A Smithtown High School West teacher’s recent social media
post has spawned controversy. The Long Island educator labeled some of her students “racist” simply for supporting the
Republican presidential candidate, Donald trump. The post read, “This week is
spirit week at Smithtown HS West. It’s easy to spot which students are racist
by the Trump gear they’re sporting for USA Day.”
Students
at the school reacted in various ways to the obviously vile, false and
intolerant post. One said, “It’s not a good idea because then like she
influences the students with the same ideas.” Another student’s parent
exclaimed: “There’s no reason for her to pass judgment on those kids on a
social platform.”
And another
parent stated, “I’m not big on social media, but I think that in the classroom
they need to show both sides.”
A
majority of people voted for Barack Obama- in part because he is black- with
no repercussions. But if one plans to vote for the white male candidate in the
upcoming election, they must literally prepare to be assaulted.
It is easy to spot who is racist and
intolerant…by their reaction to Trump gear.
And it
is just as easy to spot who detests traditional Catholics, conservatives,
Sanders supporters, “needy Latinos,” Trump supporters, southerners, and
“everyday Americans” by the Clinton gear they
sport, isn’t it?
