A high school teacher in Fairbanks, Alaska, has reportedly been placed on administrative leave after suggesting to students that George Floyd would still be alive today had he complied with Minneapolis police.
In a video posted to YouTube last week, a teacher identified as "Ms. Gardner" is seen and heard conducting a virtual discussion with students about several high-profile shootings that have occurred in America of late, including police-involved incidents with black Americans.
When the topic of conversation shifted to Floyd, the teacher remarked that former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin "abused his authority" and "was complicit in George Floyd's death."
"But," she added, "if George Floyd had, at the beginning when they got him out of the car and went to put him in the police car, if he had just sidled into the car and slid it in there, and let them put his legs in, he would be alive today, and you know that's true."
Chauvin was recently convicted of murder and manslaughter for his role in Floyd's death last May. Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over nine minutes during an arrest while Floyd repeatedly complained that he couldn't breathe.

Jack Nickelson reminds us that “Some folks can’t handle the truth!”
And not taken massive doses of fentanyl .
So we aren’t allowed to say things, such as George Floyd resisting arrest set off the chain of events resulting in his death.
This sort of discussion is fine to have with high school students. This can help develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t we want our students to have critical thinking abilities?
Yup.
Guy spoke truth but could have saved himself a lot of grief if only he had shown 3:51 long video? /s

Absolutely, the only reason the lethal dose of fentanyl killed him was because he couldn’t breath, otherwise he would have been fine
...or passed counterfeit $20 bills.
Lowlife scum tend to die frequently from a lot of causes. There seems to be a correlation.
“is seen and heard conducting a virtual discussion with students about several high-profile shootings that have occurred in America of late, “
Maybe schools should stick to teaching advanced math and English rather than these vapid topics.
Or coding, or science , or advanced shop classes.
No one cares what a teacher thinks about recent police shootings .
He was going to not resist arrest.
He was going to comply and do his best.
But instead he started a wrestle fest.
Why?
Cuz he got high, cuz he got high, cuz he got high.
Obviously someone cared since she was suspended. As to the advanced math and english skills, apparently those subjects are now part of systemic racis’ activities. Or something. Friggin’ bizarro world.
He could have done anything that day, and it didn’t matter....with the fentanyl situation...he was finished for this life. There’s probably in Minneapolis...at least three or four folks per week who die from a overdose.
No. As Charles Foster Kane put it, people will think what I want them to think.
Well of course .....criminals always have a tough time!
Free speech is dead and buried in this fascist culture the left has created.
The libertarian in me weeps.
As FR has reminded us time and again.. Loose Lips Sink Ships.
Keep your powder dry, work behind the scenes, and hold your tongue until we can purge the National Socialists from government.
The teacher needs to sue.
Thatt seems to be the ONLY thing that stops these lunatics.
Bingo he was a dead man walking he wouldn’t have made it through the day he had twice the amount a person could handle.
But it doesn’t fit the race baiting story the media pimps.
Too,too obvious for the lefties and racists to grasp.

Bingo.
I was teaching in an urban high school during the OJ Simpson trial. Our principal stupidly ordered ALL teachers to have their classroom TVs tuned in to the trial when the verdict came in. It would be a “teachable moment”, as they say.
As you know, Simpson was acquitted. The black kids started to cheer. You could hear it all throughout the building. The white kids got very, very upset. We damn near had a race riot in the school that day.
