TX to ban over 100 teachers for celebrating charlie kirk murder and calling for more violence.

[toobfreak]

I've said it for years, public education is a mess.

Damn. I could tell you stories. Let's just say that the government public school system so utterly failed me that I was traumatized by it, skipped part of 5th grade, skipped about half of 8th grade, was jumped to 12th grade in 9th grade, then left the public school after 12 days and finished grade school by going to a private high school for two more years which luckily got me out of the public madhouse.

But I realized years later that despite my father paying his school taxes and the school thus having a legal obligation to educate me and failing to do so, it was left to my father to pay for my extracurricular education out of his own damned pocket--- a LOT of money.

But that's not the subject.

Why? Lack of teachers?

Lack of enrollment. It’s happening in San Francisco. Private schools couldn’t construct new facilities fast enough to meet demand. Why? DEI. Whites and Asians who can afford to send to children to private school don’t care. The losers are blacks and Hispanics. Although it’s completely different than this shooting, it shows you that if officials make the wrong decision, certain demographics will pay the price.

Sorry you were failed. I was lucky, rural area school system that taught not indoctrinated. I have good memories

I support free speech and think even death threats should be legal, but it's different with kids. These teachers must be canned.

I agree.

Death threats in many cases are called terroristic threats. Varies by state.

In the long run, it greatly facilitated me, I'd have it no other way.

1. I remember being in an old square school house made of wood in the 1-2 grades. The windows were wood and if we wanted air, you just pushed the window open, no screen, and outside, there was a bubbling creek not far away with lots of trees, shrubs, and chirping birds.
2. Once in 2nd grade, I freaked out my teacher. I stayed inside one day during lunch break when all the kids were out playing. When the teacher tried to encourage me to go out and play, I told her no because it was going to rain. Then some kids started coming in and told her it was raining outside. You should have seen the look she gave me.
3. In 7th grade, I got to skip science class, which that year was based on teaching astronomy, I knew more than the teacher, so the teacher let me hang out in the nextdoor laboratory (now unused, it had formerly been a highschool), there was even a pretty big telescope in it. Then I just came in during test taking. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember my teacher using my answers to grade the other students.
4. I pretty much skipped 8th grade (to avoid problems with the law, I was forced to show up about half the time) but still graduated with an A- average. That was my end of the public school.
5. No wait--- I went to 9th grade--- it was a pretty new high school but I only went there 12 days. After that I left and spent 2 years at a private high school.
6. The private school was the time of my life--- I had great teachers who were real people not under the brutal knuckle of the public school system, made great friends, there were fantastic opportunities at the school (I ran the school paper and also taught astronomy for extra credit, among a few things, and we did some crazy, insane stuff. And it lead to a state scholarship for higher education.

But the experience also taught me a lot more than anything in the textbooks. I wouldn't trade it for anything. And the experience of seeing how the government punished my good father over their inability to do their job just because I didn't fit their preconceived mold of 2-way thinking made me the person I am today.

Our children attend private school. I'm very pleased.

To note the school has handled Kirk's assassination excellent. All anyone said was if anyone needs to talk about it we're here

World of difference. But also diversity. Every school is different. I actually went to another private high school first before the one I finally went to, and remember touring a few others, meeting people, etc., but the one I really, finally went to for the two years was special. I doubt there ever was another school quite like it. One wild crazy time.

That's all anyone should have to say.

Given the students and families I suspect the students talked to their parents

 

[MarathonMike]

Leftists have no qualms ending the career of those speaking out against St. Floyd. Leftists only believe in free speech when the narrative fits.

Exactly. None of these America haters said a word when people were being cancelled and fired for saying ALL LIVES MATTER.

 

[MarathonMike]

So take a stance, and BLAME both sides.
The words spoken by trump......to the media.....to his political opponents......to 50% of the Nation

This ^^^^^ is undeniable, and WRONG.
Call him OUT.

This country has a cancer that is called Assassin Culture. That is purely and wholly the result of the Leftist Democrats and powerful foreigners who want to destroy America.

 

[toobfreak]

Exactly. None of these America haters said a word when people were being cancelled and fired for saying ALL LIVES MATTER.

Never mind just a few years ago when many were fired and lost their jobs or were outted from the military because they couldn't or didn't want to get the covid vaccine. Hell, they had no problem banning a POTUS from social media and didn't blink an eye.

 

[JustAGuy1]

Who?

Good, they deserve it.

 

[candycorn]

Well, it depends on what they specifically said. But it's astounding that so many otherwise bright people are so idiotic when it comes to the consequences of voicing such vile opinions in public. How'd these people become teachers in the first place (again---what they actually said being the deciding factor)?

I'd fire them for poor judgment over and beyond what they said.

Well, to be honest, what JONES said was a complete LIE.
Telling a grieving parent that their dead child by gun violence is JUST an act.
**** AJ.

They had no right to sue him over that, even if he was wrong. He has a right to his opinion. That verdict enabled the thought police in this country.

 

[candycorn]

Considering the fact that the murder took place on the property of a school, you would think that any teacher who wasn't a fan of him would at least have some restraint where their feelings are concerned.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This!

And floyd was a career criminal and a drug dealer and a porn actor. Totally worthless person.

You don't know it was a lie. There is a crisis actor industry and jones had the right to raise that possibility. BTW - he was denied a jury trial by the corrupt judge.

 

[StatesRightsForever]

good point. How can anyone object to saying that?? And yet the left did.
