A few years ago NC Rep. Mark Brody defined us as “thugs.”
And, you are a “loser” according to the former president’s son. From a 2018 rally in El Paso, Texas:
“You know what I love? I love seeing some young conservatives because I know it’s not easy. (Crowd applauds and shouts.) Keep up that fight. Bring it to your schools. You don’t have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you on socialism from birth. You don’t have to do it. Because you can think for yourselves. They can’t.”
It doesn’t stop there. You are also “wicked.” Remember when Mark Robinson called public school teachers “wicked?”
And in a speech in front of the Orange County Republican Party in 2021, Truitt offered these thoughts for appeasement (as reported here):
“Let me say also: You know the bills that have been filed about teachers, requiring teachers to post their materials online? When I taught in Johnston County … I used a virtual learning environment called Moodle … I posted everything in Moodle and any parent could access it at anytime. So, you know, get over the bellyaching.”
No wonder we as a state have this…
