Teacher suspended after threatening Donald Trump supporters in furious Snapchat clips

A teacher has been suspended after threatening supporters in a violent Snapchat video as she vowed they would "end up on a stretcher" if they “tested their gangster” on her.

Chapman School special education teacher Annie Dunleavy launched a foul-mouthed tirade against Trump's supporters after the video, which has gone viral with over 7 million views since Wednesday, see her threatening to hurt President-elect Donald Trump's voters.

“Just because you won doesn’t mean we don’t remember who the f*** you voted for,” she says in the clip. “Please don’t test your gangster on me because you will end on a stretcher, gone forever. So serious.”

“If you voted for Trump please delete me, block me, get rid of everything of me or step to me so that I know what’s up and I can handle you how I see fit,” she added. “Please just come forward, we f***ing know.”

The Cheshire Police Department in Connecticut has launched an investigation into the teacher's comments and suspended her. "This investigation is still on-going and there is no further information available at this time," the department wrote.

Connecticut state Sen. Rob Sampson criticised the video saying the conduct is unbecoming of a public school teacher. “Such behaviour must not be tolerated in any school system,” Mr Sampson said. “Education should equip students to think critically and independently, not to impose personal political views on them.”

The Connecticut Educator’s Association (CEA) called for a “civil” discussion of the election following the video In a statement to Crisis in the Classroom (CITC) on Wednesday morning it said: “CEA values the right to free speech and respects the diverse opinions of our members” . “We know that emotions can run high after an election, and we encourage everyone to engage in respectful conversations as part of our democratic process. Keeping our discussions civil and focused is important in maintaining a positive environment in our schools.”

However, parents were unhappy with the video and said it didn't matter whether you voted left or right, teachers need to be "cognitive" of what they say. “So, whether you agree politically or not, it doesn’t matter,” Cheshire parent Ian Anctil told .

“You’re a teacher and educator educating our kids. You need to be cognitive of who’s going to hear what you say, whether it’s not intended for the public or not.”
