Teacher Booted from Classroom After Doxing Wrong Student, Linking to 'Hitler Youth'
President Donald Trump has pushed leftists so far toward their breaking point, it’s really quite breathtaking.
When Trump first took office, the left whined and cried while demanding the Electoral College be abolished. Then, they almost immediately began hurling unproven claims that Trump colluded with Russia.
Now, bouts of name-calling and meltdowns have given way to completely unhinged campaigns targeting minors whose sole sin is wearing “Make America Great Again” hats while being white.
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, the leftist media published distorted, biased coverage of an encounter between Covington Catholic High School students and a Native American man after rushing to judgment on a 3-minute video clip.
Eventually, the full video of the encounter went viral, completely debunking the media’s narrative.
Despite the completely false narrative, the left went into a frenzy. There were those joking about Covington students being thrown in wood chippers, for crying out loud.
But here’s the thing: Should we really have expected anything more from the dishonest leftist media or Hollywood elitists? Is anyone really surprised that they’ve collectively decided that ruining the lives of teenagers is worth it if it paints Trump in even the slightest of bad lights?
I can’t say I’m surprised by any of that.
What I am surprised about? A teacher joining in on the insanity. The media and Hollywood are focused on ratings, morals be damned. But a teacher? Their job is to protect, nurture and develop students.
That can’t be said about Mountain Ridge Middle School teacher Michelle Grissom in Colorado, according to a KUSA-TV report.
On a since-deleted Twitter account, Grissom allegedly tried to dox one of the Covington students involved in the now-infamous incident. That, in and of itself, is utterly despicable for a human being, let alone a teacher, to do to a minor.
But things were so much worse than that.
Not only did Grissom apparently get the identity of the child wrong, she seemed to show an utter lack of contriteness when the father of the incorrectly doxed child asked her to remove the offending tweets.
She even had the gall to refer to the Covington students as “#HitlerYouth.”
result of this teachers rush to judgement ..totally abhorrent behavior and inexcusable actions that need to have consequences…SHE IS TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS!!! (3/3) pic.twitter.com/1hjAMBagtr

“It wasn’t my son, he wasn’t even in D.C.,” the father, Dr. John Jackson, told KUSA-TV. “He was very shaken and upset. He feared that his future could be negatively impacted by having his name and picture associated with Hitler and the events in D.C.”
While the damage has already been done, justice, at least temporarily, seems to have been served.
“Michelle Grissom is currently on leave,” principal Shannon Clarke told Conservative Tribune, a brand of The Western Journal, in a statement Friday via email. “Please understand that I am unable to share specific details, as this is a personnel matter.”
From all indications, this is only a temporary removal. It should and hopefully will be a permanent removal. Even if that justice is not fully served, Grissom did get a taste of her own medicine.
According to a KDVR-TV report, a speaker at the Douglas County School Board meeting was escorted off the stage when he mentioned Grissom by name while addressing the Twitter controversy.
Whoops.
Conservative Tribune reached out to Grissom for comment via email but her account appears to have been disabled.
