Conservatives terrorize teacher, daughter into fleeing home for wearing "I can't breath" t-shirt

Whenever you post, you are throwing scraps of human flesh, and the trolls climb up from under their bridges to feed.

You should charge for the tourists to watch.

 

I might make it my new challenge to post something so offensive and outrageous that @RayRay10 won't like it.

 

I stand with @RayRay10

I teach high school and would never wear a political shirt to class in person or online, nor do I think it's an ok thing to do. Harassing someone over it is pathetic though

 

Yes, that's pretty much what I figured. Thanks for the response.

 

I also teach math so it's not relevant to anything i do lol

 

@rocketsjudoka

 

What law is that?

 

Is that a challenge?

 

Not sure if it's a law or just common policy, but if the teacher is a gov't employee, he/she/they are not supposed to use government resources for political advocacy.

 

Ya i’m not sure if it’s an actual law or just a district policy but either way it’s super scummy so not something i’d ever do

 

This administration does that on a regular basis but they’re federal employees. This is at best a state employee so I’m curious what law she’s violating. The t-shirt is very broadly political, not a lot different than wearing an American flag t-shirt on a random day.

 

The district is a government entity so the 1st amendment should apply for the same reasons a teacher can’t force children to pray but can pray on her own in school all she likes. I just play a lawyer online though.

 

Title 5, United States Code § 1502

 

Children can’t vote, how would her wearing the t-shirt influence the election?

 

I didn't write the law.
I'll just say, for a real teacher, it is absolutely clear that you have to teach all of your students, see them all, hear them all, including the MAGA people, the Biden/Harris Team, Muslims, Chinese: all people. That includes Blue Lives Matter people, MAGA people. That's just the job. People who can't hack it, go be political activists.

 

Really don’t think i would be allowed to pray during class in front of students but again, don’t see how that’s relevant to anything

 

Seriously I could use a refresher in some complex geometry .... calculating the angles for tapered staves. Its mind boggling ....

 

But of course. Well mannered death threats I bet. We need a Rand Paul version of this title. Something like Violent Angry Mob Threatens School Teacher with Death.



Los Angeles teacher flees home after receiving death threats for wearing 'I can't breathe' T-shirt

A Los Angeles high school teacher said she was forced to flee her home after receiving numerous death threats for wearing an "I can't breathe" T-shirt during one of her virtual class sessions.

The teacher at El Camino Real Charter High School in Woodland Hills, California, initially received backlash last week from a parent who was upset that race and social justice topics were being discussed in his daughter's English class.
The upset parent allegedly shared the photo of the teacher on one of his social media platforms, resulting in widespread support and hate alike. According to the teacher, hundreds of emailed threats flooded her inbox after Elijah Schaffer, the podcast host of the YouTube show "Slightly Offens*ve," posted a screenshot of the photo to his Twitter account, where he has amassed more than 200,000 followers.

The teacher, who asked not to be named out of concerns for her safety, said she and her teenage daughter left their home after fearing some of the threatening messages she received.

El Camino Real Charter High School, Schaffer and the parent who allegedly shared the photo did not respond to CNN's request on Thursday for comment. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, the high school's executive director David Hussey said administrators have reached out to the teacher to "help her and support her as best as we can."

"The start of the school year with distance learning has been stressful and traumatic enough, but now this teacher has the stress and trauma of being attacked and harassed with hate speech and threats," Cecily Myart-Cruz, president of the United Teachers Los Angeles union said, speaking on behalf of the teacher. "This is absolutely unacceptable."

The ordeal comes after El Camino Real Charter High School permitted the teacher to modify her curriculum to include school-led instruction about racial and social injustice following numerous instances of police brutality that have garnered nationwide attention, the teacher said.

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) confirmed the school is an independent charter and can develop instruction on these topics as long as they follow state guidelines.

"Simply saying Black Lives Matter is not enough: educators and administrators must actively show it in their work in creating and promoting anti-racist curriculum," Myart-Cruz said. "It is paramount that our educators are able to teach these subjects knowing they will have the support and protection of their administration."

Several LAUSD educators posted messages across social media in solidarity with the teacher who was targeted.
"In support of our colleague from El Camino Real Charter High ... We won't stop! We won't back down! #BlackLivesMatter," wrote LAUSD teacher Stacey Joy on Twitter.
