A history teacher told her students Trump was still president. She's been removed from the school.

Sarah Silikula's son got into the car after school one day last month, upset and confused by what his teacher had just taught him. Armed with new knowledge, the eighth grader had an announcement and a revisionist history lesson for his mother.

"I'm never getting vaccinated. I'm never getting any more shots of any kind. Did you know Trump's still president?" Silikula remembered him saying.

The boy's middle school history teacher unleashed a rant during an Oct. 18 class at Anacapa Middle School in Ventura, Calif., KCAL first reported. She raved against coronavirus vaccines, the criminal justice system and the 2020 presidential election results. Silikula's son used his phone to record a seven-minute video of his teacher's diatribe, which he gave to his mother. Silikula shared the recording with Ventura Unified School District administrators, and officials there told The Washington Post that they investigated the incident and removed the teacher from the middle school but kept her on as a district employee.

Good gosh.

They make this eighth grader sound like a second grader.

Pathetic.

While she may technically be right, she shouldn’t confuse the
kids by trying to push that narrative.

It has been accepted that he lost. I don’t believe he lost,
but through chicanery, he was removed from office.

I still believe that some day folks are going to know for
damn sure he was removed unlawfully.

I thought Primary School was grades 1 through 3.
Middle School was grades 4 through 6.
Junior High from grades 7 and 8.

I guess things have changed in 55 years.
What else is new?

Fascinating what gets a teacher instantly fired...

Now if she says things like America is an evil country then she gets protected.

My kind of teacher...
Too bad he got snitched out.

Reminds of the Sam Kinison character in Rodney Dangerfield's movie.

Back to School

I agree that Trump was cheated out of a win, but that’s not equivalent to saying that he “is still president.” This teacher was factually wrong. It’s like saying Napoleon is still emperor of France. No, he’s not.

Tough as tough can be for an intelligent, aware teacher to go to work these days, when repeating falsehoods is her job.

The propaganda is getting to point where it is a a joke about itself. Sure, some eight grade boy 1. cares, 2 gets this in class, amd 3 whines to mom. Gawd I hope boys haven’t swallowed the blue pill already.

I would agree with your premise.

Fact of the matter is though, he was not legitimately
removed from office.

He is still the person who is the legitimate president, even
if it is not officially recognized.

Biden is an imposer. The media and government wonks are
covering for him.

I don’t see it like Napoleon.

This was under cover of authority. It was pseudo
sanctioned by everyone who should have pushed for
a legitimate reckoning.

I might not like to accept it, but if there had been a
legitimate investigation where all the fake stuff was
accounted for, I might buy in.

We know they have done an end run on the reality of it.

I’m not buying their dog n pony show.

She is exactly right.

She also used poor judgment > IMO.

Well Biden is not really President.

And while I used to trust vaccines, not do much anymore.

Primary is now PRE-K (really) to grade 5, “middle” is is 6-8, and “high school” is 9 through 12.

What they are teaching in 12 is nowhere near as challenging as we learned in JR high. It’s a travesty and a crime, and the NEA belong behind bars for what they have done.

Thank goodness she appears to be outside the range of the LA Commies [that's not a baseball team!!].

My wife completed her master’s degree a few years ago, and I was shocked to see books on her required reading list that I had read as a freshman in high school 30+ years ago.
