Brickbat: Don't Teach Your Children Well
Officials at England's Henley College, a public school equivalent to junior and senior years in U.S. high schools, reported a politics teacher to authoriites after he showed videos of U.S. President Donald Trump to his 17- and 18-year-old students during a lesson on the 2024 election. Officials said the videos could have caused "emotional harm" and might be seen as a "hate crime." The school refused to discuss the matter, but the teacher, who asked not to be identified, claimed he was essentially forced from his job as a result of the complaint.

THE LIMEYS CAN'T ABIDE THE IMAGE OF REAL LEADERSHIP.
Trump said, "Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will NEVER be a socialist country."
Yeah. You can't be throwing wrenches like that into Commie-Indoctrination camps for kids. It causes a lot of "emotional harm" to [Na]tional So[zi]alist[s].
Britain has fallen to left authoritarianism and Islam. We have nothing in common with them on which to base an allyship. It's time to downgrade diplomatic relations with them and end military cooperation. Let's get out of NATO. The future of US relations with Europe is in Eastern Europe.
"...a public school equivalent to junior and senior years in U.S. high schools,..."
Which means, in Britspeak, it is a privately run school.
