6. Math Teacher Exposed As Reichwing Freeper Retard Teabagger |
|
Maybe this wise ass math teacher thinks he's a commedian or that by using such an inappropriate and outrageous example to solve a geometry problem with his students somehow is motivating and inspirational and that students will better learn. Give me a basic break! This type of trash talk is standard fare in that flyover state of Alabama. It was a racist remark and there was a smartass message beyond geometry in it. The superintendent is correct in expressing his anger at such stupidity and I applaud the superintendent. I am not amused by the teachers actions and I am not satisfied that interviewing the teacher is enough to determine he is not a threat to the President of the United States. His Facebook page should be examined, his association with the NRA should also be examined. His voter registration card should also be examined to see if he is in fact a Rightwing Republi'con' loon, and the newspapers should be canvassed to see if his face shows up holding up signs at any Teabagging debacles! Maybe he should be sent down to the middle school and he can confine himself to teaching simple math like addition, division and multiplication and stay away from geometry because it makes him crazy and can only analyze angles in relation to doing a headshot of a public official. I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut the SOB is a friggin' Republicon!

21. Too bad if he gets fired. He was getting ready to teach the kids guzintas. |
|
You know, 2 guzinta 4 two times. 3 guzinta 9 three times. 10 guzinta 100 ten times.
(Thank you Jethro Bodine.)
As for that blonde's comment, I wish they would have played her entire statement. She was probably getting ready to say, "Now excuse me. I have to go to the cleaners to pick up my hood and sheet."

7. We have teachers being fired all over the country |

He does not deserve the privilege of a job. Fire him and replace him with a teacher who was laid off somewhere else.

15. Coca-Cola is HQ'd in Atlanta |
|
Many Public Schools around the country have corporate sponsors. Pepsi is fairly visible in NW Indiana They provide the scoreboards for football and basketball
Chances are Coke paid for the sign at the school

in Alabama were sponsored by either Coke or Pepsi. It looks like they are "giving back" but really just securing customers.

17. Why so much hate towards alabama people? |
|
I find it very sad to see so many on this board showing so much hate towards alabama. There are alot of good people here who arent crazy. We just happen to be the minority right now. (like many states) And everytime you degrade and judge the entire state you throw all of us in it.
some of you guys ridicule the woman in the video for stating there are bigger problems in our school systems (like real violence, crowding, low grade averages, and tons more problems) than a teacher making a jackass choice as a mathmatical example. You automatically steroeotype the woman and you know NOTHING about her. She could be a fellow democrat for all you know just stating the obvious, that we have much bigger problems in our school system (u know like, education for children).
But you simply cannot pass up a chance to stereotype all people from alabama can you? Some of us from alabama are fighting the good fight. And we are having a hard time against some of these crazy conservatives, But you seriously underestimate how many good people there are in alabama and how much work we do to help the same causes you do.
Try to contain some of that hate will you? It doesn't help the cause.

19. Abe should have allowed them to secede. |
|
And stood back and watched when the Blacks revolt against their slave masters. Believing in the right to bare arms, we should have given them guns and plenty of ammunition to even up the score.

23. I don't think there is anything innocent about this teacher's use of Obama. |
|
The teacher has extraordinarily poor judgment and should be fired.
