Don’t mess with the moms.

[livius]

Who was “messing with” her kid? Other kids or teachers just persecuting him, the school board interfering with his education on behalf of the teachers’ union, or on the other hand, perhaps people complaining about her kid’s behavior?

More information would have been helpful.

When I was teaching in NYC, I had mixed feelings about parent-teacher nights. It was generally the better students' parents who showed up, those parents I least needed to speak with. And that made perfect sense--these were the involved parents, and their efforts were reflected in their kids' better behavior and academic achievement. The attendance at these conferences by the parent-or-guardian (usually not a parent, usually a foster parent, grandparent or even sibling) of the low achieving and/or poorly behaved or non-attending students was sparse.

I would make sure my classroom was tidy, that student work was displayed (I had an "honor wall" for excellent work), and that obscene graffiti was removed from desks (shaving cream worked REALLY well and smelled good, too). I had my Excel spreadsheets ready to show how I derived the kids' grades, and that a tempting plate of cookies was placed on my desk as an icebreaker. Most of the meetings with parents-or-guardians went without incident and hopefully a positive outcome resulted. But there were exceptions, and these almost always involved a black parent-or-guardian crossing the line of respectful behavior toward me. Instead of politely discussing the shortcomings of their student and listening to my suggestions of how they could improve their grade, they would start to bellow various defenses of their student and accusations at me. Other parents waiting their turn were appalled. If a parent was acting out, I would not put up with it and I would politely suggest that they reschedule our conference at a future date when they were feeling better, and usher them out of the classroom. Thank G-d no one pulled a gun on me. These days, I'd be surprised not to hear of this happening frequently.

Brenzina?

It’s understandable. The hatred towards school boards and teachers is completely justified but not a gun issue yet.

“proceeded to open her purse and recklessly display the butt of her gun.”

How exactly does one “wrecklessly display” the butt of a gun?

[the OlLine Rebel]

OK, disconnect here.

Does she have a primary-school age child there?

They only mention her “teenage” son - which usually means high school - unless idiots everywhere are starting to consider “10” to be “teenage”.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Bad behavior, and not shocking about demographic.

But, I have to ask (and this is just like my experiences with COVID “screening”), isn’t it funny that all would be just fine if she had not shown her gun?

She honestly displays her gun and is arrested. If she kept it pat, not telling anyone, she doesn’t get arrested and no one freaks out and makes an article of it.

Conundrum.

I remember that people thought this was pretty cool when it was release on the net

Those damn white supremacist terrorists that our DOJ is so worried about are at it again I see ... oh wait ... wrong color ... nothing to see ... just move on.

Is Florida Woman related to Florida Man? Like, are they married or siblings or something? Because, gosh, this is just like Florida Man’s actions.

Dumb. Don’t say anything at all. If you think a tyrant needs to die, just do it.
