27-year veteran English teacher Connie Heermann, who was suspended for 18-months without pay or benefits for using the Freedom Writers Diary in her classroom, was asked to give a speech at the Indianapolis Art Museum, Thursday August 21st. Her speech followed the showing of the Freedom Writers Diary hollywood movie, shown in entirety. WRTV channel 6 covered the event. With a small crowd in attendance, Heermann answered questions and defended her actions.
"Not too many high school teachers today are allowed to teach," said Heermann.
