Teacher who flipped out on anti-lockdown protesters is under investigation, placed on leave



Turns out the self-proclaimed teacher who flipped out on anti-lockdown protesters in Bend, Oregon, over the weekend and spewed multiple F-bombs at them wasn't lying.

She's indeed a teacher in nearby Jefferson County School District 509-J — and officials there placed her on paid administrative leave while the district investigates the incident, KTVZ-TV reported.

What's the background?

As TheBlaze reported Monday, the teacher in question was caught on video cursing out the peaceful protesters from her Subaru at the intersection of Northwest Greenwood Avenue and Northwest Wall Street.

Wearing a headband with her COVID-19 mask dangling below her chin, the ponytailed leftist let loose on protesters: "Bitch! Kill yourself!"

"I'm a f***ing teacher! I work in schools!" she screamed. "F*** you! F*** you! I am a teacher! I teach students!"

All the while the protesters simply turned up their own volume — and some simply laughed at the lunacy-filled moment.

"Our families are dying!" she hollered, her high-pitched voice cracking.

In another odd moment she appeared to welcome the attention of those recording her antics, maniacally waving and yelling "hi" to the cameras:

She then hollered "F*** all of you!" before finally driving away as demonstrators chanted "USA! USA! USA!"

Here's the clip, which was posted to Twitter on Sunday. Content warning: Profanity:

Anything else?

"We are aware of the incident and are investigating," Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Ken Parshall told KTVZ. He declined to identify the first-year teacher or which school or grades she has taught in, citing personnel confidentiality.

The Jefferson County School District office is located in Madras, about 50 minutes north of Bend, which is in Deschutes County.

The station said more than 2 million people had viewed Twitter and Facebook posts of the profanity-laced video.

How are folks reacting?

Reactions to the Oregonian's tweet about the teacher's suspension were all over the map:

  • "I mean, she wasn't armed like a lot of these whackados...I'd say she conducted herself just fine," one commenter wrote.
  • "She needs a mental health evaluation," another user opined.
  • "Freakin psycho.. she told someone to go kill themselves for standing up for their right to be self reliant," another commenter said. "She should lose her teaching license, she has uncontrollable rage."
  • "Should get a promotion and a bonus...the anti-lockdown protests are wrong," another user noted. "3 weeks of 100% adherance [sic] and it would be over already, but no..."

Unhinged leftist 'teacher' absolutely flips out on peaceful anti-lockdown protesters in Oregon: 'F*** all of you!'



You might say Oregon has been the unofficial epicenter of protests in 2020, with leftist groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter on a near-nightly basis occupying the streets of Portland and physically attacking local police and federal officers, destroying businesses, torching buildings, and intimidating anyone who gets in their way.

We also saw what happened when conservatives descended on Portland at the end of August and staged their own car rally protest in support of President Donald Trump: A "100% Antifa" militant appeared to ambush a pro-police activist and fatally shot him before taking off into the night.

Now what?

Well, there was a protest of a different sort in over the weekend in Bend, Oregon — about three hours southeast of Portland — and these demonstrators were protesting against governmental coronavirus lockdowns.

As has been typical of protests involving conservatives and Trump supporters, the anti-lockdown gathering at the intersection of Northwest Greenwood Avenue and Northwest Wall Street was peaceful.

That is, until a self-proclaimed "teacher" stopped her Subaru and absolutely flipped out on demonstrators holding their signs on the sidewalk. Fortunately a cellphone camera was rolling and caught the glorious moment for all of you to enjoy.

What did she scream?

Oh, it's already clear where this is headed.

"I'm a f***ing teacher! I work in schools!" she screams before re-educating her listeners with what one might characterize as social studies for the new millennium. "F*** you! F*** you! I am a teacher! I teach students!"

All the while the protesters simply turn up their own volume — and some simply laugh at the lunacy-filled moment.

"Our families are dying!" she hollers, her voice cracking as it pitches upward into Mariah Carey territory.

She then hollers "F*** all of you!" — as if the point needed underscoring — before finally making her left turn (pun not intended ... or maybe it is) away from demonstrators as they chant "USA! USA! USA!"

According to the Associated Press, the demographics of Bend have shifted from Republican in the 1990s to Democrat at present as more people from left-leaning areas of California moved in.

The growth of registered Democrats "could be a reflection of the political party affiliation of the new residents, rather than longtime locals shifting their party affiliation," economist Damon Runberg told the AP.
