For those interested, here is another source about some of the underlying concerns being asked about:
Time to review that tax-exempt status, even if the church is supporting the same candidate as me.

Former Harris aide: Biden should resign so she can serve as president (usatoday.com)
More specifically, the following quote of this former aide:
My specific âbeefâ is that hereâs a suggestion that seems to place âpersonal feelingsâ above âdoing the right thing and leading by exampleâ.

I think Biden stepping down and making Harris the first woman to be President on a blatantly performative level would be terrible.

To be honest it wonât achieve anything really so it is not worth doing. I think itâs just talk to rile up people on the other side.
Agree. I can understand the emotional appeal of a sticking a finger in someoneâs eye, Iâd be worried the owner of the eye may not be who was intended.

Right. Nixon âpresided over his own defeatâ. So did Humphrey and Gore.
Add in Dan Quayle and Walter Mondale and Mike Pence who presided over their defeat as VPOTUS candidates, and Nelson Rockefeller presided over the defeat of his boss.

Right⌠most famous of all. I edited my post.
Special ed teacher in Connecticut is removed from her position after a post-election anti-Trump/anti-Trump-supporters message, supposedly intended to be a private message to someone else on Snapchat, is shared and goes viral on TikTok.
If it was her own personal social media then itâs her freedom of expression. But as a teacher and thus an inherently public figure, she should have known better. (Just because you can do something, doesnât mean you should.)
That said, another question is if whoever posted what was allegedly a private communication in public did the digital equivalent of secretly recording a conversation and then publicizing that (and if CT has laws concerning that issue).
Not sure if this is the ârightâ thread . . . and this isnât a political person making the statement . . .
But itâs rather concerning, nonetheless.
But kudos for the quick response to address the issue!

Eh. Threatening people is a darndest thing. As a Special Ed Teacher, youâd think sheâd have more sympathy for Trump voters.
(BOOM!)

Yeah, that behavior isnât acceptable. Unless youâre the president and you donât want to help CA after wild fires. Thatâs totally legal and totally cool.

Hasnât stopped teachers for being fired for performing on Only Fans or posing nude before they ever started their job.
