Is it just me, or does it seem like the reporter had to grit her teeth to write this?

[SkyDancer]

These idiots always apologize after the fact - they never think things through the first time but do an okay, we good now apology speech.

Have your kids film everything that happens in their schools. This is probably the only way we’re going to push these fools out.

I looked it up, the county the school is in voted over 70% for Trump. I’m impressed they got the apology out before school started back up tomorrow. They knew this teacher had really, really messed up.

[Dixie Yooper]

Well, why didn’t they say it was a math teacher in the first place? Move along, nothing to see here... can’t afford to lose a math teacher.

[Arm_Bears]

Can the teacher for emotionally traumatizing the students in the classroom.

Then can the principal for allowing an abusive culture to exist at the school.

[airborne]

So the teacher didn’t have to apologize?

[OldSmaj]

Well, it is Newsweak...so, yeah, any reporter that writes for that rag that actually might have to admit to some damned liberal stupidity...

I'd be surprised if she didn't slit her own wrists after.

There was a time when Newsweek was a decent publication...way, way back when.

The teacher has been identified. I can’t *imagine* why NewsWeak didn’t name her.

Lyn Orletsky from River Ridge High School in Cherokee County.

The video is available there, or was.

Now, just what the hell does math class have to do with politics?

[knarf]

The politics of that teacher was not only known before being hired, it is preferred.

Every public school should be abandoned

We can't shut 'em down, but we can stop sending our kids.

From the article: ...the school has issued a reminder to teaching staff that they are not to share their political opinions with students.

I taught 20 years at a Catholic high school, and freely shared my views on religion, politics, and everything else.

I never forced anything on anybody, and always solicited student opinions to help them to engage in civil discourse.

What a different experience from the government schools.

[BenLurkin]

Teacher should be fired.

Just my opinion.

[FatherofFive]

We can't shut 'em down, but we can stop sending our kids.

Voucherize the entire school system. Give parents a portion of the budget, and let them send them to the school of their choice. We couldn't possibly get worse results than we have now.

How queer. Nothing in the excerpt where the teacher compared Trump t-shirts to swastikas.

[a fool in paradise]

The teacher was a Democrat Bully.

I thought schools today “banned” bullying.

[a fool in paradise]

To clarify, it’s not an indictment of the excerpting, I won’t give Newsweak the webhits and had seen previous articles on this controversy.

[PeterPrinciple]

Why do I think the students knew the lib teacher would be upset and set her up. Good for them.................
