The Stephen Miller debacle keeps getting uglier
Stephen Miller, the white supremacist creep who has spearheaded Donald Trump’s criminal plot to lock immigrant children in cages, is back in the news this week for two distinct reasons. First, and most importantly, he’s now pushing for even more kids to be locked in cages. Second, it turns out Miller was just as much of a creepy weirdo back when he was eight years old as he is today – and now his former teacher has gotten in trouble.
Stephen Miller’s former third grade teacher has either been suspended or reassigned, depending on which major news outlet’s interpretation you want to go with, two days after she told The Hollywood Reporter that Miller has always been a disturbing individual. Most notably, she said that Miller liked to pour “glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.” This is troubling for a couple of reasons.
You’re free to feel however you want about whether the teacher should have told this kind of thing to the media. On the one hand, she was arguably disclosing private information about a former student for political reasons. On the other hand, the other kids in the class all witnessed it as well, so it’s not exactly some kind of medical secret, and she’s also trying to warn people about a guy who’s currently on a crime spree against humanity.
But the bottom line is this: if Stephen Miller’s former teacher is in danger of losing her job for trying to warn people that there’s a dangerously deranged wacko running the White House, why isn’t Stephen Miller’s job in danger for being a dangerously deranged wacko in the White House? Then again, Miller works for Donald Trump, who is also dangerously deranged – and we don’t need anyone’s third grade teacher to tell us that.
