Title: 'Liberals' kicked out of hunter safety class
Wayne in WA State - March 8, 2009 08:10 AM (GMT)
Thirteen-year-old Lane Dunkley just wanted to go hunting with his grandfather.
What he got was a lecture on politics.
Dunkley and his father Daniel Reddy, who live in Tulsa, went to Broken Arrow Tuesday night for a hunter safety course normally required to get an Oklahoma hunting license.
The class was a reward of sorts. Dunkley, who wants to go hunting with his aging grandfather, was told he could only if he brought his grades up.
So he did - to a B-plus average.
But when father and son arrived at the lesson, the volunteer instructor, Kell Wolf, asked if any of the students voted for President Obama.
Reddy, a transplanted Californian - and ex-Marine - raised his hand.
According to Reddy and others in the room, Wolf called Obama “the next thing to the Anti-Christ” and ordered Reddy and Dunkley from the room. When Reddy refused, Wolf said he would not teach “liberals” and would cancel the course if Reddy didn’t leave.
So Reddy and Dunkley left, as did a few others.
Lance Meek, hunter education coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, said Wolf had been a volunteer instructor for “a long time, probably 15 years or more” and “from what we’ve heard and observed, had always done a great job. He worked with the kids really well.”
But when Meek received a call Wednesday morning - from someone other than the Reddys - he said he had no choice.
“I got the call at 8:30, and by 9 o’clock (Wolf) was no
longer a volunteer for us," Meek said.
Contacted Friday, Wolf had no comment on the matter. Meek said when he talked briefly to Wolf on Wednesday, Wolf did not deny ordering Reddy from the class or offer an explanation.

A grown man who refuses to teach someone based on who they voted for, once again the maturity level of the republiKKKlan party amazes me :!:

The republiKKKlan party is known as the RACIST and BIGOT party. Nothing has changed and probably never will. :angry:

I'm glad to know that the hunter education coordinator didn't let the jerk get by with it. The guy needs to not be able to teach another class period, though, with his prejudice attitude. :spikey:

It isn't any of his business who voted for which candidate- what a prick! :mad:
