I received a rather disturbing report of yet another case of Trump Derangement Syndrome -- this time from a high school in Camarillo, California.
Jane Germaine said her son's English teacher at Rancho Campana High School told the class that she lost a $100 bet because President Donald Trump had not been shot on Inauguration Day.
Mrs. Germaine tells me the teacher's remarks were troubling.
"A public school teacher using classroom time to share with students how she lost a bet because the president was not shot on Inauguration Day is beyond reprehensible to me and I do not see how the school district does not find this troubling as well," she told me.
And it turned out not to be the first time she's heard about teachers at the high school making politically-charged statements in the classroom.
"Teachers telling students that Trump hates women, Fox News is 'fake' news, it's raining so much in Southern California these days because Trump is president, a teacher telling students she is estranged from certain family members because they are conservative - I could go on and on," she said.
"How is a 15 or 16-year-old supposed to process what this means, especially if their family is conservative, approves of Trump and watches Fox News," she wondered.
The assassination crack was the last straw. So Mrs. Germaine filed a complaint with the school district.
"My husband and I feel that our concerns have been completely dismissed by the school and the school district and they are just hoping that we forget about this and go away," she said.
And that's why she contacted me.
I, too, reached out to the superintendent -- but so far - my messages have gone unanswered.
Maybe the teacher was just cracking a joke? Maybe it was part of a lesson plan? Or maybe the teacher was just blowing off some steam? Who knows?
But I suspect had a student made similar remarks, he would've been hauled off to jail.
"If my son were to say such comments, even remotely similar in nature, he most likely would have been escorted out of class, I would have received a phone call, law enforcement notified and my son would have been suspended or expelled," she said.
Mrs. Germaine is right to be upset. Her son is being forced to sit in a classroom and be indoctrinated by anti-Trump school teachers.
"We do our best to teach our boys to just ignore such comments but it is deeply frustrating for them, and us as well, because they have no choice but to sit there and listen to it," she said.
I want to applaud Mrs. Germaine for her courage to stand up and speak out.
In my new book, "The Deplorables' Guide to Making America Great Again," I issue a call to action for Americans to engage their local public school system.
Our public schools have been commandeered by far-left radicals -- and they are using American classrooms to radically change the culture. We must stand up to their dangerous agenda.
It's the only cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Why don’t they name the teacher? If shaming is good for conservatives why can’t we shame these despicable creatures on the left?
Betsy DeVos needs to start weeding out some of these so called “teachers”.
No hiring standards for morals, ethics, values, mental competency or judgement this is what you get.
The unions that foster these scum teachers need to be broken.
Talk of shooting Trump has reached the point where it casual cocktail conversation and the Secret Service needs to crack down HARD!
I lost a $1 bet on the same terms.
I figured that since I always lose such bets it was the way to go...
What she needs to do is get with “MD” Mattis and set up a program where DoD helps guys get degrees in education while on duty so they can transition into teaching roles.
They can become teachers across the country and shift the balance of power in the teaching community.
There are some teachers here in Michigan that were caught making some crude conversation about students recently at a bar.
Add that with the nutcase pronouncements like this story + the almost constant stories of teachers molesting students, and you almost have to think that all of the people that once rode around schools in white vans just decided it was easier to get teaching degrees.
You said it, and I hope they do.
Sounds like an Admission that this teacher might have been involved in a Conspiracy to Assassinate the President. Where is the Secret Service?? Has She been arrested?
Glad we left that state when we did. No place is perfect, but some places are better (more conservative) than others. We lived just a few miles from there.
I can’t imagine sending my child to the government
to have their soul murdered and their spirit poisoned.
Get rid of tenure and you will be able to get rid of teachers who are nothing but indoctrinators.
Name them. Dox them. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Thank you for your protection of the President. As an aside, I always warn the person behind me in the grocery store line that they should switch lines as my line always is the slowest. Somebody in front of me always has some problem. Finding their check book, counting out pennys to pay, arguing about outdated coupons, etc.
A fool and her money are soon parted.
I didn’t bet on that, but I considered betting a large sum on the election, betting that Trump would lose to Hitlery. I figured either way I would win. But unlike the media, I didn’t think the polls were accurate. I was pretty sure Trump would win. The only thing I was wrong about was that I thought he would win even bigger. (Or maybe I was right. We still haven’t gotten to the bottom of all the election fraud.)
Making money off of lefty fantasies is like taking candy from babies. I won a fifth each of Buffalo Trace and Basil Hayden in the election.
