High School Teacher Suspended For Pro-Gun Comments On Parkland Shooting
03/02/2018

...Cherry Hill High School history teacher Timothy Locke, 59, said he was placed on administrative leave last week because he spoke out in one of his classes about arming teachers and ramping up school security to try and prevent a school shooting.

Locke allegedly said that a similar shooting could happen at Cherry Hill and he would put himself between the gunman and the students.

Most of the students reportedly didn’t have a problem with Locke’s comments, but one was so distraught by the comments she was escorted to the administration by another teacher. Locke’s bag was searched and he was required to undergo a physical and psychological exam.

“Most students were fine with the comments,” Fox News reported on Friday. “But at least one, who spoke anonymously to local media said the remarks verged on reckless.”

Locke contends he was “adamantly concerned about the wellbeing of my students,” and students are now protesting to have him reinstated at the school...

Apparently kids wanted a discussion after Parkland shootings. Mr Locke was the only teacher to speak up about school security. Protesting students were being threatened with bans from class trip, prom. Kid talks about the disconnect between teachers and school administration. (Yeah, that's the problem with most agencies in NJ)

A teacher actually letting his students debate and think about an issue? Das ist VERBOTEN!

On the flip side things like this give hope that more people are waking up to the insane asylum constructed around them.

The principal of Cherry Hill High School East has apologized for the prom tickets, which said 'party like it's 1776.'

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Cherry Hill High School East may have been trying to channel Prince when making up the tickets for this year's prom, but its principal instead found himself apologizing for what some perceived to be an insensitive racial remark.

Cherry Hill High School East Principal Dr. Dennis Perry has apologized for the wording on the tickets for this year's school prom. The tickets for the prom — to be held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia — read, "party like it's 1776."

He received backlash from the school's African American community, due to the existence of slavery at that point in American history.

"I am writing to apologize for the hurt feelings that reference caused for members of our school family," Perry wrote in a letter to parents that can be found below. "It was insensitive and irresponsible not to appreciate that not all communities can celebrate what life was like in 1776. I especially apologize to our African American students whom I have let down by not initially recognizing the inappropriateness of this wording. You can expect that we will do better as a school community well-thought-out, appropriate communications."


The school will now allow students to get into the prom without bringing their tickets. "We have a record of who purchased tickets, a name will be sufficient upon arrival," Perry said.

A commemorative prom ticket with a new style will be given to all attendees. Additionally, the school will ensure that a diverse group of people will view all information before the school sends it out.


A school district representative wasn't immediately available for further comment Monday morning.


It isn't the first time Cherry Hill East has come under fire from the African American community for being insensitive. Last year, the school removed the use of a racial slur from its production of "Ragtime," after civil rights groups protested and a parent complained.

It seems like this country has some source of joy in see high schools getting shot up and military personnel losing limbs. I just do not remember it being like this 30 years ago. I'm afraid the political capital of school shooting is of such great value we are bound to see an increase.

Has it come to the point that teachers that want to protect students from gun violence get suspended?

Seriously, last I checked they still have slavery in parts of Africa. Blacks enslaving blacks... not whitey involved.

Whats funny about this, is usually when I tell DW about these types of stories, she rolls her eyes or I think suspects I'm making them up or reading fake news. But she stumbled upon this one and was just as sick and $#@!ing tired of it as both of us.
