Teacher suspended for withdrawing rec. letter of student who displayed swasitka

Not sure who you mean by 'you lot.' I don't think I fit very well in any sort of political group. Regardless of mine or anybody else's political opinions, the left has been the one who has been promoting protecting everybodies feelings for the last decade and change. I find it funny that now nazis are complaining about hurt feelings. Fuck your feelings. Fuck people for being nazis. The teacher is 100% correct. She's under no obligation to write a letter of recommendation for a nazi or a communist or anyone else. Since when are we not allowed to be prejudiced against bad ideas?

This is what the left has been saying all along, though. It's not that you "can't hurt anyone's feelings," it's that if you do say stupid shit, you can expect a response from people. If you put a swastika up or dox a transexual student at a rally, you can bet people are going to have a vehement response to that. You can't have it both ways. Where people get it fucked up is that they translate "I won't stand for this quietly" to "you can't say those things." No, you can say them. I'm just going to tell you why you're wrong.

We agree that the teacher is 100% correct in not wanting to be associated or place her reputation on the line for a kid that thinks it's okay to troll people with swastikas. Maybe it's just immaturity, maybe he's a real neo-nazi, maybe he actually doesn't know what he's doing. Fine. But I still am not required to be associated with it.

The left says you can't hurt muslim's feelings, or you are an islamophobe. I mean, that's not right wing people who are saying that. Now nazis have just taken the same idea and are applying it to them. I feel like things like trigger warnings and safe spaces have their root in the same place. The left just wants to apply the idea just to minorities, but the idea is the same: That hurtings people's feelings is worth an over the top response. In this case suspending a teacher. Hardly the first teacher to be suspended for spurious reasons by an overly-politically correct society.

 What I am saying is that now other people have taken the same idea (that hurting someone's feelings is some major thing) apparently even to apply to nazis. It's the exact same idea, just applied to a different group of people. That's what I mean by the left is now laying in the bed they made. What sort of world have we made when you can't even offend a nazi?
