Phoenix area teacher resigns after violent tweets surface

Someone else #MAGA

A Scottsdale teacher has resigned after she reportedly tweeted out an allegedly offensive message about immigrants.

Bonnie Verne was a third-grade teacher at Pardes Jewish Day School.

The school sent a message Tuesday saying:

"PJDS informed the school community that teacher Bonnie Verne resigned due to comments she recently made on her personal Twitter account."


Here's someone who screenshotted this for Twitter (the teacher protected her tweets and that tweet has no doubt been wished out into the cornfields).

I'm glad she resigned and isn't infecting children with her presence any more, but what if she hadn't been so stupid? It's so sad to think of the little non-white children in her classroom who had to have her as a teacher.

6. So that was horrible, but I wonder if it was sarcasm

I'd like to get some more context. Either way, she shouldn't have posted but it sounds like something folks here might throw out at Ann Coulter. I myself myself am guilty of making snide remarks pretty regularly. If taken in the wrong context, one might think differently about root meaning.


Edit: also look who retweeted it with their outrage: "Wounded Christian" wtf is that all about? Bio: Kidnapped as very young girl. My DNA has been entered into NCIC - Missing Database Clergy Sex-Abuse/Trafficking Survivor. Cat lover. Pro at dry sarcasm

I'm sure if I searched harder the use of snowflake, cuck and a litany of other hard hitting adjectives will reveal themselves. Well, perhaps she can use them on her resume. Wonder how she is going to like Cobra for her insurance for the next 90 days, then ACA(maybe). If so her next post in July, complaining that her ACA is being taken away. Thx for the link.

19. She just as well write her resume on toilet paper. She won't be teaching again.

One Internet search in a background check of her will do her in.

Day school teacher fired after repeatedly tweeting about killing illegal immigrants
by David Kinzer

A Jewish day school teacher in Arizona resigned yesterday after tweeting that illegal immigrants should be killed, local 3TV reports.

The story begins with a photo of a man holding a sign saying “deport illegal aliens.”

“Or we can put a bullet in their head immediately,” the teacher, Bonnie Godin Verne replied.

In another tweet, she similarly admonished her Twitter followers not to deport illegal aliens but instead to “just kill them.”

I mean there's been tons of cases where jackasses like this do go around shooting people.

well she was probably pressured to quit. I thought as an Ann Coulter fan, she would be more loud and proud about her nasty words?

My small hope is that maybe shame still works for some of these people.

SHAME SHAME SHAME


And also, doesn't Ann Coulter herself promote shit like this anyway? All this teacher was doing was parroting the hate that pundits have been saying for decades.
