180 and counting
American Thinker ^ | 18 Sep, 2025 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

Over the last few days, many children in Texas told their parents what they heard or saw in the classrooms about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Unfortunately, some teachers decided to engage in political activism. They expressed opinions, usually negative, of Charlie Kirk. It was too much for many parents who went over to see the principal.

It was also too much for Governor Greg Abbott, as we see in this story:

The Texas Education Agency is investigating teachers and staff who have "posted and/or shared reprehensible and inappropriate content on social media" about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As expected, the American Federation of Teachers played the "rights" and "political witch hunt" cards.

Of course, we will soon hear that the governor is a Nazi, a racist, and plans to cancel the next election to stay in power. The Democrats are a "one song band" and that's about it.

The real issue is not rights but common sense. Nobody pays taxes to have their kids indoctrinated in public schools.

My guess is that some students, probably junior or high school, may have brought up the topic. All we want is for teachers to respect the parents and avoid opinions. You can say something proper like the shooting was terrible and violence is out of turn. Unfortunately, some went beyond that and parents gave the principal an earful.

Thank God. What were these teachers thinking? As we can see, some were not using their brains:

A teacher and football coach at Klein ISD, near Houston, was fired after commenting on a Facebook post and calling Kirk “racist, homophobic, a misogynist, transphobic nasty person,” according to the Houston Chronicle.

I hope this scum all get what they DESERVE. A place in the unemployment line. Thanks to Joe Pedo, we’ve now got 20 million illegal aliens to do the jobs those so-called “teachers” aren’t allowed to do because they are Bolshie freaks.

Trump/DOJ need to do a complete financial and criminal audit of REVCOM and ANTIFA and find out which ones are teachers and professors. Every keystroke the commies have ever tapped need to go to NSA and through supercomputers/AI to find the common denominator(s).

THEN DRIVE them out of the education system or into the gallows.

“calling Kirk “racist, homophobic, a misogynist, transphobic nasty person,” according to the Houston Chronicle”

Lazy leftists use these pc pejoratives without specific evidence. I’ll bet they never heard Charlie speak and are forming opinions through second hand accounts. The examples of what Charlie said are edited, taken out of context and just manufactured.

Does the title mean something? Words usually mean things.

The author probably did not do the title. I had to search for it. 180 is the number of complaints against teachers in Texas so far. It was in the title of one of the linked articles.

If you search for donate TPUSA you find that TPUSA donations are tax deductible.

. . . which raises the question as to whether TPUSA can sue for libel damages on the specific grounds that libeling Charlie Kirk threatens TPUSA’s 501 c3 status.

“Nobody pays taxes to have their kids indoctrinated in public schools.”

A broad statement not based in reality. My public k-3 was very much into the pledge of allegiance to the flag with the new phrase “under God” in the pledge. My K-5 in the same school was the opposite.

My High School grades 11 & 12 was very UN Human Rights (which was not as long then as it is now.) My world government teacher in grade 12 was of the opinion that white Human Rights should not be applied selectively to 3d world countries. That was backed by the school board.

My kids’ public schools had different indoctrinations...but just as indoctrinating.

A justification of cameras in every classroom. At least record 24/7, like security cameras. Better yet, a WWW link so that at any time any parent can dial-in to any camera and watch.

Criminal behavior will stop immediately.
