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.

Not Jon Voight’s ‘88 LeBaron convertible by any chance?

Oh, never mind.

“I identify as a Warthog. BRRRRRT!”

I prefer BRRRT—BRRRT—BRRRT

That is going to be one wonderful lawsuit for her if she retains a good lawyer.

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

First flight was on a British Airways 747 in 92. Hated flying. We circled Heathrow for what seemed like an hour and all I could think of was what's keeping this thing up? Was a white knuckled flyer then and still am.

Yah. Being such a chicken, the control surface adjustments as we circled sounded like a garbage truck compactor. I was seated in a window seat right on the wing.

To make it worse, I was flying with someone who was on 747 that blew an engine on a flight home from Italy. They had to make an emergency landing at Gatwick. Thought she was going to break my right hand.

20. Re a 747. Heaven above earth. Had to be because I met the nicest, most beautiful stewardess while flying back from Nam/Cambodia (and was sick with a bad stomach). She got me a coke and sat with me for a while.

A shame- she had just moved from DC to SF because she was doing the Pacific route. Only lived about 6 miles from me. I cried a lot over that.

If some “asshole” decides to fart in my general direction, what am I supposed to think? Do I try to fart back or just say “Hello, asshole!”?

Neither was I. But I did make it onto an
L-1011.....that one time. Also flew on a Boeing 777, to Hawaii and back. I don’t like loooong flights.

As nutty as this country has become, I doubt this ever happened. We don’t get to know where or when this happened, nor any reference to the school district where she supposedly was a teacher.

Not buying it.

I have said for several years: Transgender is removed from Trans-dragon only by degree. In addition to hormone therapy, reconstruction, and prosthesis, the latter also suggests the need for an ignition source and fuel supply.

Certainly, trans-feline is right there as well.

I asked on the other thread, if the student identifies as a dog is the teacher obligated to sniff his butt? That is how ridiculous this has all become.

I tried working as a substitute teacher at the local school here. The year before a student asked me what different jobs I had and I had been an underwear model displaying the underclothes of Civil War and Revolutionary War soldiers. The new school year another student had heard the rumor and asked me in a class if I had been an underwear model and I skirted the issue except the females in the class made crass comments. One of the woke students was offended and a woke teacher went to the principal and complained. The next class were the same students and I explained that they had been judicial and jumped to conclusions about the underwear. The woke teacher was outside the room and went back to the principal who removed me and asked me to not come back.

Another female student tried to shock me by stating that she was going to have to get a job as a stripper to pay for college and I nonchalantly explained I'd seen that at Memphis back in 1978 with a few females that I took classes with....God help me if I had mentioned Ms. Etta Milton.

Another teacher was upset that I had interpreted a poem she had assigned that used the phrase "beast with two backs" Shakespeare used it back in the 1500's as a euphemism for sex. I explained this to the students in an erudite manner yet the teacher was upset that I had defined it and asked that I not substitute for her again.

I no longer substitute because the "elephant traps" are too much and the teachers are hypersensitive because of my extensive educational experiences and qualifications. It is a racket and no wonder why the ACT scores barely average 18 here.

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

I cannot stop laughing at this. I worked on F-4B's many years ago and the picture is stuck in my mind. My whole work day is ruined because I will be smiling when I should be scowling.
