Thats probably more because of a heavy drinking culture. Go into any small town upwards and there will be multiple fights every fri/sat night. Hey, maybe thats because they know theyre unlikely to get shot!

They obviously were involved in her life, hence the RR shirt. Lets put blame where it really belongs. Stupid teacher.

all the more reason to take federal goverment out of state ran schools and make all schools private.

It was discussed in a previous thread.

Do a google.


2034 per 100,000 in Britain, compared to 466 per capita USA.
Robberies, burglaries and rape, are almost accepted in Britain, if you look at the stats.

Something is said for fear of being shot to death.


But then again, 9 times more kids are killed by medical malpractice, than kids that die by guns.
Another thread, here.

You need to make up your mind.

She wasn't teaching. She was campaigning for 0boy. Why should she win?

I hope she loses and never teaches or holds any job again. She deserves to pay for her stupidity.

Yes, that's fair, she shpuld pay for the rest of her life. Nice.

On the other hand other teachers and schools are supposed to get a free pass if they teach creationism and there are prayers before football games?

There are plenty of over the top actions on the extreme left AND right.

Teaching and being intolerant of others views are two different thing. The teacher deserves to be fired

OK, when you referenced the teacher then said you hope she wins in the next sentence, same paragraph, I misunderstood what you were saying. Thank you for clarifying.
