A Dallas school district apologizes after a teacher suggests the 17-year-old charged with killing 2 during the Kenosha, Wisconsin, protests was a possible “modern hero” alongside Gandhi and Malcolm X in an essay assignment.

in connection with the Aug. 25 shooting deaths of Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber during protests over the shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha.

"My brother was really in disbelief that this was actually an assignment," Hernandez told NBC affiliate KXAS.

Who wrote up the assignment?! Who approved it!? Who knew about it before it was disseminated to students!?

Fucking Texas. Every time I see progress one person makes me feel that it's all a pipe-dream.

That school accidentally hired a bigoted meth head instead of a “Teacher.” Wtf Texas?

The school district apologized for the teacher. The teacher didn’t apologize. They should be firing that teacher.

All the teacher did was include his name on a list, which also included George Floyd, and you all think she should be FIRED for that? I know it scalds your asses, but (a) we do have presumption of innocence in the US, and (b) a lot of people think he IS a hero. SMDH.

I remember when Ghandi used to shoot ppl! WTF!

This teacher sounds incredibly based.

Americans have had enough. Don't bring this to the suburbs

Dear Current and Future Forced Apologists, We’re not accepting verbal apologies, only changed behavior. Kick Rocks.

They don't apologize after calling malcolm x a hero? The dude was a self proclaimed racist.

He is a hero.

In what alternate reality is a 17 year old murderer a hero? These people are sick.

DESPICABLE!

Apologize for what? He was defending himself.

Our laws state that if you murder someone you are a criminal not a hero. You go to jail and in some states death penalty. However killing someone in “self” defense is different than murder.

Let me guess. Happened at White High School?

Lol it appears he was🤷🏽‍♂️

there should be some law that would punish him for co-responsibility by having minors under his guardianship and negatively influencing the minds of young people with those thoughts

he's a hero. you won't show the full video breakdowns but it was self defense.

America is an increasingly f**ked up and scary place.

Makes me wonder what is being taught at that school? No mention of the teachers employment being terminated

🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s Texas.

I can’t see anything more real than this.

Guaranteed that same teacher would have considered Malcolm X a 'terrorist'. Malcolm would have quite obviously been on the side of the people that Kyle murdered.

Why is an educator in our school system?

Gandhi? A hero? How about a small, drunk, women abuser, child abuser, drunk pussy who loved to beat up on his wife and other women close to him? Look it up! I'm an American of indian decent, I refused to accept gandhi as any type of hero!

Going to need more than an apology.

Who ever came up with the assignment should be removed

When will schools apologize for teaching the 1619 project ?

That teacher has some real issues... I'm old enough to remember that Malcolm and Ghandi didn't actually kill anyone.

Kyle Murderhouse is currently rotting in a cell where he belongs.

A ' modern hero '.....Insane! Disgusting.

So now we have to apolgize for telling the truth? Okay then.

No. Should apologize for having the drug addict criminal George Floyd on the list. Wastrel idiots

Teachers shouldn’t apologize for telling the truth!

Huh? The teacher wrote an essay assignment?

To say racial equity is top priority, you need to say that it is NOW your priority. We know it wasn’t before.

Why apologize

Hate has cause so many to loose their flippin minds. The best apology, in this case, is an early retirement for someone who seemingly can’t keep it together. ...and that education union - the one who defends child predators in the school system - well they can just pound sand.

This is 'Patriotic Education' the education TRAITOR TRUMP wants. This is also straight from Adolf Hitler's game plan. It happened in the 1930's. All schools had to teach in the NAZIS ideology. Brain washing. Burning books written by Jews and none Germans. A fake NAZI history.

He is a hero. The cops and politicians did nothing to protect citizens and their property. So groups of armed citizens stepped up and did it which goes against the media narratives. (The only people shot were criminals).

I will make my child leave that school at that instant

He is a hero

Apologizes ? TrumpsAmerica

Some group has a go fund me type thing online that has raised almost $500,000 for this shooter.

Never bend the knee in cowardice

Patriotic education?

They should also add a class about Micah Johnson, an American revolutionary and hero. 👍🏾

Sesimbra5 Apologized?! 🤬 Fire HER. We don’t need our children indoctrinized 🖕

I notice the teachers name wasn't mentioned, was there corrective action taken against the teacher? Are there any lawsuits yet?

Texas schools have been 'teaching' fake facts for decades. The teainfo is deeply biased in favor of Christian-based education. What's more disturbing is that since Texas is such a large buyer of textbooks, Texas in effect controls the content of what other states get to teach.

Disgusting!

Fahq NBC. He is definitely a hero if you are going to list George Floyd among the names of Malcolm X and Ghandi. Y'all really are pathetic. That guy was high asf and resisting arrest. Your network is a disgrace to journalism. Hero?

Are you kidding? An apology is supposed to repair this? That teacher needs to go. The school district board, faculty, and staff need to be assessed to identify additional white supremacist terrorists and get them out of there.

Years ago, a DISD teacher told my son who was acting out in class she wished he would be run over by a Mac truck. He was upset & struggling because he had watched his best friend killed by a speeding motorist thru our hood. They were 11 & 10 Got an apology; wish we had sued.

Right wing people contradict themselves and claim to be American, but love making enemies out of Americans. It’s like saying you like women sexually and prove it by making out with guys.

I'm having a hard time reading this headline. I don't see the word FIRED anywhere. The High School is Named White. Pretty sure that isn't an accident.

Hold on. And realDonaldTrump said that liberal schools are brainwashing kids... So. What does he call this? Don't respond. I already know.

She’s voting for the Republicans

John 16:20 'I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that you shall weep and grieve, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.'

Sounds like a teacher needs to lose their job.

I suggest that teacher's employment should be terminated

I remember when Ghandi bragged about his Ar-15. Dude was a total gun nut

😡

'Hero' may not be right, but it was definitely self defense.

OMG!! ANOTHER DonnieJr

Hello fam add me on snapchat: tomholland590 📲:7075302022 order your top shelf cannabis and other thc products

They should apologize for a couple of the other people on the list, not for Kyle.

They said what they said. Why apologize for being the racist she is

That was cleverly concocted. She used Malcom X to both troll, and offer plausible deniability. Everything they do at this point is some form of an attack on their fellow Americans.

FUCK HER APOLOGY

Fire him or her for trying to undermine young people, as the 17 yo killer goes for psychological help in prison as he serves his time, a long time.

Chinese virologist: China's government 'intentionally' released COVID-19 Twitter suspended her account after 2 days she just created, unbelievable!!! Everyone should know this truth to save yourself, Chinese people, and the world!

Do people understand that these are demonic actions. Only a devil would even think this would be a good idea. Then program kids with this evil shit. Devils in the classroom

He was defending himself after all. When is the third attacker who charged him with a glock going to be charged with attempted murder?

Kyle will not see the light of day for a long time, and perhaps ever. Tough for him. He made his bed of hate and violence. Let him sleep in it until he is released from prison, or he dies

I think they could use some diversity training. JS

drinking on the job huh?

FreeKyleRittennhouse

That’s the America history Donald Trump want taught in schools all across the country. To hell with the real, painful, ugly history of slavery, genocide, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, Jim Crow, fight for Civil Rights.

Why are the jumping to defend that kid? He murdered people

These people are sick, each and every one of them.

Does this teacher still have a job?

But nothing would have happened if he praised BLM. Our schools are out of control and politics should not be on the agenda. I saw a report that 64% of young people think the Jews caused the Holocaust. Concentrate on history and civics.

She needs to be fired. That's a promotion of criminality.

Keep it classy texas!

😡

Apologizes?! When I hear these apologies, it means I am sorry I got caught.

The BLM protesters are the modern heroes.

That teacher should be fired immediately

OMG this is awful.

Dumb as a rock. Jesus agrees

How did Gandhi a non-violence advocate get on this elite list

smh.

Appalling.

If the assignment had been to argue that all white people are racists he would have gotten an award

always after the fact, just look at the gov and lt gov, domestic terrorists, religious delusionals, the enemy..science frightens them

Fire her

The Kenosha Kid IS a hero!

Patriotic education

Please advise that this moron has been suspended . . . .

The young man charged in those supposed killings was a hero and defended himself accordingly. Every true American will have to eventually do this because our country is being over run by domestic terrorism

WTF? Has this teacher read anything about Gandhi or Malcom X?

Pull their teaching certificate. That is not ok.

A school teacher approving the action of a murder is she trying to recruit other children by praising him. BLM.

What? WHAT 🙄

Teachers can be idiots too

Rapist Racist BLM and the NFL can kiss my American azz.

There is nothing to apologize for

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DallasISDMedia?!?

Did she get fired ?

Jail for inciting violence in a school

Still employed?

Hopefully the Ignoramus will be unemployed..🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The teacher should be FIRED!!!

She'd be right but teachers really need to keep their opinions to themselves.

Bonfiredesigns You mean self-defense or haven't you seen the video?

Time to be fired.

This is greatly abhorrent

We've got a principle on unpaid leave for swearing on camera after he got pelted by a pepper ball when walking by a protest, but sure, this is fine too.

And was the teacher fired? Because an apology doesn't quite cut it.

Well the first guy was a pedo who was convicted of assault several boys. The second one was a serial rapist/domestic abuser. Its not completely out of left field

so she thinks shooting someone in the back then running from the scene and shooting two more people heroic. all while carrying and illegal firearm and believing racist rhetoric. she need to find a new job. teaching is not where she should be.

Holy shit.

Why

Apologizes, really. Fired is a better response

A hero defending freedom and prosperity from pedo’s and thieves.

'Domestic Terrorist'

I trust this same teacher has since been fired

Omg! You can’t do that!! where are the consequences?

Sounds like Texas.

Dear Current and Future Forced Apologists, We’re not accepting verbal apologies, only changed behavior. Kick Rocks

Normally, I support teachers. I think they work hard for little pay and no praise. That being said, this bastard needs to lose their job immediately. They also need to be blacklisted by every school district. We don't need psychopaths like this teaching our children.

Fire the teacher.

He is a modern day hero.

🤷‍♂️

Apologizes? That’s it? That teacher should be fired!

This is so ABSURD.. I actually laughed..

Gandhi was a racist.

It’s better to stay home. Unless the teacher was trying to get a discussion going.

Hopefully this teacher gets their unemployment check quickly.

Well the boy killed two people in self defense, and injured another If he'd not done that they would've killed him. He'd spent the day helping peaceful protesters and defending businesses. He is objectively a good person.

In Trump’s America, he’d hella let this happen.

It's funny how no one in the worthless MSM has interviewed the people who actually live in Kenosha and had their businesses and homes burned to the ground..who asked Rittenhouse to help because AntifaBLMDomesticTerrorists were attacking them. Kyle defended them & himself. Hero.

Oh, an apology. It's fixed now? How?

I'm wondering why this 'Dallas school teacher' still is employed after this horrific spout of delusional crap.

Yikes

Under Trump the Radical Right can't control themselves. AG Barr equates Slavery to Mask wearing and staying home during a deadly Respiratory Pandemic.

Are you f£¥~ing kidding me?

But not fired or suspended?

Again, how did u receive ur degree cause it sounds like u shouldn't have 1!!🤔🤬

She should be fired, how did killing a blm a heroic thing, what danger were the people in smh.

I would seriously decide to remove my children from that school district if it were mine. Parents wake up..

Lol, love it. That teacher deserves a raise.

The teacher needs to be fired. Period.

he is a hero. he defended himself against a mob. pure self defense, there’s video. this isn’t difficult.

The teacher is kind of echoing Trump’s words. Who should be apologizing first 🤔

That teacher should be FIRED.

Ok but what’s her name we just wanna talk 🙈🙈

Guy defending himself against a pedophile trying to cause him harm or more.... after weeks of seeing people beat half to death and left lifeless in the street Kyle knew it wouldn't be him.

'Vast majority' of funding promised by Trump for Kenosha can't be used for recovery, Baldwin, Evers saySen. Tammy Baldwin and Gov. Tony Evers say money promised for Kenosha's recovery by the Trump administration could amount to much less than expected. Sue BLM and get them to pay for the damage their supporters caused. They have billions of dollars, what are they doing with it to help the black communities they burned down? Ungrateful POS. Should come out of the budget for the LeftWing Redistricting Committee Evers just formed. They helped burn it down and now they blame Trump. Typical
