Very likely considering the link is to zerohedge. Only idiots believe anything they post.

Did anybody ask the slaves or Indians if Western Civilization was awesome?

You mean the slaves from the Jungle Book Kumbayah culture who, as slaves and slaveholders, were plucked up by the Religion of Peace and sold to the Bad White People or other Religion of Peacers?

Or the Noble Savages who had slaves from among their own unless they killed each other off first?

Western civilization being the one of the first civilization to outlaw slave ownership, that civilization?

When my company was acquired by another company they put up all these signs saying "1+1>2". It became their motto. We're a technology company and all of the engineers snickered at their BS. Of course, 1 company + another company

Usually it is the case that 1+1=1.5 in that case as redundant positions are eliminated.

Shouldn't the headline read "teacher fired for membership in racist hate group's? Lady wasn't defending Western civ. She was spewing racist crap.

How do you people find this crap?

The irony is that it is Western freedom which has allowed them to spout the anti-Western BS that they do.

During her speech, she said “each of us here believes in the unparalleled force for good that is Western Civilization, that is our heritage, whether we were born here or not.”

Um, why is this wrong? She was hired to teach MATH (or “MATHS” is your a limey

saved your a$$e$ in WWII BTW...you’re WELCOME) not Western Civ. A teacher who can’t even remember what subject she is supposed to be teaching sounds like a problem to me.

This would be like a teacher teaching religion (i.e. intelligent design, creationism) in a science class—EVERYONE agrees that’s moronic! Stay on topic FFS!!! Why do so many mouthbreathing Trump supporters not understand what topics need to covered in a particular class!?!

Her comments which purportedly got her fired were made outside of the classroom.

OK, if you want to get all picayune about it.

So of course you can't defend Western Civilization within a college or pretty much anywhere anymore, sjw and leftist freak will have you fired and labeled as a white nationalist.

I am a democrat, and this woman was inappropriately terminated. After reading about the story, it appears that the majority of the faculty were democrats, and they didn't too much care for her political beliefs, even though she respected theirs. She provided her political views during her personal time, and her speech took place at a conference that had no affiliation with the school or educational system.

She is entitled to freedom of press and speech, and she is entitled to her beliefs, as long as she is not abusing or degrading another citizen,institution, company, etc.

It appears that she is a liberal conservative, where she is a republican, but isn't afraid to address the issues of her party, and she would often critique the president.

We all have our beliefs, and the focal point is to disagree agreeable. I consider myself to be a liberal, unbiased figure, but I must say that democrats have become militant in their ways when comes to the beliefs of others. These ultra democrats are not respecting freedom of choice, and if you don't follow their views and perception, then you are automatically ostracized. It's quite extreme.

It also appears that she was an excellent educator, and not only loved her job, but also appreciated her students.

"Teaching because she has such a passion for her students, Karen’s students were equally blessed to have such a gifted, unbiased mentor in their lives. According to Karen, she was the only conservative teacher at the school while the rest were very vocal leftists, some who encouraged their students towards political activism on the school campus.

Karen’s own political activism was focused outside of her school, and even though she was a registered Republican she spoke against injustice for both sides of the political aisle. When she founded her Los Angeles activist organization “Rage Against the Media” Karen was pointing out the one thing journalists once claimed to despise: bias in the media."

What does this have at all to do with the topic at hand? Who gives two shakes of a stick what your political affiliation is? Huh?

California is a bad place, and the Federal government never acts on their sedition, so if you choose to live and work there, be careful.

Ummm, why> wrote:

She is a republican, so I just wanted it to be recognized that I was siding with her even though I am affiliated with a different party. I wanted it to be recognized that when it comes to human rights, and freedom of choice, my views are unbiased regardless of my political position.

One my perceive that I am republican, so that is why I am siding with her
