The bullies want to fire a teacher who called Kirk a Nazi. [View all]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/oskaloosa-school-board-vote-firing-102423715.html

The Oskaloosa school board will soon vote on its superintendent's recommendation to fire a teacher accused of making a controversial social media post about conservative activist Charlie Kirk after he was fatally shot during a Utah event.


But wait! there's more! The fascists in Iowa are scouring the posts, opinions of other teachers. (2 so far.)

Then another:
An Iowa State University financial aid employee's insensitive social media post has ignited similar controversy as Republican state lawmakers call on the board governing Iowa's public universities to immediately fire university employees who have publicly celebrated Kirk's assassination.


This is madness. All over some white male podcaster who got shot by another white male far right douche bag. I was only vaguely aware of who these people were, Steven Crowder types. Bloviating bigots. Now, the theatrical spectacle making a martyr out of a complete fucking asshole.

And the convicted felon and Jan. 6 rioters, what about all those crimes. I just can't with these nazis

PS: Kirk's wife is / was a honey pot.
