If she had been shown having an abortion they would have given her a commendation.

Maybe she had it pointed at a pic of zero.

If she was smart, she’d explain the picture this way. “I have the rifle because I’m FIGHTING against “global warming” and homophobia. Those braindead “school officials” would fall for it. Obviously, they’re morons.

If she was holding a bong, crack pipe, or dildo she wouldn’t had any problems...

Or an aborted fetus, an Obama sign or a Communist Party membership card.

I called the superintendent's office when this was posted on Thursday. I only got the voice-mail. I said I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that there was more to this story because suspending the teacher for having being a lawful gun owner would not be responsible.

I really hate these type of busybody parents who think they are so righteous they have to be outraged at anything. This teachers contract will not be renewed. She has no protection from idiot administrators as a first year teacher in the district.

She wasn't just holding it.

Obviously it is a hate crime?

Warping young minds to hate?

The Flying O, doesn't like guns (duh) and thinks that anyone who has one is EVIL!

Thankfully I fall into the last one

It’s wrong for a school to even put a teacher on punitive leave for that. But the whole problem needs to be addressed—not only one instance of the problem.

Teachers and others are fired for violating any one of many perceived ultra-sensitivities (like telling a badgering class or coworker to “shut up”). That kind of firing in general needs to be stopped. It’s illegitimate.

If she had been wearing a Planned Parenthood tshirt or an Obama sticker she’d have gotten a fvcking promotion.

"She wasn't just holding it."

According to the article, she was holding a rifle that was pointed at the camera. Do you know something else that we don't?

Nope. Like I said, she wasn't just holding it.

Was this a harmless photo, too?

In the Land of Obama, the big-eared punk is king. Or something like that.

So Miss Betsy Ramsdale doesn’t have the same 2nd Amendment rights that you and I have because of her occupation? Interesting theory.
