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.
Comment from the thread
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 🤷♀️
If you get fired, there's plenty of other schools that will hire you. Thanks for standing up to hate 👏
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.

I love their ability to massage words so that even when being a psycho, they're justified. "Nonviolent rage" lmao.

We already had a better phrase for that behaviour - "impotent rage"
