Exactly. So the system loses what is probably a very fine teacher, to be replaced by a cheap and clueless newbie.


... who probably can’t identify which century the Civil War occurred.

Did they fire all the people in California who advocate secession? That would be a good start.

Have you considered that, with California gone, there would be 55 fewer electoral votes available to the next 'Rat presidential candidate?

Interesting story.

BTW, the Monacacy Battlefield in Frederick, MD has a battle flag from the 16th VA I believe. They keep it upstairs in a case on the wall you have to open.

Most people don't even know it's there.

The level of stupidity among liberals is shocking. The Confederate Battle Flag should be displayed/viewed during lessons on the civil war, and the Nazi flag should be viewed during lessons on the European side of WW2. Anyone too delicate to handle that needs to be institutionalized.

The CSN second jack (1863-1865) is the rectangle version. A similar rectangular version was used by the Army of Tennessee later in the war.

The guy was probably a holdover from the days when some teachers actually taught...had to be gotten rid of by any means before his students discovered that most teachers are to stupid/bigoted to teach these days.

How can we possibly live in peace with these people - time for a divorce with the blue states

In most cases , the difference between a red state and a blue state is 2 or 3%.

Honestly, this is just the school district’s excuse to get him off double paid retirement and salary and replace him with a cheap college grad.

You may be right... I don’t care ,, sue them for a huge amount. Make everyone involved in or supporting the decision to fire him resign.

I went to the school’s website and submitted one of their online bullying incident report. Identified the teacher as the victim of bullying by the school board.

Hear! Hear!

Perhaps we should demand that every person be required to take a course in semantics. Gobbledegook is everywhere.

Maybe only those needing-to-be-institutionalized understand gobbledegook?

Sure, that would be a temporary band-aid for the GOP, perhaps for even a few decades. But in the long run that won’t make a difference. And in the short-term this would create a lot of very new difficult problems. And in the long run just think how it will impact the future of the human race on earth. No siree I’m a Unionist :)

This is precisely what we warned the south bashing seminar brigade here almost 20 years ago

Hope they are happy

Destroying southern culture is just easy first fruit to attain during the battle to destroy the legacy of whites which we used to call western civilization and everyone studied

I don’t think any of them have ever admitted they were wrong

“I don’t think any of them have ever admitted they were wrong”

and don’t hold your breath waiting for it.

I wonder if Nikki Haley is one of them

I have a Stars and Bars bumper sticker on my car, along with a Bonny Blue Flag one.

Neither are usually commented on ... I did have one person ask me if the Stars and Bars was the flag of some South American country ... and another person asked me if I was impersonating a brigadier general by having a one-star bumper sticker.

To both, all I could do was shake my head and sigh ...

I’ve thought about ordering a Stars and Bars for my house. No one would object because the Perpetually Offended wouldn’t know what it is and my windows would be safe.

A Bonnie Blue sticker would look remarkably like what brigadiers once had on their cars. I don’t think they do that anymore, terrorism being the reason.
