Washington, DC — Wednesday’s crowd in Washington, DC was estimated to have exceeded 100,000 Americans to peacefully assemble and listen to a speech from the President of the United States of America. All but a handful of the attendees dispersed peacefully. However, nothing done by the people who carried the demonstration into the US Capitol takes away from the legality and propriety of attending a political rally headlined by the president.
Unfortunately, faculty and staff members in Jefferson County, WV just found out that it doesn’t matter if the voters in that county voted overwhelmingly to reelect President Trump, all it takes to put your livelihood in jeopardy is to have a bigoted and fascist school superintendent who is completely ignorant of the provisions in the US Constitution. These educators are now in jeopardy of losing their jobs.
Nearly 30 teachers in Jefferson County, West Virginia that attended the rally at the Capitol in Washington DC on Wednesday are now being threatened with termination.
A letter was sent to the teachers by the Jefferson County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bondy Shay Gibson. In the letter, the teachers are told to report to a meeting on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, where disciplinary action, including termination, will be discussed. The teachers are encouraged to bring a representative with them. The teachers were also told to not enter any Jefferson County School’s property or attend any school activity.
According to another source, this is what the letter said:
“I was made aware that you took part in the Electoral College protest that erupted into deadly violence on January 6, 2021. I have reviewed disturbing videos and photographs posted that tagged you on a public social media page, which included threatening and demeaning statements regarding federal government officials.”

The night of the long knives.
I’m sure ANTIFA will be right on top of this, them being
anti-Fascist and all. /s
Please pass the tar and the feathers .
And a rail too if you do not mind.
“...which included threatening and demeaning statements regarding federal government officials.”
It would be justified if the superintendent got fired instead.
We need to stand with those teachers.
The superintendent should bring counsel.
Judge Janine is all over the people who got in the capital
give me room here...
I repeat “if you are in a war and you are the only one being fair... you will LOSE”
war ... a war... they needed things inside to fight against lying cheating dems.. and save us from socialism !!
do people today not understand what war is,,?
you all got a taste of dems retaliating.. 1 day... how about 4 years.
Unity! [/s]
First amendment rights. As long as teachers did this on their day off, their superintendent cannot do anything about it.
If the school system lets the superintendent have his way, he’s going to cost the system a bundle in 1A lawsuit settlements. School board nees to get a clue.
He bit off more than he could chew. Those teachers were on the phone to their Union Reps the SECOND he opened his Fascist mouth!
Here’s hoping our Governor, Tony Evers (Douche, WI), tries a similar stunt!
I’d love to see our governor, who was formerly the Director of Public Instruction, try this, LOL!
I love it when Socialists eat their own. *SMIRK*
The crime is “Demeaning statements about government officials?” Like every demeaning statement teachers constantly make against Trump (in my CA district, which my kids are no longer in)?
“I don’t think I’ll let you fire me today, Gibson...”
What would it take for the Superintendent to be quickly removed instead?
“The teachers are encouraged to bring a representative with them.”
My mind wanders as I contemplate what kind of representation I might want to have with me.
.....So I guess speculating on Joe Biden’s mental abilities or Kamala Harris’s moral values is now a firing offense......
What mental abilities?
What moral values?
