A Georgia teacher actually stated the truth on her personal Facebook page then was punished for it because it didn’t fit the left wing, racist narrative that ‘black lives matter’. Kelly Tucker, a teacher for 25 years, posted a statement regarding the events in Ferguson, as many people have done over the past several months.
From WFXL:
Tucker posted a statement on Facebook about the Ferguson unrest in early December that said:“It’s turned into a race matter. What about the thugs that beat the father in his vehicle because he didn’t slow down? What about the thugs that shot the college baseball player because they were bored? The list can go on and on. If the dude hadn’t stolen, he would be alive.I think signs should read, ‘Take the hood off your head and pull up your dang pants and quit impregnating everybody.’ I’m tired of paying for these sorry (expletive) thugs. I would much rather my hard earned money that the government takes go to people who need it, such as (abuse of) adults and children, not to mention the animals they beat and fight too. That’s all I’m saying,”as reported by the Tifton Gazette.BOE officials said the post included a picture of Ferguson protesters at a Christmas parade holding a sign that read “Black lives matter.”
Stacey Beckham said the post was later brought to the board’s attention by parents, community leaders and Tucker’s coworkers. One student was ultimately pulled out of Tucker’s class because of parent complaints.Afterwards Superintendent Patrick Atwater recommended Tucker be suspended without pay for 10 days because the post violated the school’s code of ethics. Tucker took the decision to the board.
Apparently it’s okay for teachers to teach their students the faux racism that ‘black lives matter’ more than ALL lives.
Apparently it’s okay to have students be part of protests during school time as have been done in some schools.
Apparently it’s okay to push the lies about Ferguson that the police officer wasn’t justified in his actions against a punk who was a criminal.
That’s all A-OKAY with schools, boards, parents and some in the community but it’s NOT okay for someone to actually tell the damn truth.
How about you give some diversity training to people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. While you’re at it, make Obama and Holder take the class as well. It’s high time people tell the truth without being punished or simply remain quiet or they will be targeted as racists.
I’m sorry, black lives don’t matter any more than White lives, Asian lives, Hispanic lives or any other lives in this country.
A thug is a thug is a thug. No matter what color that thug happens to be.
And if you think ‘thug’ only applies to blacks, you dear are the racist because you clearly don’t think highly of black people if you think they are the only ones committing crimes and acting like thugs.
People need to LEARN something from Ferguson.
They need to learn that there is a huge problem in the black community that is hurting young black men.
Mike Brown’s parents didn’t even bring him up, his Grandmother did. They were all about their ‘gentle giant’ when it looked like they’d get some money out of it though weren’t they?
This teacher simply told the truth.
It’s hard to hear and it’s absolutely horrific but it’s true about certain communities. They have been devastated by government policies that have destroyed the black family and the ‘chickens have come home to roost’.
