Lyn Orletsky, a teacher of five years at River Ridge High School in Woodstock, was seen on video kicking two students out of her class after they refused to turn their shirts bearing the pro-Trump slogan inside out. She was also heard saying it had nothing to do with Mr. Trump, but the slogan itself, which she compared to a swastika.

Ms. Orletskytold the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an interview Thursday morning that she thought the shirts would be offensive to minority students in the class.

One of N examples (where N is a very rapidly increasing number) that there are a lot of people in eddy-K-shun that don’t belong there.

And these type seem to cluster around public schools and the lib arts sections of so-called “unversities”.

Really? Does she actually believe minorities DON’T want America to be great again?

Did she kick out all those “minority students” who had the Obama “Hope and Change” t shirts for the past 4 years?

I would absolutely take her at her word if, as you ask, she had done the same thing for leftist images.

She thought. Why didn't she just do her job and teach?! It doesn't mention what she teaches.... I'm guessing not a hard science or math.

I can see how she might be confused. After all, they do appear very similar.
Sarcasm now off.

I’d bet $20 that this twit celebrates Kwanza and has a soldering iron and pliers in her purse when she visits the BLM ghetto.

You would be wrong.

Math.

“she said. “Unfortunately, since Charlottesville, the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ has been appropriated by a number of hate groups, a number of Neo-Nazi groups.”

Someone is watching too much Maddow.

Apparently high school math is now arithmetic.

There was a thread here last week about a college that had a 3.5 credit course that taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Imagine. 3.5 college credits.
