Michigan School Fires Popular Teacher For Saying ‘Trump Is Our President’

The Left is the most intolerant group of people in this country.

To be fair the article failed to mention his since deleted tweet that said simply "liberals suck" the same night. On his twitter account that has plastered over it his school name and his positions in the school.

I wouldn't trust the article that only shares his side, especially when it fails to mention the other tweet.

Definitely not good, but do we really think that if another teacher tweeted "Trump supporters suck" they would also be fired?

I think it would probably depend on the specific school district and some of the demographics. But yeah in general I agree that a teacher who said that might get more leeway. I don't know that either deserves to be fired but both are definitely not good.

That's crazy that an article from 'freebeacon' left out facts that didn't confirm their narrative.

I would be embarrassed even posting something from that source. It's funny that all the Trump bootlickers here never stop talking about how biased the media is, then the post articles from clearly dubious sources that confirm their own bias and are (presumably) to be trusted.

Actually, my question was addressed to Smails, the one leveling the accusation. But I'll respond to your answer for him given that you are trying to defend him. I used "troll" in the post about xuphan because there was a vote as to whether xuphan was an irrational X fan or a troll. I, along with others, voted "troll". Saying that the word "hon" is name-calling is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? If that's all you got, so be it.

Sorry for the delayed response, work is crazy right now. I don't have the time to go through 2800+ posts and find every time you called someone a name, but when you call someone an 'asshole' (see recent posts) or dumb (see any of your posts where you argue economic policy with someone) it is indeed name-calling. Just because you feel it comes from a better place (your brain), doesn't make it any less or more juvenile than what MOR does. Rationalize it however you want but as I mentioned earlier, I don't think that calling people out for name-calling makes you look particularly noble. If anything it's a tad tone deaf considering these surroundings. I hope this helps!

Here's a link from the Detroit news. Do you think that this teacher deserved to lose his job?

The "asshole" comment was directed to the (unknown) person who posted the arguably racist comment, and not on this board, about Ramsey. But more fundamentally, I meant by the term "name-calling" the cutesy way that Trump (and MOR) like to denigrate people by playing games with their actual names. If I called someone who posts to this board "dumb" (I don't recall saying that, but I do recall using the word "obtuse"), I shouldn't have done so. I agree that personal attacks are not helpful in any serious discussion of political issues (or anything else, I might add), whether they come from the brain or any other part of one's anatomy.

It’s gotten to the point that all media is biased. They all leave out facts that don’t support their point of view. The problem is that the proverbial main stream media are all clearly biased against the President and anyone on the Right. To find anything even remotely positive for the conservative side of the aisle, you have to do some digging.
