    Do you live in the Georgia county where she was fired? I bet the answer is no. Then why do you think it is your tax money funding the payment? Do you even live in the US?

      Did you know counties get federal money to fund schools? Yeah. It’s true. Wild.

        What percentage of your tax dollars ended up in that Georgia county to fund a 300k settlement. Probably zero. Assuming it was 100% was funded with federal dollars, let’s do the math: about 50% of the federal tax revenue (5 trillion) came from individual income taxes (2.4 trillion). The average us taxpayer pays 14k in taxes each year. Do the math on a 300k payout and that equals .000875 cents came from each taxpayer. With that said federal monies to school districts are typically earmarked… So the most likely scenario is zero money came from the poster.

          An injustice to any is an injustice to all. Even if you didn’t personally pay taxes, you should still be outraged at government censorship if you call yourself an American.

            I didn’t say i wasn’t outraged. However I’m not falling for the trite little ragebaiter’s argument about “myuah taxes!!!”. I can’t imagine a person that looks at the situation and says “please…not my taxes!”. That’s like a"christian" getting mad at a trans library reading, but merely tut tutting when the pastor sexually assaults a 5 year old. Stop clutching your goddamn pearls instead of actually doing something!
