Teacher calls Tea Party President a Nazi

Tempers flared during a town hall meeting on the Dream Act Tuesday night. During the meeting a high school government teacher from John F. Kennedy called the local Tea Party president a Nazi. Remember the good old days when teachers actually had to know stuff? Like say how you couldn’t be a Nazi unless you were a national socialist.

  • Oh, and just in passing , this occurred about 5-6 miles from my home. Edgewood School discrict (where Kennedy High school is located) is on the deep West side of San Antonio, and is a predominately Hispanic, very low income area. In the past, this school district has sued the state claiming the public school finding was inadequate for their students. The process of funding was changed, but they still have a very high drop out rate, premarital pregnancy rate, and gang problems in the area. While there is certainly crime all over San Antonio, this area has a significant chunk of crime including thefts (and robbery, and burglary and all the permutations therof) drugs, gang activity, assaults, drive by shootings, domestic violence, etc. A great many of this man's students probably ARE illegals, hence his support.

  • Looking at the shots of the schoolhouse in the video, it seems they could use a gardener. Maybe this "teacher" would be better qualified for that job.

  • ....."He is a wimpy liberal performing for his students in attendance at the meeting, he wants them to like him, to be his friend, frikin squirrel."

    I'd have to agree with ya there - this guy is a teacher and actually does not know what a Nazi is? I thought that at first, but then I figgured he's just panderin to his (audience)students - my God, though - what is goin on in these classrooms nowadays?

    • You see the look on his face after he said nazi? He didn't even believe the BS that fell out of his mouth. He came cocked and locked to call a bunch of white guys racists. Uh oh, what are them mexican fellas doin up there? Final fallback, call em nazis. His pre-conceived stereotype of a Tea Party member failed him.

        • Know what your sayin drb - colleges are just as bad and it's unfortunate-my boy decided to get into a trade - carpentry - goin to a technical up in Cincinnati - even so, right now they are on strike, go figure. Anyway, he goes to school 5 weeks and then works in the trade 5 weeks- no of that liberal bs happenin like at the Universities. Maybe he'll do right by it, maybe not - but at least he's doing something with himself.

  • I finally watched the video, that so called "teacher" is a frikin wimp, you notice the tentative behavior, he almost whispered the nazi remark. He is a wimpy liberal performing for his students in attendance at the meeting, he wants them to like him, to be his friend, frikin squirrel.

    • It's the interwebz. She can be anything she wants to be, even a nurse. Or a woman for that matter.... probably just a unemployed 22 year old dude with 17.5 credits at some junior college before flunking out. Media Matters pays him eleventy nine dollars a month to cut and paste drivel for them on right wing sites.
      I could be wrong. She might really be the hateful cun* that she says she is......

      • LOL There's that eleventy dollar bill again!

        Whatever Olivia is....I think we could all agree on thing: FOOL

  • Sad thing is this d-nozzle probably moved to Tejas from his liberal home state because he couldn't find a job. Come on down, we're hiring! Keep your racist ideas and liberal BS to yourself though. You will get called on it in Texas.

  • I think a BIG point has been overlooked here. Notice who was in favor of deporting illegals? Hispanic people. Fighting against deportation? White boy. He couldn't call them racist could he? Nazi was the best he could do. Suprisingly a lot of hispanics feel this way and general consensus is that they don't.

  • I've had the pleasure of dealing with some of the graduates of schools who have teachers like this bozo. Can barley read, almost no math skills, unable to even balance a checkbook. No wonder all the high-tech jobs are going overseas.

  • ....."A lot of kids graduating from public schools are not qualified to go to college and do well. I’ve seen public school graduates that don’t know jack and can barely read and write much less do basic math."

    A way back - sometime in the mid 90's I recon, our incomin freshman class was having a real hard time staying on top of the acedemics. Our Department Head decided to have a meeting with all us teachers to come up with a "strategy" to deal with this.

    One of my fellow teachers made a statement: "Our High Schools today are certainly doing a fine job of preparing our kids to work at McDonalds." I'll never forget that statement cause it was dead on the mark - the strategy our dumbassed department head came up with? Use a curve for grading - nothing about putting those kids in remedial courses, nothing about preparing them - just use a curve, that way everybody passes and the problem is solved.

    So, it ain't just occurring in High Schools - one more reason I turned-in my teachers card

    • Use a curve for grading

      Not just in High School but in College too. I had been called in for a conference with the instructor more than once for "throwing off the curve". I was shocked that one actually said to me, "You are at a much higher level of understanding than the rest in your class. I have to ask you to slack off a bit and not try to do your best."

        • He left the following year...training dogs for shows now. I wish him the best. Sorry for the accidental TD there.

        • Being Pithy as I usually am, I smiled and said, "You don't tell me to dial it down, you tell them to bring it up a notch". Then gathered up my things and walked out. Discussion over.

          • Way to go, drb.

            Way back in elementary school, I was labeled "gifted." They wanted to put me ahead a year. Wisely, my mother put a stop to that. They put me in special classes in Junior High. Then in High School, they tried to get me involved in their "gifted" programs. The things they offered didn't really interest me.

            For some strange reason, I wasn't interested in a field trip to the opera, or to a law firm. I was more interested in technical things, like the architecture classes they kept dragging me out of in an attempt to push me in the "right" direction.

            Since I didn't agree with them about which was the "right" direction for my education, I was then considered a problem child. My teachers, I had respect for. The school administration, and the psychologists they sent out to figure out what was wrong with me, not so much.

          • Seems like the members of the "educational" system where not quite sure what to do with me either. Some argued that I was "retarded" and "needed to go to a "special" school, while others argued that I was "gifted". Still, no one seemed to know exactly how to teach me, so I just found a way to teach myself. Back then few understood dyslexia and how to help people with it. I can't tell you how many IQ tests I took back then before they finally admitted that because of the dyslexia, they would never achieve an accurate result, most likely scoring lower than it really is. (I can't answer a question if I don't understand what's being asked and these tests are timed so I can't walk away and come back to it later.) At any rate, I got a different score every time. And no, I won't reveal the range of scores, because I don't think it has any real meaning.

          • I remember doin special ed classes while workin on my teachers certificate - they had all these tests and these grand ideas on how to deal with this stuff - but never once did they ever mention the kids - never once did I see anybody come with any ideas that actually involved talkin to the kids that were strugglin and get their input on how it was they either registered information or correlated material in their own minds - i got shot down every time I brought this up, people sayin to me these kids is messed up, how they goin to be able to tell you anything, why they just wanna play around and not take nothin serious....

            sorry y'all but maybe ya can begin to tell why I got out of that business...

          • Yup, I believe so. I believe Mrs. Editor is still trying to help these kids as best she can. I do appreciate her efforts with autistic kids.

          • Maybe I should have hung in there ma'am, and sometimes I'm sorry I didn't - but I was alone - I had absolutely no one on my side- no one to back me up - everybody just went along with the game plan - there just was nothin I could do

          • I know I keep going - I'll never ever forget hearin that little boy cryin out "all I wanted was a drink of water sir"

          • One time, at this day treatment program I was doin teachers aide time - this dude smacked a styrofoam cup out of this boys hand and then proceeded to put him on the floor....there was nothin I could do.

          • Good for you drb! It's obvious from your posts here that you are above that curve! Thank God y'all didn't allow that weasel to control you!

          • P.S. I flunked them kids that weren't makin it in my class - took a whole bunch of flack and get this, back to jethro jokes - that Department Head called me in his office and told me I was not to be goin' rouge on him - that I was nothin but a country boy with no clue as to the "dynamics" of education.

            Never did use that curve, no ma'am I never did.

            Never invited to one of his parties again!
