Windsor High School Principal Tiffany Riley has been suspended this week in response to comments she made about the Black Lives Matter movement. Riley sparked controversy in the community when she criticized Black Lives Matter and advocated on behalf of law enforcement and equity for all. The Mount Ascutney School District called Riley’s remarks trained by “ignorance, prejudice, and lack of judgment.”

According to a report by the College Fix, a high school principal in the state of Vermont was placed on administrative leave this week in response to comments she made about the Black Lives Matter movement.

In her remarks, Riley stated that she refuses to support political violence. She went on to claim that she still supports her local law enforcement officers.

In the statement, the board argued that Riley’s statements were tainted by “ignorance, prejudice, and lack of judgment” and that they were “utterly contrary to the values” of the “school board and district.”

District Superintendent David Baker argued that Riley’s comments were “outright racist.”

 

Heh. In a way - he's right. Her comments were outright racist.

"I firmly believe that Black Lives Matter..."

So let me get this straight... if some 300 pound man who’s so mentally ill he thinks he’s a woman shows up to teach your children - that’s not only okay, it should be celebrated and it’s now even against the law to fire them, because they’re you know, special.

But if someone in a school expresses an opinion that varies with the left’s positions, they’re out of a job on day one.

I wish this country would split in two. The left and right can obviously no longer co-exist, and BOTH sides would be happier that way (plus, we’d get the extra pleasure of seeing them turn into North Korea II in 3 or 4 weeks).

Of course, I don’t recall ANY of our esteemed, respected, honorable politicians even addressing this. Perish the thought! Lose half or more of their yearly bribes?! Heaven forfend!

...then you realize they never actually state what their “values” really are, only that they’re “contrary”.

Doesn’t the 1A specifically apply to the government punishing people for their free speech?

How does that not apply here? She is a public employee being punished for her opinion by another government employee.

If we split, it can’t be solely by geography.

The 100 or so largest urban areas become their own city / states and are Blue America.

The rest of the country outside of those large city / states becomes Red America.
