A high school teacher in Union County, North Carolina is in hot water after allegedly telling a class that Vice President Mike Pence should “be shot in the head.”
Information about the Cuthbertson High School teacher’s remarks has been referred to the Secret Service, the Union County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to FOX-46, the comments reportedly were made in reference to the veep’s trip to the state in support of recently elected US Representative Dan Bishop.
Cuthbertson parent Firas Obeid, who’s “not necessarily” a Pence supporter, said it was “ridiculous” to make such a statement about the second-highest ranking official in the country.
“Affiliation to a specific party does not entitle us to make statement like that to anyone,” Obeid said.
Union County GOP Chair Allison Powers said “To just wish that kind of violence on anybody is just way out of bounds,” but added she wouldn’t go “as far as asking for the teacher to be fired.” She said she trusts the school board to take the “appropriate action.”
In a statement, the school district said “Union County Public Schools is aware of the allegation of inappropriate comments made by a Cuthbertson High School teacher. District administrators are taking this allegation seriously and an investigation is being conducted. This is a personnel matter and information related to this alleged incident is protected by state law.”
Personal matter my ass!
WTH are the talking about.
She blurted that out in a classroom full of our kids.
Personal?
Bull stuff!
Cameras in the classrooms is a must.
I agree, and if I got the gender wrong, I stand by my comments.
“Affiliation to a specific party does not entitle us to make statement like that to anyone,” Obeid said.
Mr. Obeid sounds like an old-school immigrant. The kind of guy who came here to be an American.
#WalkAway, Firas, before the Democrats instigate some major bloodshed. You don't want to be with them when they do.
teacher should be fired.
and
it escapes me what anyone could have against Pence so much
... he’s one of the better-mannered politicians
Not necessarily. Best course of action would be to hire an attorney and bring a lawsuit against the person threatening. A lawsuit will tie up the credit rating and get the problem into a court before a judge. You might be able to get an award for damages =$$$. Word will spread rapidly and they will not be so brazen as to amke such threats in the future. It will take patience though.
Apparently this kind of language in a public school classroom is not #RedFlag worthy.
Now if a student had worn a T-shirt depicting Old Glory on it ...
My exact initial thought!
Exactly. Plus remove his teaching certificate from the state.
He would more than likely be hired immediately out of prison from a state like California.
Hopefully by the time he gets out of prison Calexit will be complete.
Any teacher who says this about anyone at all, should be at the very least fired.
She should be fired. As she quickly would be, had she said that any democrat office holder should be shot in the head.
I wonder how she justifies this kind of threatening rhetoric.
Hopefully, the principal and school board are being bombarded by input from the parents there.
Thanks for posting. Violence signaling. It’s here. What was once virtuous is now violence oriented.

Prepare accordingly. There is no justice.
Immediate dismissal.
If she said this about a politician that upsets her why wouldn’t she say (or think) this about a student that really triggers her?
‘Name, shame and FIRE this weeotch.’
I would wager that she is both black and homosexual; in the words of the great Fred McMurray, ‘double indemnity’...
This teacher shouldn’t be saying ANYTHING to schoolchildren.
Get him or her out of the classroom NOW.
They hate truth and light more than they do Pence.
“Union County GOP Chair Allison Powers said “To just wish that kind of violence on anybody is just way out of bounds,” but added she wouldn’t go “as far as asking for the teacher to be fired.” She said she trusts the school board to take the “appropriate action.” “
And there you why Republicans keep getting their asses kicked by the Left.
It also leaves me wondering whether she actually AGREES with the teacher.
More laws are the plaything of a permanent beauricratic class who revel in selective enforcement....
