A high school counselor in Connecticut was arrested for threatening to go on a killing spree to “execute every white man he gets his hands on,” police in Bridgeport said.

Carl Lemon, a 63-year-old in-school suspension counselor at Warren Harding High School, was arrested Wednesday on charges of second-degree threat and breach of the peace.

A five-page police report says Lemon threatened to kill white people, stomped on an American flag and had a kitchen knife in his desk drawer at school.

The red coastal states are forming a neo-Confederacy.  As Governor Moonbeam Brown channels Jeff Davis,  I hope old Jeff reminds him it didn't end well. 

Freudian slip?

Why would it be a Freudian slip.??

It's not.. it's a fact. The Republican states are trying to form a new Confederacy.

And this is a counselor,?? where 18 year old white men are in school.

A good time to revisit the war of 1860, pick a side and let's have
another round are two.

1.  Arming teachers is a bad idea.

2. Why?

Worked well in Israel. Are US teachers inferior to those in Israel?

As soon as Republicans conscript every adult for 2 years of mandatory military service, create a national gun registry, regulate the # of guns a person can own, regulate the sale of all guns, personal and retail, regulate/restrict the sale of ammunition .... in other words, match the gun laws of Israel, we can talk about arming US teachers just like Israel. How's that?

The Legislators in Oklahoma are hiding behind armed guards from the very teachers they wanted to give guns. Kinda makes you wonder what Republicans are actually using their head for, besides a hat rack.

You tell me. Why bring up Israel?  Canada says hello

Terrorists used to target soft targets like kindergartens and grammar schools in Israel.  Their teachers were issued arms and trained. After a few dead terrorists, they stopped attacking such.  After Israel built the wall, 90 percent of all attacks ceased.

So Israel is the only country  to compare the US to?  There is plenty of other developed nations that don't have to arm teachers.

Again, your deflection shield is on.  Israel is a nation with a history of shooters entering schools and killing, which was resolved by arming the teachers.  One doesn't treat a spat of flu by fastening safety belts.

Israel also has a whole lot of other gun laws that Republicans seem to completely ignore. How about a dose of truth or facts to go with your support of pure ignorance.

and again, Oklahoma Legislators are hiding behind armed guards from the very teachers they wanted to give guns. More Republican irony to come.

"Police said a teacher alerted officials after he heard Lemon say “he couldn’t wait for the Panthers to give the OK and a revolution begins, because he will execute every white man he gets his hands on.” The teacher told officials Lemon had made similar statements in the past".

Arming teachers is a very generalized statement, ain't gonna
happen except for several at the most.
 
Israel can arm their teachers because they can handle it, being
more intelligent, mature, trained and know the importance of it.
Did I mention not stupid.

I suggest researching the Texas School Marshals project in existence since 2013. The teachers and other staff are well trained.  How many and who carries is kept secret.

Public school curriculum mostly follows the progressive line, now.  The questions the left should be asking are what they did to so screw up students they commit these crimes.  Progressivism - a cancer of the soul.

Why do Republicans, especially in Alabama, keep pulling funds from Public Education and denying teachers raises year after year after year? The same Republicans who whine about 'Public Education has failed us'... are the same Republicans who are willing to pay thousands of dollars for private education, for their kids.

Republicans: We need to do away with public education. It cost too much.

also Republicans: I'd pay $10,000 a year for my child to go to a Christian School.

On a side note, why do Republicans insist on having the 10 Commandments around but not the Beatitudes? Why ignore the words straight out of Jesus' mouth, but embrace the Old Testament?

Wabbit money isn't the challenge of education in Alabama. Unions and the govt. are the challenge. Throwing money at a challenge doesn't make things better.   I complained about a teacher and was told the truth, they tried to fire him but the union won and they can't touch him.  Unions are about money in their pocket not the education of children.  The govt. hasn't run any thing efficient.  

have you ever figured how many hours teachers work?   after all their holidays, vacation, sick days etc. they avg. 20 to 25 hours a week.  This would be considered part time in the private sector.  Yet they have some of the best benefits.   Yes there are some that do more,,, however they are the exception not the norm.   I used one example of a bad teacher.  Sadly I could have quoted many more.

Lets compare the facts to your statement. Teachers go to work by 7:30am and get off around 3:30pm, Monday thru Friday. That would be 5 days at 8 hours a day. Republican math makes that 20-25 hours. That statement alone lost you any credibility you may have had. Local schools are begging for supplies throughout the school year. I wonder how much of their time is spent teaching vs searching for the tools they need to educate? The only way to make more Republicans is to keep the masses uneducated.

So, money, or lack thereof, is the reason for school shootings?  If so, why weren't there such during the Depression, when funds were extremely tight and firearms easy to obtain?

US wide, more funds are expended on education, per capita, than any other nation in the world.  Therefore, the funds argument can't be applied statewide.  I reviewed stats on Alabama for education.  True, for the last few years, funds have been flat lined.  I also noted that the teacher to student ratio is about 1:15.  I'm unsure what the actual classroom ratio is, but when I attended school it was about 1:25 to 1:31, or so.

Who made that claim and where did it come from? Alabama Republicans are denying the children of Alabama the chance to compete with kids from other states. Just keep on worrying about German and Israel. That'll help the kids of Alabama reach comparable levels.

Wabbit,, there you go with the left like arguments, leave out much of the details... you for got  Fall break,  spring break, thanksgiving, Christmas,  Easter, Summer, Labor day, Memorial day, Martin L King day, and more...   school days x 8 hours  divide by 50 weeks (most private sector gets 1-2 weeks vaca).

Well, their paycheck is averaged and payed year round. They aren't paid for the months they're off without the averaged paycheck. They do get paid  Holidays , but most people, who work a State or Federal job, do get paid Holidays.

So, there you go being a good Republicans and trying to make a decision for the 'good of all' without the facts needed to make said decision. This isn't a 'D/R' argument. This is an argument for the kids who aren't getting a chance to even compete for the job.

the point is they don't work but parttime.  However since you switched to the kids i will agree with you.  It should be about the kids. However pay isn't the reason Alabama is  in the bottom of education.   Not getting rid of the dead weight (bad teachers) is.  Unions equal everyone the same good or bad.  Unions are about their pockets not kids.

So, according to you, if the teachers don't have the necessary supplies or books to teach the kids what they need to learn, the teacher is bad. Under funding the schools and then blaming the teachers, that's the Republican way. Under fund whatever they don't like, then scream about how 'it's not working'. I've watched the Republicans do this too many times. Why are Republicans willing to spend THOUSANDS to send their kid to a private school, but unwilling to fund public education to the same amounts?  If money isn't the issue in education, why spend the thousands for a private education?

being a good teacher has nothing to do with pretty buliten boards.  Why is private schools better?  Main reason is they get rid of bad teachers and are about education.  Public schools keep the bad teachers and are about unions.  Private schools do a better job of managing their money, Where as Public schools don't.  Doing a family comparison my neighbors make maybe twice as much as we do.  However we manage our money better. If something happens we will be ok, they wouldn't.   What I find ironic is that the ones teaching, can't run their own business.    Guess what they say may ring true, those who can do and those who can't teach.

Just so you know, teachers have to work three years before they can 'join the union'. In three years, most of the bad teachers get weeded out. That old tired argument of 'private schools just do better' is worthless. Public schools are required to do twice as much as private schools with half the money.  You have your mind made up and I, for one, am tired of playing the 'what if' game of Republicans.

It would be foolish to think public school would be better than

private or home school, let that be a lesson.

 

Foolish? How many generations went through public schools and got good jobs and had a wonderful life, before Republicans decided to stop funding public schools? Foolish would be reading Breitbart or Infowars and thinking it's real news.
