Elizabeth Warren Lied Again, This Time About Being Fired For Being Pregnant
Elizabeth Warren can no longer brag about the oppression she did not experience due to not being a Cherokee.
But oppression is everything to the left -- a good story about how oppression stopped you from achievement is better than any actual achievement -- so she concocted a new lie about being oppressed, this time about being fired from her teaching job due to being "visibly pregnant."
First up: That's insane. Teaching has long been a career dominated by women. I'm pretty sure they've long had the women-might-get-pregnant-and-need-months-off thing figured out.
This is like claiming an engineering company fired a man for liking Star Trek.
Second thing: She has previously explained that she left this job not due to being fired due to pregnancy, but by her own choice, being "restless" and just not liking teaching.
She taught for a year and started graduate school to obtain her certificate so she could receive a permanent position at the school. She ultimately walked away from teaching and went to law school.
"I was married at nineteen and graduated from college after I’d married, and my first year post-graduation I worked in a public school system with the children with disabilities. I did that for a year, and then that summer I didn’t have the education courses, so I was on an 'emergency certificate,' it was called," Warren explained.
"I went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, 'I don’t think this is going to work out for me.' I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?' My husband’s view of it was, 'Stay home. We have children, we’ll have more children, you’ll love this.' And I was very restless about it."
"So, I went back home to Oklahoma — by this point we were living in New Jersey because of his job — I went back home to Oklahoma for Christmas and saw a bunch of the boys that I had been in high school debate with and they’d all gone on to law school, and they said, 'You should go to law school. You’ll love it,'" Warren recounted. "'I said, 'You really think so?' And they said, 'Of all of us, you should have gone to law school. You’re the one who should've gone to law school.' So, I took the tests, applied to law school, and the day my daughter, who later became my co-author, turned two, I started law school at Rutgers Law School in New Jersey, which at the time had the nickname of being the 'People’s Electric Law Company,' a really crazy place.
No one fired her -- she simply choose to pursue a more prestigious, higher-paying career.
But saying "I turned away from teaching to make big money" doesn't play well in the Democrat primary, so she made up a story about being forced out due to pregnancy.
The Washington Free Beacon now proves this -- they've discovered proof that far from being fired due to her pregnancy, the school actually drew up a contract for another year's work and presented it to her.
She declined, apparently.
he Riverdale Board of Education approved a second-year teaching contract for a young Elizabeth Warren, documents show, contradicting the Democratic presidential candidate’s repeated claims that she was asked not to return to teaching after a single year because she was "visibly pregnant."
Minutes of an April 21, 1971, Riverdale Board of Education meeting obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show that the board voted unanimously on a motion to extend Warren a "2nd year" contract for a two-days-per-week teaching job. That job is similar to the one she held the previous year, her first year of teaching. Minutes from a board meeting held two months later, on June 16, 1971, indicate that Warren’s resignation was "accepted with regret."
Coming soon:
Elizabeth Warren liespains that "family lore" has long held that she was fired due to her pregnancy, and who are you to question her gam-gam?
