It’s as of we were living under the Stasi, KGB, Iranian mullahs or the Nazis. How did America let it go so far?
Teacher Scolds 10-Year-Old for Saying He Admires Trump
Dr. Susan Berry, Breitbart News, 5 Oct 2020:
A teacher in a Tacoma middle school kicked a ten-year-old student out of his remote learning chatroom and scolded him for responding to a question about a person he admires with the answer “Donald J. Trump.”
Story continues below advertisementAccording to a report by KTTH afternoon host Jason Rantz at mynorthwest.com, Brendan Stanton, a teacher at P.G. Keithley Middle school, poses a “question of the day” each day to his sixth grade students. On Friday, he asked them, “Who is the one person you admire and why?”
https://www.facebook.com/JasonRantzShow/posts/3524127140980589
Students could write their responses in the online chatroom. A screenshot in Rantz’s story shows Elsy Kusander’s son wrote:
I admire Donald J. Trump because he is making America great again. And because he is the best president the United States of America could ever, ever have. And he built the wall so terrorists couldn’t come into in the U.S. Trump is the best person in the world. And that’s why I admire him.
The report notes Stanton “almost immediately kicked the student out of the chatroom, deleted the chat, and proceeded to attack the president, while calling out the student for mentioning him.”
When the student called for his mother, Kusander heard Stanton berating the president and began filming the comments on her cell phone.
“The example that was shared in the chat, which I went ahead and erased for us, was not appropriate right?” Stanton said to his students. “Especially as that individual has created so much division and hatred between people and specifically spoken hatred to many different individuals, OK?”
The report notes Stanton would not even use the president’s name during his rant, referring to him as “that individual.”
“Again, that individual has spoken hate to many individuals and I don’t think is an appropriate example for a role model that we should be admiring,” the teacher continued.
According to Rantz’s report of the incident, Stanton usually records and posts digital classes to an online portal for students and parents. He did not, however, record this particular one, citing student privacy, and was not aware Kusander had recorded some of it.

“How did America let it get so far?”
Power seeking is just a natural progression for tyrants. They seek to grab all the power and money, and subjugate the citizenry, to prevent insurrection. And the more power they get, the more money they will grab, and the more subjugation they will do. They only stop when someone stops them.
Rule # 9: Tyrants will always seek to grab power
Rule # 28: If you let people break the law, then they will.

Exactly, any weakness in the citizenry is an opportunity for the tyrant to grab more power. Since they are highly dominant, testosterone loaded, and psychopathic, they never stop wanting to dominate. Erdogan is a good example, where he hungers for local power, and tries to grab foreign power too. That’s why tyrants make war a lot.

“Islamists”? Where do you find one of those? Is there a scorecard somewhere that will help me determine an “Islamist” from a f’ing muslum? Do “islamists” start out as muslums? Or vice-versa? Why can’t I apply your same morally repugnant and dishonest neologism to nazism?

This teacher needs to be disciplined for his scolding the student and kicking the 10 year old out of class. This teacher was way out of line. This event shows the tremendous amount of hatred and disrespect so many people have for President Donald Trump, especially those of the Democrat Party. This also shows how schools are trying to indoctrinate young students to a leftist, socialist, communist world view and trying to indoctrinate hatred of the United States of America. This is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in public schools in the United States of America.

“The hatred and disrespect so many people have for President Donald Trump”, especially those of the Progessive Socialist Party is thus revealed as one of Trumps special abilities…
*He makes people, who are in the shadows, reveal themselves and stand in the open, where we can clearly see them. He is the first president in my lifetime, who has exhibited this ability.
*Brash and abrasive as he might seem to people, who are worn down and innured to the Progressive onslaught in their once taken-for-granted free country, he stands with freedom and he stands with me…

There was one in California that was one of the worst I have ever read about beyond physical sexual abuse. He had been teaching in the unified CA. school district and been with them since around the 1980’s..Ny now, it was mostly a Hispanic school. Girls were suspicious. Something wasn’t right. Some complained to the principal but couldn’t prove what was wrong. Finally he got caught a year so ago. What he was doing was blindfolding kids and having them do a “taste test” …. after spending some time with porn, he offered up some samples….. He was doing this for DECADES! He was a white guy literally getting off on this.

Scott said Berndt, a 30-year teacher, portrayed the bondage and spoon as part of a game that he played regularly in his classroom.
“This occurred in his regular classroom with his students,” Scott said. “It wasn’t done in secrecy. The only secret was what the game was really about.”
“Based on what we found, it was done for sexual gratification,” he continued. “The semen and the bondage was a sexual experience for him, and that is why it is a lewd act.”
Berndt’s arrest culminated a yearlong investigation by the L.A. County sheriff’s special victims unit. The 23 alleged victims are both boys and girls and ranged in age from 7 to 10.
(There were a lot more victims than that… over the 30 year time frame…)
He also fed them cockroaches

You’d think public school teachers would welcome cameras on them (them- not the kids) at ALL times to legally verify that they are not up to no good. Except, no, they don’t. strangely enough.

Here’s the POS I refer to – a teacher in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, Mark Berndt.
He was a “friendly” teacher and often invited to parties by the kids. He also gave it to male students too…
Accused teacher blindfolded kids for ‘tasting’ test, source says
JANUARY 31, 2012 | 3:10 PM
…
The “game” conceived by Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt, 61, was a tasting test during which he kept the children blindfolded, sources familiar with the investigation said.
Berndt is accused of committing lewd acts on at least 23 children, including blindfolding them and spoon-feeding them a white substance that authorities say was the teacher’s semen.
Children told investigators that they were being enlisted in a tasting game, according to a district source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak. They were supposed to say whether the substance was sweet or salty and whether they liked the taste. The blindfolds were necessary, Berndt allegedly said, “because he was going to put on bright lights to take the pictures and he didn’t want to hurt their eyes.”
…
The alleged victims, photographed one at a time, apparently included his current and former students and possibly some he’d never taught. Berndt allegedly put the substance around the mouth of a child and asked the child to lick it off his or her lips.
“The students shared that they didn’t like the taste of it,” in the case of the liquid they described as salty, said the district insider.
…

In prison he might be subjected to a similar taste test but without a blindfold and without a spoon.
Remember, sex offenders of children don’t do well in prison. One can only hope.

So, the communist teacher asks the class to share who they admire and when one of them responds in a way HE doesn’t like, the student is shamed and kicked out of class? Really? So, what’s next. Does the young student get his “papers” and then sent off to a re-education camp for sixth graders? This is sick! That parent should sue the teacher, the school, the district, the school board and the state for allowing a piece of garbage to not only teach but, for treating anyone like that.

Freedom of speech doesn’t exist in the rotten, corrupt, public schools or institutions of “higher learning” in the USA — not anymore. They’re echo chambers of lies and half truths — particularly about islum, but also about Communism. And the deliberate concealment of the truth about islum and Communism has been going on for decades.

That teacher should be fired on the spot.
NO LEAVE OF ABSENCE with a slap on the wrist or shifted to another school district.
There are tons of teachers out there like that.
They are taught to hate Christians, conservatives, Republicans, doubt about being a heterosexual, hate their country and of late taught to specifically hate Trump.

These kinds of lefties cannot be educated with violence. IT WILL MAKE THEM HATE EVEN MORE. SUSPEND HIM AND RE-EDUCATE HIM WITH FACTS AND TRUTH. If he still refuses to accept the truth, sue him and/or ban them from teaching children.
Conservatives do not play the same games as lefties. We fight with the truth and facts and when we are attacked physically, WE SHOOT THEM, but they have to attempt to attack us physically. I sometimes have this desire to put all liars and deceivers where they belong, but I NEVER REALLY RELISH THE THOUGHT OF SENDING A SOUL TO HELL. That is NOTHING to be joyous about because ALL SOULS DO MATTER. Some people need to be RE-EDUCATED with truth and if they refuse to understand THAT OPPORTUNITY, then banish them and/or sue them.

OVERKILL FOR THE TEACHER. You cannot TEACH ANY LIBERAL anything THROUGH ASSAULT AND ATTACK. You only use THAT for physical/violent self-defense. You teach lefties with the TRUTH and our laws. THEN, WHEN THEY STILL REFUSE TO LEARN THE TRUTH, BANISH THEM FROM SPREADING THEIR LIES TO OTHERS (in this case, other children).

So, will Brendan Stanton, a teacher at P.G. Keithley Middle school, be disciplined by being kicked out of school by the board of regents? Probably not since Washington State expects their teachers to indoctrinate their students with marxist-socialist-communist-globalist-elitist doctrine. They do not allow logic and reason nor Christianity nor individual thought. All students are require to think and talk and speak exactly like everyone else.

The problem is these Teachers are LOOKING for the answer they want, not what the student BELIEVES and that is FASCISM at its finest. NO, the Teacher should be suspended for taking away the Student’s civil rights to education, but if you take away his Teacher’s Certificate, he would learn nothing.

A guy Ive known for a while just screamed at me on the phone called me an asshole and an idiot, then he hung up, all I said was that Trump saved thousands of lives by halting flights from China, and that China ONLY halted flights within China but their International flights could fly anywhere, that was when this guy lost it, screaming at me, and then hung up. Those “Of The Left” are showing their lack of compassion and intolerance.
