Supporters of Sacramento teacher who discussed Antifa with his class want him reinstated

Supporters of a Sacramento teacher, who Natomas Unified leaders say will be fired for discussing Antifa with his class, are asking him to be reinstated, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Antifa is an anti-racist and anti-racist political movement.

The conservative group, Project Veritas, filmed the Inderkum High School teacher, Gabriel Gipe, talking to his students about becoming revolutionaries. Gipe also had political signs in the classroom and was stamping his students’ work with images of Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro and Kim Jung Un, according to the Sacramento Bee article.

A statement from the district said that Gipe had violated the Education Code and was teaching pro-communism ideology in class.

Civil rights attorney Mark Mervin said the district made this decision without due process.
