    The Grafton Police Department, north of Milwaukee, has not identified the seventh grade teacher they say told the students that he had 17 guns in his basement and that he wasn't afraid to use them. :fuckin-deserve:

    The John Long Middle School teacher, who police say is Jewish, was angered by the drawings and also threatened to send his daughter to students' homes with a baseball bat, :cure-for-fascism:

    :jesus-christ:

    Dude wanted to go Inglorious Bastards on the kids.

    Still should have been a teaching moment. Kids and all. But what a reflection on the parents of these brats.

      threatened to send his his daughter

      He was our last hope.

      No, there is another.

      Maybe this is a silly distinction but the fact that he threatened to send his daughter with a baseball bat instead of go himself makes me go “Nah man did nothing wrong”

      Like, yeah, threatening a middle schooler with physical violence for drawing a swastika is probably not great. You shouldn’t threaten children, you’re an adult. But he’s threatening to send someone on their own level!

      Moments where its appropriate to threaten to kill kids are probably rare at best. I recommend you don't do that, even if they're being shitheads. The other rule he broke was forgetting that it's only ok to make threats of gun violence (implied by open carrying or explicit by actually verbalizing your intent to shoot someone) if you're furthering some rightwing goal.

      I've seen teenagers. Trying to be earnest or gentle often just invites mockery, especially if you're talking to them in a group (since being genuine can come off uncool). Sometimes it can get under people's skin.

        Exactly, and they often know exactly what they're doing and know they can get away with it because some lib is going to go "they're children! they're children!" if you say or do anything in response.

      send his daughter to students' homes with a baseball bat

      Someone went to the Joe Greenstein school of parenting I see.
