Union County high school teacher reportedly told students VP Pence should be 'shot in the head'

It was an appropriate response to the OP, my friend. The poster tossed up a straw man and was trying to get people to bite. Sorry, if I offended.

I'm back in South TX this week. It's still hot. Hasn't Texas heard of "fall weather"?

Not sure how anyone in thier right mind would think making a statement like that out loud to students would end well.

Public school teachers need to keep their politics out of the classroom and it should be laid out for them in a 'code of conduct for teachers contract'.

Hope she gets fired.

But private school teachers in Christian schools can push the idea that Jesus rode dinasours and that homosexuality is a crime?

There isn't a constitutional right to make threats against leaders without drawing the scrutiny of authorities.

Key words in this Fox report are "allegedly" and "reportedly". And Fox46 not disclosing this teacher that allegedly and reportedly made this comment to students is also indicative that this story is fake news. Aren't the right always crying about "innocent until proved guilty" ?

And yet the lefties have been nonstop for three years now saying that Trump might have done this, could have done that, may do this, possibly did that, maybe did this.

Most of them do just that. Sorry you're proliferating outrage kultur due to some bad apples.

Perhaps you should apply this same generalization to the cops.
 
Local news reporting:
Channel 9 has learned students have been interviewed as part of this process, and there may be some conflicting accounts of what was actually said.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office said the comment was referred to the Secret Service.

Channel 9 reached out to board members who said they're waiting on the outcome of the Secret Service investigation before they take any action.

Well no, that's not true at all. The Mueller investigation interviewed witnesses under oath. People like Reince Preibus, Don McGahn, Corey Lewandowski, Michael Cohen, Allen Weisselberg and many others who had first-hand knowledge of events. They substantiated the instances of obstruction of justice, campaign funds violations, Trump Foundation violations, etc.

This was not 'heresay' or 'alleged', these were grand jury testimonies under oath. You can quit comparing the two, it doesn't hold water.

Obstruction of justice is in the eyes of the beholder and of course the left have lefty eyes. Obama had campaign fund violations. Many candidates have. So what?

Ah yes. A story about a teacher saying (allegedly) something bad and you can't wait to make a political hit job on us.

How stupid is your post?

1. Wanting to shoot a politician because of their politics is political and insane.

2. Democrats tend to dislike guns.

3. Democrats seem to dislike guns except for when they can be used against their opponents. That’s the lesson of the last century.

Nope. What you posted above was pure straw and had absolutely no correlation to what I originally posted.

Your guns....Their guns are fine....

"James T. Hodgkinson, the man identified as shooting a Republican member of congress and four others on Wednesday morning, was a small business owner in Illinois who defined himself publicly by his firm support of Bernie Sanders' progressive politics -- and his hatred of conservatives and President Donald Trump.
This is based on CNN's review of Hodgkinson's Facebook profiles, public records, and three years of impassioned letters to his local newspaper.
"Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co." he posted on his personal Facebook page on March 22.
"Republicans are the Taliban of the USA," he posted in February."

We have seen this type of behavior from Democrats before.

● Segregation
● Different laws and punishments
● Limited choice in employment and strict labor contracts
● Banned from bearing arms

You wish. I called your reply what was, a logic fallacy, a strawman.

A logical fallacy? Like promoting "libertarianism" and quoting Gandhi?

Gracious commentator, I see you cannot grasp the absolute opposition of those two dogmas.

Such a pity.

Yes, Bernie "I'll work with you" is at fault here.

Shall I go back and dig up your commentary blaming the republicans and Trump and fox news for the El Paso shooter?

Dare me to do so?
