Hell yeah.

Let's get Charlie Kuck's take on this.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

He's been strangely silent for awhile.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I for one applaud the fact that he has toned down his racist rhetoric.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 16 points 18 hours ago

Daymn, now I wish I was more vocal in supporting his death irl

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Right? I talked all sorts of Charlie Kuck shit. Where's my payout?

It's the one time I'm not proud of keeping myself anonymous online.

Wish they’d fire the incompetent snowflake supervisor who wasted 4 teachers’ salaries trying to pursue a personal vendetta.

On the day Kirk was shot and killed while onstage at an event at Utah Valley University, Mickens posted a quote from Kirk on her private social media account after work hours from her personal computer, according to the lawsuit.

“‘I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. — Charlie Kirk,’” the post read. It did not include any commentary from Mickens.

Lol. Gotta love conservaflakes violating citizen's 1st amendment rights for verbatim quoting a conservaflake icon.

I wish I would have gotten fired for a Charlie Kirk post. It seems to have been worth it for most people who were.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Wow… so 10 years salary… /s.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 29 points 23 hours ago

You can remove the /s, that number is pretty close to accurate.

People constantly complain about how public education is lacking. And yet public school teachers are continuously paid fucking horribly low salaries and expected to perform miracles in the classroom in the form of students becoming well educated upstanding members of society.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

Finally some good news

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Sends a pretty clear message, huh? Try harder next time.

[-] Truthtwopower@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

This is f****** disgusting.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

yep, less than $300K for getting fired and having to go through that is bullshit

[-] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

*was fucking disgusting, he’s dead now

[-] shirasho@feddit.online 9 points 1 day ago

With our tax money, most likely.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

too bad they can't use more of those taxes to pay other teachers, too

[-] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

Finally, a good use of my taxes.

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

The success of capitalism. A hostile felon is looting our coffers to the tune of billions and we are giving a fucking teacher the side eye for getting a pittance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
