    Indeed. I think a punitive syntax should be levied.

What I find interesting is that she thought it would be okay to say something like this in a public forum, even though she’s a teacher. Reminds me of the story/link yesterday about the two Georgia cops making racist remarks. Intelligence and judgement are evidently not priorities when hiring our public servants.

  Didn’t a teacher get fired recently for making disparaging remarks about Michelle Obama?

    That’s different, the Obamas are Democrats.

  Vague enough that either side could’ve done it.

Welsh remains employed by the school, but has been administratively reassigned. The superintendent said the appropriate disciplinary action is being taken, but did not specify what that means.

She has to write “Don’t call students racists” one hundred times, pick up 50 papers in the playground, and clean the blackboard erasers for the next week.

I’m surprised how much impact an accusation of racism can still have, even though SJWs have cheapened the term by using it against just about anyone who doesn’t exactly share their retarded opinions.

By now, it should just have become kind of a background noise.

  They really should have a new word for *real* racists, as in “Theodore Bilbo was a real-racist, not just a racist in the SJW sense.”
  1. The Fusionist 9 years ago
    
    Bilbo was both a racist and a prog.
    
    “During his final tenure, educational reform measures were endorsed; economic policies that benefited white farmers was supported; and financial setbacks depleted the state treasury.” What an unfortunate coincidence that the state should be having these financial problems just as the governor’s wonderful reforms were being implemented!

      Those two terms go together like beer and pizza. Progs must divide every one into groups to do their dirty work. The more groups the more ‘victims ‘ .Of course,there has to be some hated groups to attack and steal wealth from.

  Eddie,
  
  You’re not getting 8 hours of sleep. Your last post last night was at 10:42pm and your first post is at 6:03am.
  
  Your mom is concerned.
  1. The Fusionist 9 years ago
    
    Hmmm…I had this dream where I was posting on H&R, and woke up and discovered that I was.
    
    And if you think *my* mom is concerned, you should see the expression on *your* mom’s face when I wake up early.

      You really should stop sleeping on her porch.

        Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

“There’s no reason for her to pass judgement on those kids on a social platform,” one parent told McLogan.

“There’s no reason for it; it’s just our policy.”
