This is a heartwarming story. A radical hippie chick school teacher was forced to resign after wearing a tee shirt that said "8647" to a school field trip to the nation's capitol. The teacher, Tonja Luken, was employed until she quit by Indiana's Middlebury Community Schools. She made the foolish mistake of posting herself in the shirt on social media (which she has since deleted.)

BTW Tonja is a Russian name. I wonder if she wasn't a child of Soviet agents? She was an English teacher who studied at Western Michigan and was originally from Mishawaka.

At any rate the radical Tonja tried to argue that the field trip wasn't a school activity, even though it clearly was sponsored by the school. School officials stated that the code is quite clear; any time a teacher is representing the school they must be politically neutral.

Luken clearly knew the jig was up. She resigned.

This is right and proper. A qualification for working as a teacher in many schools is a voluntary surrender of one's free speech rights while on the employer's dime. Everyone knows the ropes - or should anyway. And '86 is colloquial slang for kill or destroy.

But even if it's not it was clearly openly political in violation of the contract she signed. Oh, and was wearing it to the Capitol, which is just trying to stir up trouble.

The Left has to be taught that they no longer can do as they please. Rules that apply to us apply to them as well.

I would have favored firing a teacher wearing a MAGA hat too.

At any rate the times they are a-changin'. Get used to being one of the crowd liberals!
