Tucker Carlson calls on men to storm into schools "and thrash the teacher":l



Text
When threats or even violence are directed at teachers, people will say you can’t hold people like Tucker responsible for it. But what else is the point of this type of language?

Is that vague enough to avoid legal repercussions if someone actually does it?

Does Tucker have lawyers vet his violent incitements before he spews them in public to make sure they get right up to the legal line yet not quite over?

And I would not be open handed slapping. Teachers should be allowed to shoot unidentified men storming schools. I had no idea exactly how vile Hannity was against our President until I saw Jimmy Kimmel play his crap last week with that hypocrisy vidioe of him ranting followed by trump doing what he was ranting. Fix needs burned to the ground and Murdocks kicked the hell out of this country. I can not stomach a second of Fox. Makes me sick I have to have the number of that station on my screen. Let’s not forget, Tucker supports those Russians video taping themself raping kids. But all the howling lies about Judge Brown Jackson was loud.

This would never happen but imagine Anderson Cooper advocating this kind of violence. Tucker is playing with matches for sh*ts and giggles. He’s insanely malevolent now — completely irrational.

He can come to my classroom and try to thrash me. He might get more than he bargained for. I might be old but I’m more than capable of heating up a cheap TV dinner son of boss like him.

you, as a teacher, explain how outside adults can't just enter classrooms anytime they want; that they have to first go to the main office to identify themselves and what their business is. Any Assistant Principal can stop them from getting past the office by having school security escort them out the door. Security also stand at school entrances to "help" people find the main office and state their business.

Finally, you'd say this because it is every school principal's first and last duty to keep ALL personnel and children SAFE, and so the above procedures are followed across the U.S.

I realize we're pissed at the provocation, but everyone should know Carlson makes ignorant and malicious provocations to the ignorant and fearful for ratings. He's the Scrappy-Do of TV.

But the public should learn about American education and how teachers have been political footballs since public schools were founded, which is why teachers' professional unions, education laws, and security procedures exist.

is he'll find some liberal college for teachers and point to some obscure passage in a book in their library
nobody has ever read or checked out and shout "this proves they're educationing teachers on the finer
points of talking all children into changing the sex Mother Nature gave them" & magaloons will eat it up.
I see it coming.
