Even Though I Am An Ardent Free Speech Guy...

[TennesseeWaltz1]

You just can't say things this inflammatory...especially if you are an educator...Facebook has caused so many problems...but not nearly as much as stupidity has.

I don't think it was particularly inflammatory, but if I had a kid in her class I would definitely want my kid moved to another class. Those aren't the values or the behavior I want teachers to reflect.

You Sapiens are so stupid! Inventing something where your real name and other information is available to anyone, just like you rented a billboard, and then you say things that get you fired for being idiots.

I don't know how you ever beat us.

I'm outspoken but would have never said that. The principal in Florida was treated unjustly but he didn't lose his job. Many school systems have it in their contracts that they can terminate an employee for remarks made on Facebook of a "questionable" nature. There is a fine line between what is free speech and what can be considered damaging for the system.

What if your kids teacher spouted off about the police brutality?

Obviously I'd be OK with that. Assuming we're talking about the video I've seen with my own eyes.

That is the most racist rant I have seen end in #imnotracist

I would prefer teachers stick to teaching and not comment on specific You Tube videos. You see only a small part usually and only what the person wants you to see.

I read an article about the police in the small city my wife went to high school in. The officer made an arrest and somebody filmed a 5 minute part of it and even thou the officer did nothing wrong on the You Tube video, the arrest became physical when the guy made contact with the officer. The You Tube video made it look like the officer just threw the guy down and people were all over the police brutality angle.

What people did not see is that the whole situation lasted about 30 minutes and the whole thing was caught first on the officer's car camera, then on his body camera, then on his taser camera (drawn but not used), and finally ended back with his car camera.

If you just had the You Tube video then it would look good or bad depending on your POV. When viewed in its entirety it was a good arrest. Not trying to defend what you can see on the video from Dallas just pointing out that it may not always be as it seems.

Bill Ayers and his wife are Prof.s So I guess it's okay to murder people, just not tell the truth on Facebook.

Did she think the "blacks" didn't live in the gated community?

Wasn't the girl next to the girl-thrown-down who had the second video a resident?

From what I've read, many were residents.

What a strange rant to go on, but I love the Im notreacist Hashtag.

 

[theIowaHawk]

I should clarify, I like that she posted this.

Unfortunate it took 16 years to find out how she felt.

Standards are different when dealing with school children even though I agree with your comment.

Or keep your opinions private. I have a Facebook account and the only reason for it is to keep up with former students, players and other friends.

I have seen the video a few times. The cop resigned. That should be the end of it. I promise, I know those kids were on his butt from the get-go. However, he was the ADULT on the scene and had to act that part....even before being a cop.
Those kids are not "innocent" by and means. Parents who think they were are aren't thinking with their heads. The cop screwed up when 1) he pulled his weapon from its holster, and 2) when he slammed that girl to the ground.
The kids screwed up when they 1) acted like fools and had to have the cops called, 2) when they refused to obey a police command and 3) when a couple of them "interfered" with a policeman doing his duty.
Both sides were dead-assed wrong here. Unfortunately, it cannot be undone. The cop should NEVER had pulled his gun.......policemen are trained better than that.
This is now a social media event and not a legal issue any more.

A new level of stupidity has been reached on HROT.
