Texas biology teacher on leave for bullying pro-Trump student
Quote:A high school biology teacher is on administrative leave after she allegedly mocked a student for supporting President Trump and calling others “a bunch of Trumpies” in Round Rock, Texas.

The incident occurred on the fifth day back from summer vacation, Aug. 22, at McNeil High School outside of Austin, according to district officials.

The bullied student's mother claims the public school teacher said: “By the way, I hate Donald Trump with a burning passion and he is a complete douchebag."

She told KHOU11 the instructor singled out her son for his conservative views and support for Trump’s tax plan, calling him “Trumpy” instead of his name and saying things including “Hey, Trumpy, do you have an answer to this?” or “What do you think, Trumpy?”

She said her son didn’t want to talk about politics in science class and felt embarrassed to be targeted.

At the end of the class, the mother said the teacher put one last insult against her son, mocking his beliefs: “Now, you’re not going to fight me when we start talking about evolution, are you?”

His parents filed a formal complaint against McNeil High School, which has 2,600 students.

District spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo told Fox News the teacher was immediately removed from the classroom after the district was made aware of the alleged incident, or “political discussion,” that occurred in the AP biology class.

"In Round Rock ISD, our goal is to create a classroom environment where students feel safe and respected,” LaCoste-Caputo said in a statement. “The teacher was removed from the classroom, pending review, and remains on administrative leave as appropriate action is considered."

The teacher has been assigned other duties that don’t have her interacting with students. She is still getting paid.

Oh please - that is an easy one...

It's all Trumps fault.

Oh yea, and he is a liar and colludes with Russians.

Just reading this, to me, it's glaringly obvious the teacher has some soft of mental issues.

Who in their right mind would think this is acceptable behavior at work? Much less, who would think this is an acceptable way to talk to children/teens?

This person hasn't been fired yet? Seriously?

Not only should he/she be fired but also be forced to undergo a mental examination.

I'm sure "duh teachers yoon-yun" has something to do with that.

Being a good leftist and insulting a Trump supporter will probably get this guy a badge of honor among his peers and yoon-yun "brothers".

Well they need to follow due process and make sure this is all as reported, but this is clearly unacceptable behavior for a teacher. The teacher should be fired.

Due process?

I thought that was thrown out the window with #metoo.

That is one of their tactics.

4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.

For reference...

http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm

Tactics

"Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. ... Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves." p.126

Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134):

  1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication.
  3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time...."
  8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
  10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign."
  11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative."
  12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...

    "...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?' When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'

    "One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other." (pps.127-134)

Make them live up to the rules, but make sure they really violated them. But this sort of bullying should get you fired under any set of rules.
