This guy may turn out to be a creep but the book looks like stupid kid humor. If people can’t see that then they need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Even watching the video may not be enough for the perpetually offended crowd that have chosen to weigh in on this issue without knowing the whole story.

I always thought it was the left that chose to find offense in every little thing and that people on the right were more of the critical thinker type. I also thought that people on the right had a sense of humor and would be the first to laugh at silly, childish humor rather than jump to the conclusions that I see here.

Thus my dismay.

The only reason I clicked on the link in the first place was that it concerned my home state and an area near where I was born and grew up. I am attempting to contact old friends who may live close enough to give me some insight into who this man is, what kind of man he is, and what really happened.

I am not going to say that the people here are wrong about this person, but I am not going to say they are right unless/until I know more.

“I am not going to say that the people here are wrong about this person, but I am not going to say they are right unless/until I know more.”

And THAT type of reasoned analytical bent USED TO BE the broad-based norm here on FR: withhold a verdict until the facts are in, AND we had the manpower to GET the facts, and we did. That is what built this FR community. Hate to say, but that day is far spent, the shadows grow long, and swift comes The Night.

Well, I just talked to my mother who still lives near there and she said that from what she is hearing, the parents of kids in the school are up in arms over this firing. The Assistant Principal was apparently well-liked by everyone and they think that this was just plain stupid. She said that the Superintendent is a woman who knew nothing about the book, read only the title, and fired him. The Superintendent is not very well liked by the parents in the area and it sounds like she is even less liked after firing this guy.

Like I said, I don’t know the guy myself. But, it sounds like one of my Aunts may have worked with him when she taught school there. I may reach out to her and ask what kind of teacher he was. According to what he said in an interview, he has been working in education for 20 years or more, so I’ll bet she knows him.

Nope!

There have been so many outrages regarding government school teachers, the “giving them ‘doubt’” credit line is so overdrawn that it is at the black hole level.

Sparing the “Drama’ is completely under your control. If my posts upset you, skip them.

Of course. Because “Public School Teachers” are a monolithic collective of identical leftoid carbon copies, just like “right-wing Conservatives” are all neo-nazi white supremacist fully-automatic rifle-toting Art Bell worshipers who believe in Sasquatch and UFOs, and deserve to be treated as such.
