Teacher Forced to Remove Charlie Kirk Poster

[Concerned American]

That pretty much covers it. Can you point out anything he said or did that didn't support hard core maga principles?

So your problem isn't with the content of what he posted, just that MAGA also supported those same principles, eh? LMAO SMFH. Ludicrous.

Having a political poster of any kind in a school setting is automatically in bad taste and a bad idea

And, yes, I realize there’s nothing inherently political in the specific quote on the poster, but we all know Kirk was a deeply political person and a far-right icon.

Putting up a poster of a far-left figure, regardless of the quote, would be equally inappropriate.

A thought is a thought no matter who thought it up and quoted it. A truth is a truth no matter who says it. An interesting or possibly useful concept is just that no matter who was the original author or source.

So MLK was a deeply political person. So Ronald Reagan was a deeply political person. Charlie Kirk offered commentary on a great many different topics and themes, some political, some not. MLK and Reagan were pretty much all sociopolitical in their public lives..

But MLK and Reagan non political quotes on posters in that classroom were just fine and the teacher was not required to take them down. Only the Charlie Kirk quote was objectionable. And why? Because he is the assigned boogie man to trash and misrepresent by the left right now. Nobody much cares what MLK or Reagan had to say these days.

As I posted earlier I have no problem with a Karl Marx quote that is promoting a concept, a truth and he had many along with his more squirrely and dangerous sociopolitical views.

Education is much much more than just feeding the students facts they are supposed to remember for the test. The teacher who encourages the students to consider all sides of the issue, to think critically about the probable and possible consequences and effect of cultural trends, political policy, and everything else that affects our lives toward a goal of arriving at the best possible truth or conclusion, is giving his/her students a great blessing.

Posters that encourage students to think is just one of many ways to do that.

I said he was nothing more than a hard core trump cult podcaster. Show me where I'm wrong.

Quit lying. Now deny that you disparaged him because he supported principles that were also supported by MAGA. Here is YOUR post.

So MLK was a deeply political person. So Ronald Reagan was a deeply political person.

Comparing Kirk to either MLK or Reagan is pretty ridiculous.

Apples and oranges.

Name one thing he said or did publicly that wasn't trump cult related.

How about the poster that was taken down. I'll wait while you twist yourself into a pretzel to make that about Trump.

Show how the quote mentioned in the OP IS so-called 'Trump cult related'. I would be fascinated to hear your argument for why that quote would be objectionable pretty much said by anybody.

Yep, that's pretty much what I said. No cult member has been able to point out anything he said or did that didn't support hard core maga principles.

Including the poster that was pulled down eh? Do you disagree with the CK quote? This ought to be REAL good.

As the commentary from the teacher says, he has lots of inspirational posters from many different sources in his classroom. And the Fox commentary is spot on. The Charlie Kirk poster and quote was in no way political, partisan, or controversial.

It's too bad when a totally deranged and intellectually inconsistent/dishonest left continues to try to squelch anything good and wholesome in this country and push everything that isn't good and wholesome. Unfortunately that is what continues to dominate far too much of U.S. education and it will take quite a bit of time to eradicate it as a driving force in our culture.

Teachers got fired for criticizing Kirk. Maybe a poster of him at this point in time was bad judgement on the part of the deranged and intellectually dishonest right who are having a meltdown.

Is that something that Kirk did? I thought he was dead before that happened

So its true that you don't really have a problem with the content of the quote---your problem is that Charlie Kirk said it, eh? Does this sum up your feelings? "I don't care whether or not your point is valid and commendable--I DON'T LIKE YOU SO TAKE IT DOWN." Does that sum it up?

You need to work on your reading reading comprehension skills.

Are you trying to portray a hard core cult podcaster to some of the greatest figures in American history? I gave you more credit than that.

 

[Concerned American]

Maybe you need to put more thought into the disingenuous garbage you post. There was NOTHING political about the content of that quote. I suppose you would have cheered it if it had Che Guevara's name and image on it.

Free Speech is becoming more and more of a myth in the US.
