Teacher Canceled (Fired) After Refusing to “Meow” at a Student Identifying as a Cat
Red State Nation ^ | 1/17/22 | Sarah Hall

Posted on 01/17/2022 10:14:03 PM PST by Impala64ssa

A woman who was working as a substitute teacher posted a video to social media alleging she was fired by school officials. Why? Because she didn’t meow back at a student who thinks he’s a cat.

Now there’s no way to confirm or debunk this woman’s account. But for what it’s worth, here’s what the teacher claimed:

“Okay, okay. I’ve got to rant for a minute,” the teacher says. Just when I thought school couldn’t get any weirder, it did today.”

“I’m a sub, and the most important we do is take roll, so the school gets paid. So, I’m looking at the seating chart as I’m going up and down the rows and marking who’s here and who’s not,” continues in the clip. “I get to the third row and I hear this ‘meow!’ Uhhh, excuse me? Excuse me?” she narrates.

“I start looking on the ground, through the fourth row—everything’s good. Go to the fifth row—everybody’s there. Then I hear ‘meow!’ I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s up with that? Who’s doing it?’ And this little girl in the very front row says, ‘You have to meow back at him; he identifies as a cat.’ Are you kidding me?” she questions.

“I said, ‘Is there a litter box in here somewhere?’ My sarcasm self: I probably should not have said that,” the educator continues.

“He gets up and he storms out of the classroom, and I’m like, ‘Ruff!’ Of course, the entire class is laughing. I think, ‘Oh, no problem, no foul.’ I go to the office—Are you ready for this?—to check out. They said, ‘We no longer need your services if you can’t identify with all the children in the classroom.’ And you wonder why they don’t have any subs!” the teacher exclaims on video.

Video at link. Is this for real?? Neither Politifact nor the crazy cat lady at Snopes debunked this as of now. If true, what next? If a student starts playing a banjo in the classroom would teachers be expected to go Ned Beatty and squeal like a pig? Better keep my damned big mouth shut or they'll get more dumbassed ideas.

This all reminds me of the famous Hunter Thompson line:

Assuming this is real the teacher should play his game. If this kid thinks he is a cat then feed him a 100% meat diet while at school. Tell him that anything else will be bad for him or could kill him. Do not allow him on any of the furniture and when he misbehaves spray him with spritz bottle. Play time he can only use balls of yarn and cat nip mice.

This is one of those times I miss late comedians, Robin Williams in particular. I could only take Robin’s energy and manner in small doses, but he was very good at creating a parody of certain types of people.
He would probably have made a few movies about it by now.
Jack Black seemed to be the poor man’s Robin Williams, but he could also showcase the craziness of today.

Unfortunately Jack Black jumped on board with Barry’s ridiculous JCPOA.

An Obama supporter and hated President Trump from day one. So he’s your typical Hollywood Leftie.

I know a Biden supporter who thinks he’s an F-4B.

He whines all day.

L-1011; One of the prettiest airliners I ever saw. Was happy to fly from Baltimore to Orlando on one of them. A five year old granddaughter also on the flight, after about two hours remarked, “Next time let’s go in the car. This flying takes too long.”

Most wonderful airliner ever.

Truth be told, I was never lucky enough to get on a 747.
