htownbrown Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-teacher-fired-after-tweeting-trump-is-our-president A damn shame. Obama could claim some unwarranted bullshit, but at least his supporters were allowed to defend him. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

MLD Woody Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I see a daily caller article that only references the teacher making the claim with some additional filler about how great he is. Maybe it's right, but the article is incredibly one sided. I'd like to know if there was more to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is the president after all. You don't have to like the news outlet reporting it to agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did your(our) due diligence. There appears to be more to the story. Not that the liberal news is covering this story, they're not, but I found one more bit of info not in the original article. Apparently, after the mob came for his original tweet, he responded to one of them with, and I quote: "Liberals Suck" and then quickly deleted it. Now I know what you're thinking, that is the cuntiest thing you've ever heard a teacher do. Unfortunately, there have been numerous other teachers in this district, according to multiple sources, to post scathing anti-conservative/Trump tweets without discipline. So essentially, you're looking at bias from either end. Pick your poison, I suppose. I know, I'm just as shocked as you even though we've witnessed it countless time. Now of course, the school denies any of this and cites confidentiality as reason to not talk about it. So call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but that's quite a cowinkydink. So there you go Woody, no use waiting on NPR, John Oliver, or Vice News, they don't give a shit. There won't be any witty jokes or background music with this story. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.detroitnews.com/amp/5481014002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of that "condescending" thing I've pointed out before. That's at least how I'm reading it.

You've been known to go on a patronizing kick. So there was an angry mob outside of the school? Then it sounds like this is more the bias and unreasonableness of that angry mob, not the inherent bias in the school, which attacked to protect itself. Not the most noble thing to do, but not exactly firing him for just tweeting Trump's our president. Though, again, we still don't really know the whole story.

We know as much as we're going to. It is bias by the school, and I'll explain it better this time. If you can shrug off the conservative mob, you should have the balls to shrug off the liberal mob. Unless, of course, your biased toward a certain mob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Dawg Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 In keeping with the theme of this thread, I wonder why Yale University hasn’t been renamed? It was named in honor of Elihu Yale, who was a slave owner and slave trader. I imagine since Yale University is a liberal indoctrination center, the Libs would be willing to overlook that fact.

But yes, I've said that many times. It's especially funny when certain posters here claim my time at University "brainwashed" me into liberal thinking. You think anyone on the Engineering campus gave a shit about any of that? Lol. We didn't even bother voting in our own Engineering student govt. You could win a spot with like 50 votes.

Hey Wood, maybe you explain to me the subtle differences between Grant Napear being fired from the Sacramento Kings for tweeting 'All Lives Matter' and Nick Cannon keeping his job as host of The Masked Singer on Fox after his minutes long racist rant. I ask this sincerely because you are usually better than at least some at trying to view an incident from both sides, or in this case, 2 separate incidents that parallel each other, yet have vastly different outcomes for vastly different participants. ^ It's things like this that have me fighting the current narrative from the media, the far left and its mob, as I do not play the 'heads I win, tails you lose' game very well - and that's quite the understatement.

Didn't Nick Cannon lose a bunch of business? Yeah ViacomCBS canned him. But Fox kept him. Weird. At the end of the day it comes down to what the private company thinks is best for their business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
