Minnesota teacher who tweeted call to 'kill Kavanaugh' resigns

[KevinKohler]

She should have been fired instead of given the chance to resign.

Costs more.

I don't think the woman should necessarily have her life sent into total shambles over that comment, but when it comes to teaching children in school, I think her comments crossed a line.

Our children are far too important to take chances with.

.

You say when our schools have long been crap and when efforts to fix them never amount to much....and when todays youth are the worst raised generation America has ever seen, totally unfit and unready for what life will bring them....ready to be enslaved by their betters.

anyone that unhinged doesn't need to be around children.

This woman was a teacher who solicited for the murder of someone innocent of any crime. If she was an accountant, a cashier at a grocery store, or a fry cook at a local diner, then I'd be against her losing her job.... But this woman teaches children, and any person who solicits or advocates murdering a fellow human being should never be allowed to teach children of any age.

.

This woman teaches the most impressionable children there are.

Not any more she doesn't.

Just pointing out the irony of:

Yet more proof that liberals eject their bad actors while conservatives elect them to high office.

Speaking of Broad brushing.

To be fair, enough people refused to vote for Moore such that he lost. But unless my memory is presently screwed, it was still rather close.
