MAGAts frothing at the mouth over a bloody T-shirt

[edbermac]

T-shirts — covered in fake blood and bearing the words “Problem Solved” — have sent outrage through the Cienega High School community after a group of math teachers wore the matching garb to class as Halloween costumes.

Some parents contended in social media posts that the shirts were a reference to the Sept. 10 killing of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot in the left side of his neck in front of a crowd of supporters in Utah.

The shirts, blood-soaked down the left side, drew the attention of angry residents who found the costumes distasteful and political in nature, according to posts showing the group of teachers posing together in the outfits.

But Vail School District Superintendent John Carruth said the shirts, available for purchase all over the web, were bought and worn last year as well, long before Kirk’s death.

Of course on Twitter, they’re busy little beavers doing everything they can to dox the teachers.

I saw some reviews on Amazon. that were at least a year old, but that doesn’t matter to the MAGA faithful.

1. Completely aside from the imagined political insult

These shirts seem unnecessarily provocative, given the enormous number of school shootings. I could give a shit what magats think, but I personally might have thought twice about wearing bloody shirts around school kids.

2. Yes. Grotesque. I would be outraged if I were a parent there.

5. I agree. It shows a lack of good sense. If I had kids there, I would have complained, & I am a progressive Democrat.

28. Tinker b. Des Moines they can wear it

Pretty simple constitutional law application

[tblue37]

34. What they can do is not the same as what it is appropriate to do.

[fujiyamasan]

7. I don't find them school appropriate at all

Even for Halloween. I think there can be some guidelines.

I say this as someone that has dressed in provocative Halloween costumes myself, but as an adult and at a Halloween party.

10. I think this hand-wringing over a shirt high schoolers would see is ridiculous

[Melon]

17. School should be neutral ground for all beliefs.

[Hope22]

18. And void of bloody clothes

Fake or real!

[SamuelTheThird]

30. They see 10000X worse in streaming services

This is over-the-top.

[Hope22]

32. Streaming on their own time and wish is another thing altogether

being accosted by blood clothed people in a place where they have to go by law and have a chance of being shot on any given day. I hope you can see the difference. Not everybody does blood and gore. Especially young people with their own anxieties and PTSD.

25. "Problem solved"

Like a math problem. They are math teachers.

[demmiblue]

35. I agree.

Very poor judgement, imo.

Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

All those dead school children were 'worth' it to Charlie.

4. I hate crybaby shit over Halloween costumes

Infantile and unserious.

[Hope22]

33. I agree.....those cry baby kids

Should sit down and take it. If they can’t see a little blood, fake or real, their teachers, or their own while sitting in a building they themselves could be shot some day in then they should get the f over the humor anyone else sees in bloodied costumes.

[IcyPeas]

6. It is kinda gross.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

9. Best response to the magats would be: Hey, it's a Jefferson approved "Tree of Liberty" tee!

[Renew Deal]

11. What problem is solved?

It's in poor taste at minimum. It seems more like a message than a Halloween costume.

[BannonsLiver]

29. According to the story these shirts have been around longer than Kirk's death.

And the ensuing histrionics from the right over his death. While the timing is maybe suboptimal these are Halloween shirts.

[Renew Deal]

36. I get that. But what problem is solved?

[Jack Valentino]

12. I suspect maggots would likewise hate my prospective T-shirt offering memorializing Thomas Crooks,

"A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country"

[Solly Mack]

13. The struggle to solve a mathematical problem is real.

But as words are tools and sometimes a weapon, connections aren't always a given.

[Sogo]

14. The video I saw showed him getting shot on the right side of his neck.

nt.

[TheProle]

15. Nope

[NickB79]

38. He was shot on the right side

The bullet exited the left side, causing massive blood loss from the exit wound.

[CanonRay]

16. When aren't they frothing at the mouth?

I mean, it's constant.

[pwb]

19. Owning MAGA

is hard for pukes.

[Emile]

20. MAGATS are so thin skin and judgemental.

[lees1975]

21. Freedom of conscience...

speech, expression, yeah it's all a bitch huh?

[Polybius]

22. We all should be

It's a disgusting shirt.

[gulliver]

23. Looks like the teachers apologized

As well they should. I didn't see anything that indicated one of the teachers explaining what the shirt meant. It could be that it's just stupid. Or it could be five stupid people being led into a stupid act by one worthless jerk. That's what happens a lot.

I think a responsible school administrator would definitely call each teacher in and ask them what was meant by "Problem Solved." If it's political at all, even if it's not about Charlie Kirk, it's probably a firing offense.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. While I Agree With...

...your opinion about this not belonging in school, I read this differently.
Given the tie in to Halloween, I think this was a horror bit.
"Somebody is a problem? Do the slasher solution."
So, I think it's not at all political. Just in very bad taste.

[mr715]

26. Math

They are wearing halloween themed math shirts, which requires the solving of problems.

[Pisces]

27. This shirt is horrible for a school event. I'm no magat, just a mother. No thanks

[BannonsLiver]

31. This is typical pedestrian Halloween attire. It's a nothingburger.

That a bunch of thin skinned MAGAt scumbag drama clowns got their feelers hurt is not news.

[Conjuay]

37. (As if math teachers aren't hated enough.)

Sounds like it's time for a job fair in Pima County.
