A travesty. This is an example of why the polls are inaccurate. Imagine how many people are afraid to admit that they support President Trump, out of fear of being ostracized from their communities, or fired from their jobs, or beaten up? Only the American people can put a stop to this madness, by preventing the Left from gaining power in November. Support President Trump and the Republican Party, America. This country is quite literally on the line in November.
How long before we rise up and take back our freedoms?
Throw these traitorous, anti-American bums out.

Michigan School Fires Popular Teacher For Saying ‘Trump Is Our President’
Parents, students praise ‘apolitical,’ ‘supportive’ teacher
By Chrissy Clark, Free Beacon, July 22, 2020:
A Michigan school district fired a popular high school teacher and coach after he pointed out that “Trump is our president” on social media.
Varsity baseball coach and social studies teacher Justin Kucera said Walled Lake school district officials hauled him into a closed-door meeting after he indicated his support for President Trump’s speech to reopen schools. He told the Washington Free Beacon the Walled Lake Western principal and district superintendent gave him an ultimatum: be fired or resign.

“I was required to meet with [human resources], the superintendent, and my principal [on July 10]. They initially took my statement on why I tweeted those tweets and they told me they would have a decision about my future employment in the upcoming days.
When they completed the meeting, I was told I had the option to either be fired or resign.” Kucera said.
Neither the school district nor the principal responded to requests for comment.
Kucera said the statement that cost him his job was intended to unify, rather than divide.“I know a lot of people are just rooting for Trump to fail, and I don’t think that anybody should do that,” Kucera said. “Agree with him or not, you should want the president to do well. I apologized that [my tweet] brought so much negative attention, but I’m not sorry for what I said.”
Kucera was a popular figure at the high school before the episode, according to parents and former teachers. Even his detractors lauded him on social media as they condemned the tweet. One student said she would need to find a new “favorite teacher” after seeing the missive. Multiple sources said that the teacher never brought politics into the classroom.
Bryant Hixson, a recent Walled Lake Western graduate, said his political views have no impact on how he views his coach and teacher.
“Prior to Mr. Kucera’s tweet, I cannot recall an instance where he shared his political affiliations while teaching or coaching,” Hixson said. “My political views have no impact on how I feel towards Mr. Kucera. Mr. Kucera has always been supportive of me as my AP World History and student leadership teacher and as my baseball and basketball coach.”
A parent of two Walled Lake Western boys told the Free Beacon—on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution—that Kucera was an apolitical figure who coached his son in baseball and basketball and taught his sons AP History and student leadership.
“Justin coached my son his entire high school career and also was his AP History teacher and student leadership teacher for two years. I know Justin very well,” the parent said. “If there’s one thing that I would commend Justin for is, he always tried to stay apolitical. He always tried to stay right down the middle, avoid [political] conversations, and let the students make their own call based on their own life experiences.” The father of two believes Kucera lost his job because administrators caved to a mob that had little to do with the school district.
Other Walled Lake teachers have expressed their political views without any repercussions. Paulette Loe, a now-retired Walled Lake Western teacher, encouraged students to read an article from the Atlantic about “how to beat Trump” while still employed. Nicole Estes, a kindergarten teacher in the district, called Trump a “sociopath” and a “narcissist” on Facebook in 2016 and is still employed at Keith Elementary School. Neither Loe nor Estes responded to requests for comment.
The teachers’ union representative that accompanied Kucera at the meeting did not respond to a request for comment.

Free speech ? Issuing statements of fact ? Sounds like he’s got a good lawsuit if he wants one.

THIS only happened because of Trump. USA daily mortality is still trending downwards. Yesterday it was 571, and that is certainly an overestimate. The real numbers are about half that. USA daily mortality, from all causes, is about 7,700.

So the school official aren’t interested in teaching truth. (Or isn’t Trump the POTUS?) No child of mine would enter that school!

This has got to be a joke. Unfortunately I’m sure it is not. I’d say sue the _____ out of them but it’s sad that anyone would have to do that just because they supported our president.

In my country saying otherwise will be considered a treason, and thus they will be sorted out.

Sadly, the same is going on in the UK. What ever happened to free speech and freedom to state the obvious truth?
I hope he sues them into the Stone Age. Name the school, the administrators present at the meeting, the school board, and maybe even the state all together, and sue them for everything you can get. If one gets a judge to knock one or two off the lawsuit, there will still be the others. Who knows, maybe the administrators will be fired.
If someone doesn’t like truth, or someone doesn’t like your political leanings, that doesn’t mean your opinion has be be treated as criminal act. If he said Pelosi is the Speaker, should anyone be upset?
Just another example of cancel culture.

Remember UK does not have First Amendment like we do. They have Freedom of Speech if the bureaucracy agrees with you.

This is how stuff like this always begins. If we consider UK cancel culture to be a step 8 or 9 (just supposing), they went through steps 1-7 first. We are obviously well on our way, but its hard to imagine that police divisions would be set up to monitor/patrol social media here as they do there.
Make no mistake, the ground work is mostly all here and perhaps Covid is suppose to move the monitoring agenda up a notch or two, but I don’t see America going softly into that dark night, not that Brits aren’t fighters, but we still got our g-uns and the 2nd.

I think it’s time to recognize that the people who run our schools and universities are profoundly evil. The same for our other cultural institutions. They are not merely mistaken or misguided. We are now enduring the closest thing to a zombie apocalypse we will ever see.

“Imagine how many people are afraid to admit that they support President
Trump, out of fear of being ostracized from their communities, or fired
from their jobs, or beaten up?”
This describes the mindset of Californication perfectly. Dem0rats have become sanctimonious fascists.
As for Kucera, I hope he didn’t resign so he can sue this school district and teacher’s union for wrongful termination.

Like Stalin did.
Now there must be just a “Antifa” to enforce the communist manifesto and put this teacher in an “education-camp” and there we go.
The truth is what the party says and we have a lot to say you racist, bigott, homophopic ……

That is worth monitoring more than most realize. ‘Laying down’, turning America into whiny ignoramuses, has been education’s (institutional) and MSM’s goal for a long time.
As the drift in the Christian ethos took more and more hold, the issues that truly mattered above all others, were ‘let go’, and the nation lost its position as ‘godly’. Laws that once reflected the faith, were replaced by contemporary voices that found their empowerment as secularism grew. Influence manifests itself in how much we either lay down and loose, or protest/vote and win (something the Muslims know only too well)…when the faith base lost its influence, America’s end was only a matter of time.

Sue the school board. Fire the school board. Picket their homes. Throw paint on their houses. Let them feel the wrath of antifa like actions.
