PORTLAND -- A state board will investigate whether a Beaverton teacher was on his own time or using state resources while he organized liberals to crash Oregon tea parties.

On Thursday, Jason Levin was put on paid leave by the Beaverton School District.

Levin has gotten national attention for a "Crash the Tea Party" Web site that called for opponents to infiltrate the events and behave outlandishly. That raised suspicion he was doing political work during schools hours.

Beaverton School District spokeswoman Maureen Wheeler confirmed Levin was placed on paid administrative leave as of Thursday while they conduct an internal investigation into his actions during work time.

When asked for what reasons, she said “we all know what it is."

The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission opened an investigation Wednesday.


Jason Levin holds up a shirt he was going to wear to blend in with Tea Party members during the movement's protest on Tax Day, but after his face was posted on the Internet he had to shelve his planned appearance.

What government officials call "paid administrative leave" most of us know as a vacation.

It's SOP. Innocent until proven guilty. Frankly I would prefer to pay him NOT to teach my kids. He's less dangerous to our kids when he's on paid leave.

If he did what we all think he did, then he won't be on "paid" leave for long.

In other words, he’s been given a paid vacation!

Exactly! He should have been made to clean all the chalkboard erasers after having to write 100 times:

"I will not taunt conservatives."
"I will not taunt conservatives."
"I will not taunt conservatives."

You mean the local government won’t pay for this lad’s political activities? There ought to be a law! The Democrats in Congress will get right on it.

Levin probably thinks he’s entitled to it. He’s so much smarter than the rest of us.

Leaving more time for mischief. Fire his a$$.

Same with the teacher in Wyoming, reported by the mom on Rush this afternoon. Her son called from school and said, “Mom you won’t believe what just happened in my history class. The subject of Tea Parties came up today and the teacher just said that this country won’t straighten itself out until all the old people are gone, or dead.”

Fire her.

Jason Levin ... what a d******g!

Seriously, if the Libtards wanted to crash our parties and cause trouble, they shouldn’t have telegraphed their plans to the whole world. Yes, they needed to recruit some warm bodies, but they forgot all about the military principles of surprise and concentration of force.

It might have worked — once — if they had achieved tactical surprise. But I doubt it would have worked twice, since the Tea Party patriots would have been onto their game

Based on what I’m reading, it’s all been pretty orderly today, which is exactly what we want. Let’s hope things stay that way. The Tea Parties are undoubtedly the most orderly and peaceful political demonstrations in the nation’s history.

God willing, the next time Libtard provacateurs try some stunt, it will really blow up in their faces in a way that even the communist media can’t cover up.

Yes, it’s Oregon — and from what I know of that state (& many I know who populate it) it’s almost worse than CA!

That comment on his web site that “we will sodomize your children” should be enough to put him on a watch list.

With its huge population, it’s a lot easier to find large pockets of reasonable middle of the road or conservative people in CA than in OR — from my experience, only the desert areas of eastern OR (with very few people) fit that description.

The entire western half of OR reminds me of the CA ‘bay area’ and not in a good way.

If you go to one of the FR links above and scroll down, it says Jsaon is a “black lesbian trapped in a white man’s body” or some such nonsense. If that ain’t goofy, I don’t know what is.
