Teacher Maria Spero kicks student for wearing GOP shirt

(Hat tip to JoanneJacobs.com)

A Durango, Colorado college teacher named Maria Spero kicked a student in the leg for wearing a “College Republicans” sweat shirt.  But not to worry—it was a white male Republican, and chances are he was straight, so no biggie. 

He was showing people his College Republicans sweat shirt, which said “Work for us now … or work for us later,” when Maria Spero kicked him in the leg at an off-campus restaurant. 

According to the student, Spero then said she “should have kicked me harder and higher.” 

Maria Spero apologized to the student in a letter dated Oct. 29. She said, “I acted entirely inappropriately by kicking you, giving vent to a thoughtless knee-jerk political reaction that should never have happened. Before the incident, I did not know you and that you are a Fort Lewis student.” 

See, it would have been OK if he wasn’t a student—merely a Republican supporter. 

The college also formally apologized, apparently, but the student said the apology wasn’t enough and he plans to file a complaint with the college. 

Apparently the only phone number listed in Durango for the surname Maria Spero was constantly busy Saturday.

I imagine it will be for a while.
