Teacher calls local Tea Party president a Nazi

As a teacher in Texas I do not have any say regarding who comes into my classroom. I work with all the students to help them read, write, and think. I encourage them all to respect the laws of the United States. I try to teach them that through discipline, hard work, and their own best efforts to pursue happiness they can make something of themselves. I teach them that there are no guarantees of success, only that they have the freedom to do their best. I teach them that no one owes them anything except equality of opportunity and that it is up to them to make it in this world after that. While I act as though they are all citizens of the United States, if it comes to my attention that they are not here legally, I suggest that they should not break any further laws of this country and should seek to find a way to become legal citizens. I tell them quite frankly that they have placed themselves in a precarious position and must work harder than legal citizens to remain on the right side of the law in every other respect. I tell them that civil authorities have every right to deport them, that to do otherwise on our part is to welcome a Trojan horse of destruction into our civil society. I tell them that while they may be wonderful people, there are others who have entered illegally who are not and that the laws must be enforced. I tell them that it is dangerous and illogical for the society to have undocumented people in the country and that I will not lie about it. The truth is that some of our most dangerous and violent criminals are persons here illegally from around the world. They are not listed in the system and rape, kill, promote the sale and production of narcotics, traffic human beings, and carry out all sorts of other nefarious activities for which they should be prosecuted and incarcerated. The laws regarding illegal entry into the United States apply to usurpers of all nations, not just our neighbors to the south.

@ teabagger. "Where is the compassion in kicking people out of their school? Also, why do so many conservative christians have short hair instead of the long "hippie" hair that jesus apparently favored?" First of all it is not legally their school if they are not here legally. We do have a legal way to become citizens and many many people do this. Second of all many of Mexico's cities are fairly modern and they do have good schools there. If these kids took what they have learned here back to Mexico, got into politics there and fought for their country to change it would be even better. Frankly I think we do the illegals a serious disservice by hiring at substandard wages and conditions. We need to stop the incentive for coming here illegally to begin with. We need to take responsibility for America's illegal drug usage which funds the cartels and the violence. Mexico needs to heal and start helping their own people and we need to stop funding the cartels and the incentives to be here. I am not against individuals helping individuals, just as Jesus would. But lets not encourage the problem to continue. I also am for a lot of what the tea party stands for. Why would that make me a racist? I don't care what color or nationality a person is, if they are here illegally then they are here illegally. We as Americans are not the savior of the world and other countries do have the capability to help themselves and their populations. It would be totally impossible for America to help all the poor and needy in the world and it is not our job nor our responsibility to do that. As to the comment about the hair...really? Honestly, I do know a lot of long haired Christians and one's with beards and mustaches too. Also, there are Christians around the world of all different nationalities (Yes! Oh my, even dark skinned one's who don't even speak english. And oh my, ones who are Mexican and arab - note of sarcasm here for your ignorance in believing liberal propaganda stereotypes).

What I also find appalling is that so many libs will not log in with their real names. They hide behind false ID's like the KKK does, only they call it diversity. Remember it was the democratic party that supported racism and the KKK in the South. It was the party of Lincoln that freed the slaves, passed civil rights legislation and gave the right to vote to minorities and the poor.

What I find appalling is that a white teacher called a person of color a Nazi (meaning racist) and no one complained about that. Why do the libs take offense at upholding the law while breaking it themselves?. If they want the undocumented people (illegals) to be legal, they should adopt an illegal child and raise them, paying for their education themselves and not burden tax payers.

The Tea Party IS a Nazi party in the sense that it represents a native fascist movement. They promote corporate rule, militarism and nationalism, the three pillars of fascism. They are anti-intellectual, anti-science and anti-worker. The connection between the crowd that cheered the death penalty (and people dying miserably for lack of health care) and Hitler's adoring fans is unmistakeable. These are not the people who made America great.

WOAI fails again as a source of objective news! Why is the teacher unnamed? Why did WOAI permit him to anonymously call a distinguished citizen of San Antonio a derogatory name, but then WOAI shows the name of the person who was called a Nazi? Why did WOAI report that "tempers had flared" when only the accuser had lost his, and his target had remained calm and objective? Why did WOAI state that the anonymous "teacher" had told his District that he had "made a mistake", but not report whether the teacher had apologized to the man he had called the name! The teacher is now excused, with no disciplinary action, when he committed such an unprofessional and unjust act knowingly in front of his students? There is no better evidence of the need for Texas to permit parents to have the option of where their children are educated than this example! I fear for the students of all the other imbedded anonymous anti-American teachers who have infiltrated our state and are indoctrinating our students. If they do not want our laws enforced, I strongly recommend they emigrate to any nation south of us that will take them in!

Heck this story just won’t die. I did not know that Tea Poopers were so sensitive when it comes to being called names. I thought that you were all for eliminating PC, PC is for liberal wussies, and PC is destroying this country? Then why are you crying cause some teacher called your local TEE PEE president a Nazi? Time to Nut Up or Shut Up!

"The Tea Party would like the chance to go and speak to the districts high school students "to explain to them our position in a controlled, quite, calm manner" added Rodriguez." Let's see, what did the Republicans call this when Obama wanted to have a speech played to students - oh yes, INDOCTRINATION. And this was before they even KNEW the content of the President's speech!! It was in fact about working hard and staying in school, but this Tea Party guy wants to explain their position to high school students? Uhh, NO man - stay away from my kids!!

@ilovecheesepi its just hard to believe that lack of clear thinking from Tea baggers. Libs you know that its hard to strive for the good and fair, but we need to let them know that money, threats, CAPITAL letters, and fear will not change what is fair and just.

Why is this so upsetting when people in the Tea Party are guilty of throwing names like "Nazi" and "Facist" around? You cannot expect to be credible when you take the holier than thou attitude and say, "Oh my God, how could you?" when you are known for doing the scornful activity which you are disdaining presently.
