Teacher Points out Double Standard of School Walk-Out, is Disciplined

On March 14th and 15th,  2018, before the mass organized school “walkout” to push for more restrictions on gun ownership, a teacher led a discussion about political protests. Julian Benzel, a teacher at Rocklin High School in California opened a debate about how protests were political, and schools should be even-handed in their politics. The teacher reported the students understood the school should not pick losers and winners of controversial issues. From cbslocal.com:

Benzel says she never discouraged her students from participating in the national school walk out, but she did question whether it’s appropriate for a school to support a protest against gun violence if they’re not willing to support all protests.

“And so I just kind of used the example which I know it’s really controversial, but I know it was the best example I thought of at the time—a group of students nationwide, or even locally, decided ‘I want to walk out of school for 17 minutes’ and go in the quad area and protest abortion, would that be allowed by our administration?” she said.

She says the administration didn’t talk to her about her lecture, last week.

But while thousands of students walked out of class, Mrs. Benzel received a letter from her human resources department, informing her she’s being placed on paid administrative leave.

“I didn’t get any backlash from my students. All my students totally understood that there could not be a double standard,” she said.

Including Nick Wade, who didn’t walk out.

Taxpaid organizations taking political sides is a bad feedback loop. It results in more and more and more tax-supported organization.

That is the plan we must stop.

She is a good teacher, the kind that were common in American schools since America's inception. Her lesson was a lesson in Americanism, that is why she was disciplined.

How in the world could her lesson be considered "controversial"? I wish Tucker or Laura would get the HR department on their shows to explain this. Tucker would make mincemeat out of them, and they would slink away in shame.

I think she has a valid lawsuit. As vile as I find the practice, this $#!+ will only be stopped or slowed if the victims actually fight back.

Democrats hate dissension within the ranks. This poor teacher will wind up fired soon. Democrats do not like people to question their actions. It seems the Left is becoming more like the Fascists than anything else. Book burnings are coming soon.

The leftist of Broward county must be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and drug to pink goo

The utopians have the blood of the 17 on their hands and must be exterminated. Broward county must be cleansed of the Ameritrash leadership. The propaganda must be countered with action that destroys the progressives.

Law? hell there is no law in Broward county. there is only tyranny

“Democrats do not like people to question their actions.”

Over the years, I’ve noticed a trend toward this in some GOP elected officials as well.
