The post
I lost it with a class. A student made a Third Reich flag on the Chromebook in my class. Heard hitler and looked over then I went off in a profanity laced tirade about how many people died and they were not all Jews and you in a Parochial school. Showed a Holocaust video for the rest of the day for the rest of my classes. The video went went well and had some discussions I really don't need this job and may get fired but it's a good hill to die on.

I've had a few teachers flip their b-word switch when they saw something grotesquely wrong and immoral. Sometimes it's necessary to show your students your nonviolent rage to get a message across ๐คทโโ๏ธ
If you get fired, there's plenty of other schools that will hire you. Thanks for standing up to hate ๐
Reddit teachers continue to be normal people who definitely understand kids. I know the best way to get kids to not do something edgy is to have a massive reaction and break all the expected decorum towards them.

Went out drinking with one of my buddies after he got home from afghanistan and when he was wasted he spray painted a bunch of swastikas on an elementary school
Totally forgot about that memory until this post
