Ridiculous

enlighten1111.bsky.social•57 days ago

Proud and grateful for those brave enough to speak out against tyranny!

ericbaker1199.bsky.social•57 days ago

While I agree with your reaction, let’s not clutch our pearls. It was probably the “arrest” and not “why” he was arrested that cost the coaching gig. Most school systems have a clause for this

serenitycalls.bsky.social•57 days ago

They were real lucky to have this professional coaching their children. Fools! Were they actually after saving money and needed an excuse to drop staff!

rhizomaticon.bsky.social•57 days ago

This is a Huntington Beach-specific problem. The whole city is MAGA so of course they would retaliate.

birdergal.bsky.social•57 days ago

Wow, he literally took one for the team (resistance)...good for him! Hopefully he will be in demand for employment by saner citizens.

mommamia.bsky.social•57 days ago

WHATTTTTT?

brightbluehen.bsky.social•57 days ago

Perhaps he'd consider running for Congress?

fairyg.bsky.social•57 days ago

Many Principals and school districts, especially in Orange County are MAGA Republicans. They are not worthy. Do not bother working for them.

We need more people like Chris Kluwe! Standing up for our Democracy, I hope the Senate and supreme courts does too. Our children depends on it….

Support from me! Thank you, Chris Kluwe.

thinkingurl.bsky.social•57 days ago

Surely we can help him find an even better job and shame on Edison High school for not recognizing their role in supporting the tyranny.

larrytenney.bsky.social•57 days ago

Edison High School has a history of bowing to MAGA

thinkingurl.bsky.social•57 days ago

Awful. I'm sure students at the school appreciated having a coach that was a safe space and person to stand with them and now the school has taken that away.

the-white-rose.bsky.social•57 days ago

Of course! Anything less would be considered dereliction of duty.
GOD what a bunch of absolute wankers.

odeecs.bsky.social•57 days ago

Please remember, though, that the overworked office manager is not the person making these decisions, so ask them to take a note for the principal.

You have to know that HB is notorious for backing right wing Nazis, so I'm only surprised that anyone is surprised!

Sounds like an honorable man to me. 💪🏾💯✊🏾

denverguy.com•57 days ago

Thanks for your example! Shame on your school! With upcoming changes, they’ll probably be better off with the publicity.

bettyhumpter25.bsky.social•57 days ago

Well done👏

Get him another coaching job where he is appreciated for his leadership.

We need more leaders like Chris Kluwe
(and John Lewis)

aajonesy68.bsky.social•57 days ago

Go fund me for him....he is braver than most.

schrodingersleft.bsky.social•57 days ago

Sorry standing up to fascism cost him his job.
Fascists don't like being called out.
Find a new job and keep doing the right thing.

nota-karen.bsky.social•57 days ago

Does he have a go fund me for legal fees to fight this in court? #FreedomOfSpeech

mistressjgoodboy.bsky.social•57 days ago

STOP CALLING THE SCHOOL! It will do nothing. Keyboard an phone warriors don't do much. Someone find him a Job and then go do something effective. Like vote for Al

mariesmith99.bsky.social•57 days ago

He probably wasn’t doing the job for the money, but for the kids.

He won’t have any trouble getting another coaching gig. He has shown himself to be a man of integrity.

amy4opus.bsky.social•57 days ago

The bigger problem is, even if it doesn't hurt Chris Kluwe that much, the message goes out to everyone that you may lose your job for speaking out and resisting.

It has a chilling effect.

mariesmith99.bsky.social•57 days ago

I know. All of us are going to have to make the decision whether to accept life under a dictatorship or fight back.

When trump orders the military to shoot protesters, people will start losing their lives.

It’s the real fork in the road right now.

These are the Huntington Beach Union High School District board members who ultimately have the authority over whether Kluwe has a job at Edison High School or not:

What a loss for the school who fired him! Now go explain to the kids why you fired him! 😡 good luck with that!

cmcmillin.bsky.social•57 days ago

Wondering what the school used as a reason to justify this, do you know?

stopplasticwaste.bsky.social•57 days ago

Chris said the school told him they were "getting too much attention & they had no choice but to let him go". What crap.

cmcmillin.bsky.social•57 days ago

Hardly sounds legal.

This is pure dicktatorship at this point. Agent Krasnov will not tolerate public dissent. Only unfettered adoration of every one of his idiotic ideas. And criminal acts.

larrytenney.bsky.social•57 days ago

This has been the MAGA GOP playbook in HB for years: revenge & retribution

It was a bogus charge too

ladywriter.bsky.social•57 days ago

If you listen to an interview with Chris, the reason he was given for being fired was that the school was receiving “too much attention.” It wasn’t because he was arrested at the city council meeting or because he was a bad coach.

larrytenney.bsky.social•57 days ago

Because the MAGA cabal that runs HB (Gracey VanDerMark, Tony Strickland & Shawn Steel) are all about revenge & retribution. Have been since they seized control
of the City Council

bbfarm5.bsky.social•57 days ago

Thank you for using your voice! More people need to do what you did!

forseofone.bsky.social•57 days ago

The cops that tackled Chris Kluwe were penalized for roughing the kicker.

Traitor gotta go.

Peace

jennjvn.bsky.social•57 days ago

Huntington Beach is so conservative, so MAGA, racist etc. So much. So it's unsurprising he lost his job, but still vile & deplorable. Kluwe is a person of integrity, I hope he'll land on his feet somewhere else.
