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.”
To the left, extremely nice and quite boring Mike Pence is a super evil hatey hating hater.

Another Democrat supporter of “Pedophiles Against Trump 2020” shows her inner Fascist totalitarian...
yes but focus on both the teacher and then the students we have nanny cams to watch our kids and pets at home needs to be in every class room common area everywhere and rest homes and hospitals
Have they locked up their first one yet? I mean since our President took office. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head and there have been some doosies.
Our schools have many problems beides not teaching well enough for the kids to pass their annual exams which rate the schools. Some teachers are avid union members who believe the teachers union constant socialistic propaganda. This they try to indoctrinate the children with.
Violence signaling. Looking for the next James T. Hodgkinson.
I guess no name was mentioned.
Gee, good thing the teacher didn’t use the word “crosshairs” or this would be SERIOUS!
Before I took that wager I would have to check with one of my three sons. ;)
No red flag law will ever be used against a leftist threatening violence.

IMHO, this is THE most important observation posted on FR in quite awhile. Well and truly said, and every word of it!
My exact initial thought!
..........................................
I always thought it was a crime to advocate physically assaulting any public officeholder.
They have built-in protections. Government employees should not be. They are PUBLIC SERVANTS and get their pay from the TAXPAYERS.........................
Another no. Carolina lunatic teacher. State seems to be full of them at every level of education. Take names, make a list, publish it to warn sane parents who are teaching and corrupting their children.
Exactly! (same page again...) “:^)
I think “personnel” was said, not “personal”, in the article.
You are right, but the claim this is something that should be swept under the rug because it involves a personnel aspect, is ludicrous.
Laying out for the public the exact details of the infraction, should not be blocked by the fact the school has to react. It’s not necessary to voice approval or disapproval once the facts are out. THEN you state you can’t address the schools opinion until after the penalty is meted out.
Then you address the school’s official opinion.
Honestly, I don’t see why the school should be blocked from addressing a shocking thing anyway.
My use of the other word did have impact on my statement of course. In a way, it did become an issue of a personal nature, in that they refuse to talk about it.
And they wonder why young people just go out and shoot strangers for no reason. Oh, I forgot, it’s the gun that makes them do it.
If the old Obama FBI was still in charge they would make some fake excuse for that teacher.
