history teacher convinces 8th grader that Trump is still president & vaccinations are bad

Middle School Teacher Recorded Making Comments On Hunter Biden, Presidential Election And Vaccines In Classroom

-----------


Silikua’s told her son that if he was ever uncomfortable with what was being said to pull out his phone and start videotaping it, which is exactly what the eighth grader did when his history teacher went on a political rant in class.

“Hunter Biden, for example, is doing deals with China and Ukraine where he was funneling money illegally. He also had child pornography on his laptop. He was having sexual intercourse with his own niece,” the teacher was heard saying.

-----------------

The incident occurred two weeks ago at Anacapa Middle School. Silikula said she alerted the school immediately becuase her son came home very confused.

“And he got in the car and he was very upset. He announced, ‘I’m never getting vaccinated. I’m never getting anymore shots of any kind. Did you know Trump’s still president?'” Silikula said.

In the seven minute recording taken on Oct. 18, the teacher discusses vaccines.

“If you have a baby in the hospital, they don’t want to give it back if you’re not vaccinated. This is a complete power control threat,” the teach was heard saying.

…when she refers to the bullshit the teacher was spewing as “political opinion”.

It’s just straight-up crazy talk. It’s only political in that one of our two parties is infected with that memetic insanity.
