Shouldn't he be teaching them to read or add?

Shouldn't he be teaching them to read or add?

No. Much more important to denigrate the evil demon Donald Trump...

[Ultima]

What a shock. A teacher fired for showing liberal propaganda.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Without knowing what subject matter he regularly teaches and the purpose of showing the video to students, one cannot say what he should be teaching.

[GilesB]

What a yellow rag! “Thin-skinned parent” “humorless Middletown South HS brass” - and this from the Post...I expected better.

There is no excuse for the teacher’s behavior, nor the way the Post reported it.

[Original Lurker]

Ha! Public schools are stupid factories. Losers..!

[just me]

But no one was fired for singing praises to Obama.

[Tax-chick]

If the schools only had more money, they wouldn’t need to base their curriculum on Youtube videos.

“A New Jersey high school teacher was forced to resign this month for showing his class a popular John Oliver clip that urged viewers to “Make Donald Drumpf Again.”

Nothing new here. Everyone knows you cant make fun of liberals.
It could cost you your job and nasty little people will
verbally attack you. Play it safe, make fun of the
conservative. You get away with that because everyone knows
northeastern moderate trumps conservatisum./s

[Gefn]

I loved the Oliver video, and if this isn’t a napl I don’t know what is.

Please make it a napl, señor slings.

“It’s a travesty,” said district parent Kathi Van Zandt, the sister of musician and actor Steven Van Zandt. “It’s just ridiculous.”

Well, if Steven Van Zandt’s sister says so, I guess we should just let it slide.

I’d have no problem locking the guy up for life.

[ilgipper]

I’ don’t get why leftist idiots (and a few idiot conservatives) find calling him Drumpf is such an insult. This is the dumbest election cycle ever.

For one thing, Donald's grandfather Frederick Trump (1869-1918) who migrated to the U.S. in 1885 from Germany spelled his name "Trumpf" on his immigration documents and changed to the Anglicized spelling "Trump" shortly thereafter. So this fashionable racism against a white person should have been over for 130 years.

It's about 2/3rds of the way down the top page.

Was it Faulkner who said, "The past is never dead. It isn't even past." The left are anal-retentive past-worshippers, grievance holders, tribalists — always trying to redress past wrongs by holding entire ethnic groups responsible for the actions or their long-dead ancestors, over which today's descendents have no control. It's the antithesis of "progressive."

“To lose him, to allow ONE PARENT to make that decision because she was offended at a TV SHOW, is absolutely ludicrous and you know it,” Van Zandt told Board of Education members in a letter.

Let's see:

If ONE Marine pastes a Bible quotation "No weapon formed against me shall stand" on her computer monitor, she can be court-martialed.

if ONE student is a male-to-female pre-op transgender, all the little girls in the school and for that matter in the United States should have to share a bathroom and locker room.

And if ONE customer wants a gay wedding, all bakers, photographers and florists in the United States should have to agree to supply their wedding or face huge fines or else close their business and let their children do without.

Or if ONE employee is a person of color, no one in the United States may say things like "niggardly", "racoons in the basement" or "he's in a black mood today" without losing their jobs.

But this teacher? That's different.

Typical public schoolteacher...
