Student calls Walpole High School teacher a ‘Communist’ for not letting him watch USA Olympic hockey, gets detention

School is about doing school work, not watching the Olympics.  It’s not like the World Series or something. 

Fansided reports the United States men’s hockey team is doing incredibly well, as is the women’s team for that matter. Everyone across the country is trying to watch as much USA Olympic hockey as they can, but sometimes teachers and bosses get in the way.


One person shared a story involving his brother and a teacher who wouldn’t let him watch. The student then responded by calling the teacher a communist, three times.

The reader wrote to Barstool Sports:
My little brother goes to Walpole High School and on Thursday asked to watch the USA vs. Slovakia game during Spanish class. When his teacher said no he called her a communist. She gave him a detention for it. Attached is a picture of the detention slip she gave him. VIVA.

The note is dated 2/13 (see below), which means it was the USA’s 7-1 beat down of Slovakia.

Personally I haven’t watched one minute of the games in Sochi.
