Christ.....

My main goal in citing the racist teacher was to highlight the outlier which is the extremist teacher who may be qualified, and question whether we should arm such an individual. Given the general understanding of wanting to arm teachers who want to be armed, we have not thought about the extremist in this case. The OP alludes that if the teacher is qualified regardless of their belief system which in this case, white nationalism, it should not matter. My argument is thus that anyone who holds supremacist views in a multicultural setting is dangerous. In the case of the link I provided, the teacher willfully deceived the school system and yes you cannot prevent that, but at the same time this teacher kinda gave herself away by exposing her own views. This is the entire point that teachers should not be armed period because we may arm the wrong damn people! Teaching is a stressful job and anyone that is in college or high school knows that these classrooms are filled with stress. Stress in learning the material and stress in expressing the subject matter.

I don't like saying this but sometimes people should not be having serious discussions on online forums if they are going to go extremely left in something so simple.
If the possibility of racists being armed is unacceptable, then
this proscription has dire implications for cops & the military.
By this standard, no one would be legally armed.

Why do you think every racist is dangerous? EVERY one of them?

If using racial slurs mean that one shouldn't be armed, that would mean few cops & soldiers could carry arms.
And what about other kinds of slurs? Criminy, no one would be able.


You can truly grieve for every officer who’s been lost in the line of duty in this country, and you can truly grieve for a teacher that lost his/her life in a school shooting and still be troubled by cases of police overreach and teachers who are unethical. Those two ideas are not mutually exclusive. You can have great regard for law enforcement and teachers, and still want them to be held to high standards.

Military is one thing...My kid is not exposed to the military unless they joined...We are talking about schools that is another dynamic for another discussion.

Cops are known to have racists in them LAPD here in California has been exposed and many have been held accountable. The problem with law enforcement is the blue wall and the lack of accountability so proving racists being in the police force is hard to prove unless they expose themselves.

Teachers do not have such a wall hence the teacher who outed herself as a white nationalist. She got exposed, tried to delete her social media and still was busted. There is a level of transparency when it comes to teachers that cops and military do not have.

Because racism is extremism this is common fuc**** sense...Racism has lead to many people of color dying. Racism lead to Jim Crow. Racism lead to systemic racism. Racism lead to the civil rights movement racism. Why would I want a teacher with nationalist views teaching my kids that is also concealing a weapon?..You get my drift.

Ok so u would not feel comfortable with teachers who use racial slurs having guns?
And you would want teachers to be held to the same high standards that we have for cops and solders right?

Jollybear says He believe he is superior to animals but doesn’t hate them and it’s the same with some racists. They believe some ethnic groups are inferior to them but that dont mean they are dangerous in all cases.

So jollybear believes not all racist are dangerous and can have guns all because he believes he is superior to animals and don’t want to hurt them.

@Jollybear must’ve had a conversation with a racist and said it’s ok to be racist as long as your not dangerous, because I believe I’m superior to animals but I don’t want to hurt animals. LMAO

This whole thing about teachers needing to be unarmed because some might be white
nationalists is an absurd red herring. If there's a shooting, & the cops are called, they
could have white nationalists among them too. So it's clear that this is an invalid reason
for keeping school staff unarmed.

Yes, i agree, racism is extreme. But...i dont think every racist thinks of murder.

I do get your drift though.

But, i think if we prevent all racists from bearing arms, thats dangerous to freedom AND....may even be unnecessary if some racists are not dangerious.

Like me toward animals.

Seriously though, i know i keep repeating that, but, isnt that what racism is at its core? That one thinks of there kind as superior and the other as inferior?

I think like that toward animals, but im not a danger to them.

Racism thinks the other kind is sub-human. Hey....animal, but, does that have to equal hate?

Why cant it equal stupid in some cases, why does it got to take the leap of meaning hate in every single case?

Your a troll. I dont believe racism is ok. I believe its stupid and misguided.

Your a troll. Stop.

Trolls are cowards too.

Many of us here are tedious & annoying.
But the rules prevent us from informing each other of this.
