Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said over 100 teachers in the state will have their teaching licenses suspended over inappropriate social media posts related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Many employees nationwide have been fired or suspended over social media posts related to the assassination so far. School employees in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Mississippi and Pennsylvania are currently under investigation for what they wrote on social media regarding Kirk’s death.

Abbott said the Texas Education Agency is investigating teachers in the state who have “called for or incite violence following the Charlie Kirk assassination.”

“Those educators—more than 100–will ‘have their teacher certification suspended and be ineligible to teach in a Texas public school,’” Abbott posted on X.

Im hoping more republicans grow spines. The left is going to hate them no matter what, so why not be hated for doing good?

Well there’s an unfortunate and unkind choice of metaphor. Not fromTX; no stake in this game. But as an observer I’d say that, while has has bad moments, they are far outnumbered by the good

The true number of Leftist activist teachers bringing this crap into the classroom is 100x this number.

Trouble is he is a great follower who fancies himself as president, yet he refuses to boldly lead on anything. We need bold leaders.

What drives people to need to publicly express positivity that Charlie Kirk was murdered? Even if a person was so depraved that they personally felt joy at the death of another by terrible murderous circumstances, what is it that compels them to proclaim joy or affirmation of the murder? They have to know that doing so may cost them their jobs and identify them as haters who deserve shunning? But they still do it? Why?

Oh no doubt about that. But I do think it is a revelation of what we’re up against. We all sort of thought it was out there, but to see so many openly flaunting it is astounding to me maybe not to you but to me.

Teachers celebrating a school shooting is a pretty good sign of a major issue.

“Suspended”

How about,”cancelled” or “revoked”?

“..I’m hoping more republicans grow spines. The left is going to hate them no matter what, so why not be hated for doing good?...”

I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high...lol.
In order to grow a spine, they need to find their balls first. One could maybe lend them a magnifying glass for that. GOP women seem to have more...
As one of my former Bandidos MC friend used to say: “IF ya gonna be hated, be well-hated.”
