High school student and his Bush-bashing English teacher (Larry Elder column)

[EveningStar]

Regular listeners to Larry Elder's show are familiar with this story. For the rest of you, you can read about it by clicking on the link. However, you are risking apoplexy if you do.

Looks like somebody deserves an "F."In the case of that pathetically ignorant "teacher", "F" is for "flagellation". It's unfortunate that the bastard was not identified. He merits the wrath of America.

[Wolfcounsel]

I think the monkey needs his name revealed.

The boy and his mother should have written/spoken with Professor Mike Adams instead -- then the whole world would have known the teacher's name, school, and probably would have contacted him personall or published an open e-mail to the guy. Prof. Adams loves exposing the audacity, hypocrisy, and absurdity of the "academic" lefties.

[DesertFox]

Some "teacher." This fruitcake is nothing more than a typical Lefty bully telling the typical Lefty lies. They no more "welcome debate" than a dog wants to sit on a cactus. That's just another lie they tell to sucker in young folks who lack the background to see them for what they are.

[TheIrishman]

I'm wondering why he is fired. He couldn't have anything like tenure. Fire his ass.

The boy and his mother should have written/spoken with Professor Mike Adams instead ....Uh uh. Lawsuit, with as much media coverage as possible. Slander is bad enough, which that certainly was, but deliberate malicious slander in front of students just screams out for a lawsuit against the school district. I almost wish some teacher had said something like that to one of my kids.

Are you saying the mother could have been sued by the teacher for telling Professor Adams? I don't see how it would have been any different -- they told Larry Elder, ANOTHER columnist for Townhall.com. Professor Adams hasn't gotten in any trouble for putting information on his website (e-mail addresses, names, etc.). How is what they are asserting slander?

Perhaps I am misreading your post.

[Rhino]

No. I'm saying the teacher/school should be sued for slandering the mother, re the fictitious drinking comments.

[Scaramouche]

Had it been my child this ideologue insulted and demeaned, he would have been gone, or the principal and/or the superintendant would have been gone for not doing their job! A piece of cake in a private school, but hard work in a government school!

[Bluemoon_Rising]

I guess I'm a dinosaur. Make no mistake about it. Back in my day, I would have flattened the punk, slapped my Mama's name right out of his mouth -- teacher or no teacher.

If this is true, dude crossed a line. Why has he not been fired?

[Maggie_T]

There are no "teachers" left in this country. They are all indoctrinators on the left's payroll (e.i. the NEA).

I'm sorry. I know there are some good people out there, actually teaching kids what they ought to be taught. Unfortunately, they are too few and far between to be even mentioned as "exceptions."

[Tazeeyore]

Pure BLATHERSKITE

Liberalisim is a mental disorder. It cannot be anything else.

[Gracchus]

So there was a whole classroom full of witnesses. It should be a simple matter to file a suit, bring forth the witnesses and evidence. But the story doesn't mention the teacher's name, the name, the name of the school, or the name of the community. Without these, the report is doubtful at best. Unless, of course, evidence is not needed in modern America.

[DoctorDoom]

The fact that the MSM didn't print the son of a bitch's name or provide any other details in no way invalidates the actual situation. All those things are known to the people involved.

BTW, if the prick had been a Republican (unlikely, since Pubs are by nature not that sort of liberal scum), you can bet your punk ass that you'd have the details. The shitheads in the DBM would assure it.

[Timberwolf]

This "teacher" would get an unexpected visitor to his classroom...and a debate would ensue. His students would be privvy to the FACTS. Ol' girly man would have to be on his game that day.

And people wonder how we afford to send our daughter to Christian School. How can we afford NOT to? One thing...it's a lot cheaper than prison. :evilgrin:

btw - since when did we promote crap to the rank of teaching our kids instead of flushing?

[DoctorDoom]

Since the advent of the NEA (No Education Allowed).

[Large_Al]

This guy needs to debate a Louisville Slugger.

Methinks you don't know America as well as you think you do. Has it dawned on you that maybe they are witholding that information because they'd rather try it in court rather than in the media, like it's supposed to be done?

For the purpose of putting this into context, here's the perfessor's comment, big and bold:

"I met your mom last night, and you might have a better understanding if she didn't drink so much while she was pregnant with you."

Ah, that clears it up. Sinuses, skies, traffic. The whole smash. Bluemoon is correct. And then after my kid gave Mr. Pencil-Neck a shot in the mug, I would have followed up with a quarryman's crack at the stones. Assuming he had any.

Dollars to donuts he doesn't even know proper punctuation or subject-verb agreement. Call it a hunch. Personally, I would have phrased it "you might understand better had she not drunk so much. . . Seems to me the pluperfect tense is what he needed.
