SURPRISE, Ariz. - "Have you drugged your kid today?"

That's the bumper sticker found on English teacher Tarah Ausburn's Prius that got her fired.

The high school teacher from Surprise, Arizona said she refused to peel off the sticker even after parents complained and administrators gave her an ultimatum.

Ausburn refused a deal to keep the sticker, but park off campus for the rest of the school year. That's when she lost her job.

She has a total of 61 bumper stickers on her car.

As for the one that got her fired, she told KPHO , "It's kind of a criticism of us tending to over-medicate hyperactive kids who might not need those medications."

Officials at Imagine Prep High School didn’t comment on the story.
