Science teacher posts about his “sniper rifle” in response to climate activist Greta Thunberg’s visit
Baish teaches science at Waterloo West High School. He posted the alarming comment in response to the question “who’s all going?” about Thunberg’s trip to Iowa City the following day. Baish responded “don’t have my sniper rifle,” clearly implying that the only way he would attend such an event would be if he had the opportunity to harm Thunberg.
While the comment was soon deleted, outraged people fired back at him in their own comments. Then, screenshots were captured and posted to the Waterloo Community School District’s Facebook page.
