

A Michigan teacher, Domonique Brown, claims she was fired from her high school teaching position because she also pursued a career as a rapper under the name Drippin Honey. Brown, who had been teaching history at Taylor Preparatory High School since August, said she was given an ultimatum to erase all her rap content, which she refused to do. The school allegedly cited concerns about her rap career being a bad influence on students, despite her positive impact on the community and students.

"Teacher Fired for Rap Career: Unfair Dismissal or Justified Action?"

Domonique Brown, a U.S. history teacher at Taylor Preparatory High School in Detroit, claims she was fired due to her rap career under the name "Drippin Honey," despite her belief that it did not interfere with her teaching responsibilities. Brown, who was named teacher of the month in December, alleges that a parent's complaint about her music career led to months of meetings with the school, ultimately resulting in her termination. She plans to take legal action against the school, asserting that she was discriminated against and that the school was not transparent about the reasons for her dismissal.

"Examining the Lowest-Paying College Majors Post-Graduation"

A recent analysis by the New York Federal Reserve reveals that liberal arts, performing arts, and theology majors earn the lowest salaries five years after graduating from college, with a median annual income of $38,000. Other low-paying majors include leisure and hospitality, history, fine arts, and psychology. In contrast, the highest-paid majors are in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, with computer engineers earning the highest median income of $80,000 right after college and $133,000 by ages 35 to 45. Education majors, particularly early childhood education, earn the least mid-career, highlighting the disparity in earnings across different fields.
