Democrats Dismissed From Class

Tulsa, OK-- Daniel Reddy and his 13-year-old son, Lane went in for a hunters safety class Tuesday night at South Intermediate High School in Broken Arrow. What they walked out with, was a lesson they didn't expect to be learning from their volunteer instructor.

"His question to the class was 'Who here voted for the man in office?' He was referring to our current President," said Reddy.

Reddy then raised his hand -- that he voted for President Barack Obama.

He couldn't believe what he heard next.

"He said 'You may be dismissed,' he said. 

Reddy says that's just what he and his son did-- they left the class.

"He mentioned to the class that he will not teach a liberal. The party in power is the next thing to the Anti-Christ."

The instructor, who wished to remain anonymous, doesn't deny it happened.

"It just struck me, the hypocrisy that people have to vote against hunting and shooting," he said.

An advocate for gun rights, he says he wanted to make a point.

"Everybody's worried about a worst-case scenario that we would have to get guns to defend ourselves against people who would run amok."

How he went about making this point, he says, was wrong.

"It later settled on me that I was kind of shocked that I'd done that."

Lane says from all this, he's learned a very important lesson.

"I learned never to listen to when people when they say you should believe what they believe," said Lane Dunkley. "You might accidentally release Pandora's Box."

The instructor says he'll no longer be volunteering with the wildlife department.

Reddy says the department offered to conduct a private class at the family's home.

I believe this instructor made a mistake. I also believe that respondents like Newtler need some mental health. This individual is a worse case hate monger that gives the Democratic Party a really bad name. He reminds me of some Democrats who want to eliminate free speech and yet use this type of language in their speech.Get help Newtler you really need it before you buy a gun and go out and kill innocent people. You have too much Hate in you.

Do you think this is freedom of speech, or is it just plain discrimination? Join in on our forums for further discussion here: http://community.fox23.com/forums/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=3721872#3721872

WOW,Hard to believe. As a real Sportsman and Outdoors man, I believe it's our Jobs as Hunters to teach Kids to enjoy the Outdoors just as we did, Not run them off because of some Political bull. Sounds like the Instructor fits right in with the Politicians. The Government will Never take away our Guns. That is as long as we teach our Children to use them Safely and Responsibly!!!! Classy
