2 toned photograph of a school hallway which has a bright window at the end. A silhouette of student is in a crouch position opening his locker. The lighting is a warm afternoon light casting a yellow glow. — Child abuse by a teacher

Just came across this on Twitter and it makes my blood boil. An Indiana teacher follows a high school student down a hallway and slaps him hard across the face, causing the kid to hit his head on the wall and crumple to the ground. He apparently was angry about the kid wearing a hoodie.

📸Caught on Camera: A teacher slaps a student at Jimtown High School.
The teacher, Mike Hosinski, was fired after slapping a student so hard, his head hit the wall behind him, apparently because of his hoodie.
Last night the school board granted Hosinski full retirement benefits. pic.twitter.com/rTec3t5gWz

Trigger warning-hard to watch as he hits him pretty hard.

The teacher was fired but given full benefits (not sure if the board was able to take away those benefits, although if they could have they sure as hell should have). Hopefully he gets sued by the parents and has to pay out a lot of money.

A little farther down the thread, someone posted that this same jerkwad had put up political and religious bumper stickers in his classroom, and he was forced to remove them following a complaint by an atheist group.

So the same guy as this story from 2019 here, right? https://t.co/N8Usvx4niF

This guy had no business being around students-at least he is now “retired” and no longer at the high school.

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 24: Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on oversight of the Justice Department and a probe into the politicization of the department under Attorney General William Barr on Capitol Hill, June 24, 2020 in Washington, DC.

This is too rich. Jake Sherman received a tweet from a Gohmert aide about the congressman’s positive COVID-19 test.

The recklessness that republicans show about COVID-19 is simply inexcusable.

Most take this seriously, but not everyone. all it takes is one irresponsible person -- an armchair scientist who decides masks arenÃ¢ÂÂt for them, or their entire office should work in person in the middle of a pandemic -- for many of us to get sick with a virus that could kill us.

YET, THE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP refuses to require testing or masks for the people who come into the building each week.

TESTING FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS is up to Speaker NANCY PELOSI and Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL. The White House has offered it to the Hill.

CREDIT WHERE ITÃ¢ÂÂS DUE, @pkcapitol says it the best: If youÃ¢ÂÂre a caddy on the PGA Tour or professional baseball player, youÃ¢ÂÂre facing a tougher Covid testing regime than members of Congress.

I think he makes an excellent point-why don’t Speakers Pelosi and McConnell mandate COVID-19 testing for all members of congress (and their aides)?

Okay, I was taking a break from the debate and saw that someone posted this on my Facebook page. I didn’t see it anywhere else on the site, so thought I’d post it to give everyone a much needed laugh. This comes from Don’t Feed the Trolls, and is quite inspired. I don’t know how to imbed videos, but you can find it here. Enjoy!
