The problem is the cherry-picking of "sadness", "mourning", "outrage". What do all the murdered school children get? Any stadium-sized "celebrations" for them? What about that Democratic couple murdered in their home (along with their dog)? Don't they warrant as much attention? The problems go WAY deeper than this teacher -- who doesn't even use her real name on her posts, so who's going to the trouble to "out" her? I worry about my posts, too, but I'm only here once, and this nation I was born into and whose family fought in wars for is being dismantled from the inside out and too many Americans don't see it. The corrosion MAGA is causing may be irreparable and history will deal very badly with this Trump/MAGA era.
Hi Cary, it's possible to be sad about more than one thing. The teacher's posts show a lack of discretion, which is a quality teacher's should have.
If she was just posting political opinions that didn't advocate for murder, I don't think she would have faced any real consequences.
This teacher clearly doesn't know when and where it's appropriate to voice string political opinions. I can understand how parents might be concerned how this teacher would treat a student if she knew they or their parents were Republicans. And that's her fault and ultimately that plus advocating for murder have brought consequences down on her.
Not only did she lack the discretion to realize advocating for murder is bad, she didn't even have enough discretion to not post that opinion online.
How many did you hold for those children? That’s the issue. Don’t throw in people’s faces hypocrisy when you also meet that standard. A father was assassinated in front of thousands including his wife and children. A lot of local people were friends with him. They mourned the children, the were shocked with the president, they were sad with Rep Hortman - this took the cake for many because of who he was and its shock value. I’ll be waiting on you to organize that vigil for the Catholic children shot while praying.
His wife and children were not even in the state of Utah when the murder occurred. The instant glorification of a man who was propelled into “greatness” by millionaires money to spread disagreeable (I’m being nice with this term) ideology does not merit this Horst Wessel outpouring of national mourning. It’s all performative to make him a martyr. If the young man in custody actually was the shooter, the bizarre claims that the gun-loving, conservative Mormon guy just don’t scream ‘leftist.’

She was posting under a pseudonym. Someone who outed her helped stir up outrage against her.
Freedom of speech is for all.

Huh? I’m supposed to fill a stadium with MY pain, disgust, and anger? Get a grip.
That’s what you just asked for. You asked why. So get a grip.
Wow, that's so deep. And logical! Like I said, get a grip.
My grandchildren go to a great public school with dedicated teachers who do a great job. But, let the assault on public education continue.
