On Tuesday evening, a Connecticut school board meeting turned violent during a debate about a “racially insensitive” mascot.

The incident took place during a special school board meeting in the Glastonbury High School auditorium.

The meeting was set to debate dropping the school’s new team name, “the Guardians,” and bring back the previous name “the Tomahawks,” which was deemed insensitive by some.

The school board member initiated the physical confrontation, but look at how the media portrays it.....

We're going to see more of these types of incidents.

He had that punch coming.

You don’t push people.

We're going to see more of these types of incidents.

I think Tomahawk is cool. You’d think the Indians would be honored. It’s probably some white commies that are offended.

I wish a school board member would have pushed me.

You will get the same result. POW! Right in the kisser!

The board member shoved the parent, then got punched. In the video feed the “reporter” classified the punch as violent but not the shove.

[gitmo]

They got into a fight over the mascot name?

[Seruzawa]

Most Indians are honored. It’s not the Indians making the complaints. Except the usual always offended rent seekers.

Indeed, Tomahawk is cool. Guardians is a stupid name.

[Tench_Coxe]

Looks like it.

I would posit its really the underlying ideologies that were really at play.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep, the BOE member looked to be in the guy’s face and then ushed him.

[AppyPappy]

When we changed from the Indians, people of Native American heritage spoke in favor of keeping the name but the white board members dismissed them.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Liberals are always stepping up and being offended FOR someone else, because they are the Keepers Of Offensive Knowledge (KOOKS for short).

[VeniVidiVici]

Tomahawks offend me.

Spearchuckers would be better

[I want the USA back]

A significant item was omitted. The guy put his face close to the other guy’s face, who then pushed him away.

That’s hardly what can be called “violence” or a “fight”.

[Dr. Sivana]

The Guardians of the Universe find the current Glastonbury name racially insensitive to blue people. And they are VERY touchy. (P.S. Laura Ingraham is from Glastonbury.)

[BwanaNdege]

Just go with “Clovis People” as the mascot. So far, it looks l like they cannot be accused as “invaders who stole the land from the original inhabitants”.

[MercyFlush]

Good. It’s about time someone punched the teeth out of one of these arrogant Marxists who think they’re unaccountable for their bulls#!t.

The School Board Brown Shirt deserved to get punched since he was the one who initiated physical contact by pushing the guy.
