MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A Jefferson Middle School teacher was placed on administrative leave after a planned reenactment of the Boston Tea Party was determined to be offensive.

According to the Madison Metropolitan School District, the school principal stopped the history lesson from happening after determining it was “not consistent with the district’s vision, commitment to equity, cultural responsiveness, and was outside the scope of the district curriculum.”

In a statement, MMSD explained the teacher, whose name was not released, was placed on administrative leave, as per district policy, until officials complete an internal review of the incident. Administrators also plan to review curricular units with staff to ensure that lessons are in line with MMSD expectations.

It’s that pro-American stuff again. It’ll never be acceptable now.

The parents of that school should be tar and feathering the principal, then riding him out of Boston on a rail, like they used to.

Well, evil white men dressed up as Native Americans and committed a crime protesting the strong central government’s taxes.

Duh.

Good riddance for a yankee liberal. He opposed the traditional southern way of life.

Our national history is “offensive”. Screw these people. What other country trashes their national history?

Do they still let you throw boxes of tea (tethered to a rope to retrieve it) on that ship in Boston Harbor?
I remember doing that as a kid on vacation up there.

That would be the sensible response to such tyrannical behavior.

All K-12 students should attend high-quality private schools.

Shut the schools down.

They are no longer teaching facts and are intentionally rewriting history.

Everyone must come together and label school boards responsible such outrageous acts as “UN-American.” Label them with every sentence said and make it stick.

“The UN-AMERICAN Madison board of Education.”

Madison is in Wisconsin. I suspect the principal could not even find Boston on a map.

“...commitment to equity, cultural responsiveness...”

CRT right there.

In other words; it presents a ‘too white’ story.

These people need to be removed.
