A teacher in Milwaukee has been suspended for saying that she was glad that conservative talk show host, and Medal of Freedom recipient, Rush Limbaugh, has been diagnosed with cancer.
The teacher was placed on leave after tweeting that Limbaugh “absolutely should have to suffer from cancer.”
Travis Sarandos, an English teacher at Milwaukee High School of the Arts, responded to a tweet from another social media user who hoped that Limbaugh would recover and begin advocating for health care reforms, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
Sarandos tweeted “Limbaugh absolutely should have to suffer from cancer. it’s awesome that he’s dying, and hopefully it is as quick as it is painful” in response, according to the outlet.
Milwaukee Public Schools confirmed to press that Sarandos has been placed on leave pending an investigation and that the educator was not speaking for the district or students and staff.
Limbaugh announced earlier this month during his nationally syndicated radio show that he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
President Trump broke with State of the Union tradition on Tuesday to recognize Limbaugh, who was a guest at the annual speech, and allow first lady Melania Trump to award him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans, who just received a stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet,” Trump said.
The party of intolerance, that has zero tolerance for intolerance, has been teaching students to hate for decades.
We need to clean house in our educational system. it is teaching our children that socialism works.
I soooo agree with your rational. What a disgrace so much of our educators have become with their children at their call. And this doesn’t stop at elementary school. Up through college.

A sick moron like Sarandos should not be allowed to teach children or adults
at any time or any place. How does a school justify hiring a disgusting lowlife
like this man? He is demented and psychotic.
Only a grade A loser would take delight in another’s diagnosis of such a devastating disease. You would think those who have squealed with delight over his sickness would have already learned to be very careful as they or one of their loved ones may find themselves in the same or worse predicament!
Shame on them, every one of them. This teacher got what they deserved.
