Teacher allegedly tells class VP Mike Pence should be ‘shot in the head’

A high school teacher in Union County, North Carolina is in hot water after allegedly telling a class that Vice President Mike Pence should “be shot in the head.”

Information about the Cuthbertson High School teacher’s remarks has been referred to the Secret Service, the Union County Sheriff’s Office said.

According to FOX-46, the comments reportedly were made in reference to the veep’s trip to the state in support of recently elected US Representative Dan Bishop.

Cuthbertson parent Firas Obeid, who’s “not necessarily” a Pence supporter, said it was “ridiculous” to make such a statement about the second-highest ranking official in the country.

“Affiliation to a specific party does not entitle us to make statement like that to anyone,” Obeid said.

Union County GOP Chair Allison Powers said “To just wish that kind of violence on anybody is just way out of bounds,” but added she wouldn’t go “as far as asking for the teacher to be fired.” She said she trusts the school board to take the “appropriate action.”

In a statement, the school district said “Union County Public Schools is aware of the allegation of inappropriate comments made by a Cuthbertson High School teacher. District administrators are taking this allegation seriously and an investigation is being conducted. This is a personnel matter and information related to this alleged incident is protected by state law.”

That teacher should be fired and locked up, immediately.

The school board is probably cheering him on. To not take a stand is just capitulation.

That statement is racist because the teacher never said it about Obama.

No red flag law will ever be used against a leftist threatening violence.

Oh, so now it's a personal matter which is protected by law. If the teacher had said that about Biden, she'd have been fired on the spot, had her license yanked and the feds would be no knocking her door.

This is why the left wants to take away our guns, so jackasses like this can kill us without batting an eye..imagine if she had said the same thing about Joe Biden, or Obama, she would be in prison right now, but since its about Vice President mike Pence nothing will happen to her

IMHO, 90% chance there will be no real repercussions for the school propagandist who said this...

Now, what would happen if a student had said obunghole should be shot in the head?

Has everyone lost their damn mind? Really lady, you won't call for this broad to get fired, and take a "hope for the best" position that somebody else maybe, hopefully, gee I hope so, will take "appropriate action". Well what exactly do you think "appropriate action" would look like? Other than firing?

Schools in particular have taken a "no tolerance" position with respect to any sort of implied violence in recent years. This is intolerable for a faculty member to suggest something like this on or off duty. Now is not the time to get wobbly.

That’s just standard boilerplate bullshit. Public employees are paid through taxes, and taxpayers have every right to know every bit of it. “Personnel matter” is a red herring. Don’t be fooled.

The US Secret Service needs to start locking these people up and making examples of them.

At least the teacher didn’t gnaw a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

All public school teachers need to be mentally/emotionally evaluated monthly!
Plus criminal background checks!

How do you know the teacher is a male?
