Our buddy, Nickie<\/a>, sent us a link on Facebook about this “teacher” Jodi Rives Meier, a part-time Communication instructor at Butte College’s Chico, California campus, who wrote this about her students who are vets on Facebook<\/a>;<\/p>\n

There are reasons recruiters draw heavily from undereducated populations–two of them being they are often desperate and that uninformed folks ask fewer questions. Students with poor academic performance are almost universally encouraged to go into the military and, lord knows, their skills do not improve while in the service. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suspect that if she was a conservative and wrote that about any other group of Americans, the Left would be crawling up her ass with a microscope. And a woman like her, a liberal, would be leading the charge. But she’s not a conservative and she’s talking about veterans, one of those unpopular species of humans, so she gets all butt hurt when the media shows up at her door without warning. She writes on her Facebook page;<\/p>\n

So, it turns out, if you post a MILLION times about social causes–suicide prevention, mental health awareness, LGBT+ issues, rape culture, fiscal meltdowns, local theater–no one in the media could give a shit. But, post about the military–and get a few boys with hurt feewings–and Jerry Olenyn from whatever channel shows up on your doorstep pushing for a response on video for the “lead story at 6:30.” Which you’ve heard nothing about. And when you say you feel uncomfortable having a news reporter “ambush” you at your home–where he is uninvited and is not a public place–when you are in your pajamas on your day off, he gets a little testy about being offended at your attack on him. And then the neighbors call the police. And then he tries to make the police call part of the story. And then you are just sick to damn death with all the bullshit. So, watch it at 6:30, I guess.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You don’t have to wait until 6:30, you can see the video at this link<\/a>. She tells the interviewer with an analogy about rotten apples, that there’s something wrong with the barrel.<\/p>\n

First of all, I’m not surprised that her students who are veterans are having a rough time in her classes. Many of them just came back from a war, about which she knows nothing. Adjusting to a classroom after that experience might be tough. Apparently, instead of trying to help those students, she’d rather chastise the entire group. If veterans were a race, I’d say she’s a racist, but she’s just a bigoted turd.<\/p>\n

In an interview Rives said she stands by her posts adding that military personnel are being ill-served in preparing for civilian life.<\/p>\n

“I can’t show specific student work. But if I were able to do that, which I would not because it would violate their privacy … clearly, you would be able to see that these are people struggling with academic skills,” Rives said.<\/p>\n

In response to another person’s post, Rives discusses “military guys” having a large pool of people to rape, a comment she defended.<\/p>\n

“It’s not just the case of one or two incidents,” Rives said. “How many apples have to be bad before we suspect that the barrel has problems?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, we’re all stupid and we joined the military so we could rape people. This little bigot has no place in civil society. Maybe it’s not “the barrel” that’s the problem, Maybe it’s Jodi Rives Meier. After all students are only as good as their teacher.<\/p>\n

As @Yes, Nick Searcy! would say, she’s also fat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
