Teacher who told students to remove Trump shirt resigns
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 10/18/17 | Ellen Eldridge

Posted on 10/18/2017 5:07:07 PM PDT by madprof98

She was put on administrative leave in September, shortly after a video of her request that two students wearing “Make America Great Again” T-shirts turn them inside out, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

She said she was motivated to ask the students to remove the slogan because it had been used by neo nazis during the violent Charlottesville rally.

Orletsky released a statement Wednesday, saying she is fearful for her life.

“After attacks on my character and threats on my life, I have made the decision to resign from my teaching position at River Ridge High School,” Orletsky said. “While in hindsight I would have handled the situation differently, the outcry over this incident has been disproportionate to the event itself.”

Orletsky told students that wearing the slogan made popular by President Donald Trump was like wearing a swastika.

The newspaper never allows comments on articles like this or reports of crimes by black people. So we are expected to conclude that this nutcase teacher is yet another Trump VICTIM.

“The outcry has been disproportionate...”
Well lady, YOUR original order and statements were disproportionate!
Tell it to Dana Loesch who had to leave her house!

In her almost four minute video, she said it wasn’t about President Trump. (HA!) she said that ever since Charlottesville, the slogan is like a swastika. Sorry lady, that is a ridiculous statement.

While in hindsight I would have handled the situation differently, the outcry over this incident has been disproportionate to the event itself.

Welcome to the real world where a lot of things are disportionate to the event itself.

“After attacks on my character and threats on my life,

The attacks on your character are accurate. There have been no threats on your life, drama queen.

I have made the decision to resign from my teaching position at River Ridge High School,”

And good riddance. I hear Wal-Mart may be hiring. Or Starbucks. They can train you.

" ...the outcry over this incident has been disproportionate to the event itself.”

Translation: I thought I could get away with it. I wasn't expecting anyone to stand up to my bullying.

Orletsky told students that wearing the slogan made popular by President Donald Trump was like wearing a swastika.

Any "teacher" who believes that making America great again is akin to endorsing the genocidal insanity of Nazism isn't fit to teach anyone but al Qaida recruits.

Trust me she would have never resigned unless she had secured a position at a left leaning high school, which there are plenty.

I actually had a back and forth with Cynthia Tucker in 2000. She said I was a miserable little person and I called her an elitist. AJC would never allow that now. And they want you to pay to be insulted.

She should go teach in Chicago Public Schools, where she will absolutely not have to see MAGA t-shirts.
