Michigan teacher fired for tweet.

[k-town_king]

Wow. Again, I was simply stating that in today's world people feel the need to record everything. But carry on...

But since you went down that path, if all of these protesters put the same amount of energy into something good vs. destruction it would be a win for ALL Americans! Yes, I said it....ALL Americans. It amazes me how somehow we've returned to acceptance of segregation. Amazing, don't you think?

Don't deflect. The guy should have been caught and fired, He should have nothing to do with kids. He is obviously a racist piece of crap.

You are glad he wasn't caught. You would rather a racist be comfortable than make sure someone who leads a school is actually someone who supports and believes in all the children equally.

Its freaking disgusting. A lot of conservatives are the same way. Too many may not be actively racist but they support them or stand by quietly while they discriminate.

It proves none of what you claim.

He made a stupid remark, other than that what has he done that you know of? Nothing, but that doesnt stop you from assuming he has.

Charles Barkley once said, "that's why I hate white people". Should he be banned from interacting with white people he has influence over?

IIRC, he said that on-air and not a word was said about it other than, "that's just Charles being Charles." Could you imagine if ...

There's a bit more to it. If it's a public school, they are a government entity - state agents - which is prohibited from infringing on 1A rights. He'll be compensated nicely in a successful lawsuit.

You are wrong as usual. The School Board said it fired him for reason(s) other than the comment. You can bet they have an airtight firing. Most people get fired for reasons other than the obvious.

Just say you support racists and be a man. No need to dance around this.

The guy made it known he was a fullblown racist. A racist has no business interacting with kids in a teaching or school administration role.

You can't be this dumb! I've explained 3 times what I was referring to. He could've made a sexist or homophobic comment and my post would've been EXACTLY the same!

Then you are just as wrong still.

He should have been exposed. No one in that position should think that let alone say it. If he had any of those views the best thing for the KIDS is to remove him.

Children should not be lead by racist, homophobic, or sexist teachers or principals.

Any person with morals would have wanted him exposed and fired.

The conservative trash mindset is to protect the racist, sexist, homophobe. Yall would rather let them be comfortable then do the right thing.

Conservative trash mindset, huh? Is Northam still the Gov. of VA? Why? I guess wearing blackface if you're a Dem gov. is OK even in a climate where an episode of the Golden GIrls was removed for fear of offending someone.

Not one person took up for that like you are with this.

I'm not taking up for it....never alluded to that at all. That's your story. This is so typical of the left. Make up false stories. Repeat them over and over until YOU believe your own BS.

So you are OK with Northam still being in office? Before you accuse anyone you need to look in the mirror!

DO you think the black teacher from Atlanta that commented on the post of the dude kneeling on the white toddler was a racist that should be fired?

It also depends on the county. I can’t speak for other states but we are specifically warned repeatedly to no make inflammatory posts on social media or it could jeopardize our employment

No, he should have been fired. That was also in college thirty years ago and not said or thought while holding his current position. Hardly an equivalent situation.

You said you are glad he wasn't taped. That is enabling behavior. Any person with morals would have wanted him caught and barred from the education field.

You are the constant victim that throws the race card in order to defend your lack of accomplishing anything in life.

Maybe you're young and there is time to change. Maybe not.

The 1st part of your post was rational...thank you. The 2nd part, not so much.

Let me ask you a question, how would you explain the "n" word to a blind person? You can't reference color, because this person doesn't know what black or white are. How would you coherently explain appropriate uses for the term? How would you explain consequences for certain people using the term but not others?

I'm interested in your answer.

 

[lawgator1]

Even if he tweeted that - how could any reasonable person justify firing someone over that?

That is not why he was fired.

Read the article.

Do you find bigotry by blacks against whites to be acceptable? Do you think it is somehow justified because of our country's past? Curious to your thoughts on the subject.

 

[MontyPython]

Pffft.

The headline simplifies what really happened.

The decision had already been made to NOT open schools as usual. Dude's tweets said Trump was boss and he was in charge. He's wrong, and he's fired.

The end. Good riddance.

Lesson to be learned: Never piss off your direct superiors by directly contradicting them.

Deflection, deflection, deflection


He is a racist. He should not have anything to do with kids.

He should have been exposed. If you don't agree you are condoning the behavior.

Anything else is irrelevant to the conversation.

Well, at least you're admitting that you're deflecting and running away from answering my question, which, btw, had nothing to do with the previous conversation.

I love statements like this. If you don't agree with me you are "condoning the behavior" You should have called him a racist and a neo-nazi too.

Thats you.

We were discussing your support of racism and a racist in power over black and brown kids.

Bold position. Though maybe not for the board.

There is a reason they charge you for murder if your friend shoots someone and you were with them and never report it. If you aren't trying to stop it or expose it after the fact you condone it.

If the guy said something like this and you support him not being exposed then you support his racism. Pretty simple, even for you.

Ha ha. You do what you deride others for, makes sense that you claim others are racists.

Barkley made a terrible comment. But his life's work makes him look to be a decent guy. So hey, no need to hate or punish him.

On the other hand, there is you, hearing a guy you dont know has made a rude remark and you wish his career to be terminated.

It is easy to see you have low self esteem and just an overall inability to carry rational views.

Nope. Not at all what I was discussing. Wasn't even part of that conversation. I asked a specific question which you have decided to dodge, which I guess indirectly answers the question. Take a look at the posts and you'll see my question was my first post in this thread of the day. So, would you care to answer, or am I left to assume you find bigotry against whites to be acceptable? Unlike you, I'll give you a chance to answer the question rather than just label someone a racist/bigot because they ask an uncomfortable question.

So now @USAFgolferVol is a racist?
