Linking to a report from conservative website Breitbart.com stating over 5,000 teachers have signed a petition saying they will defy any ban on the teaching of critical race theory, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called for mass firings which brought out the critics who pointed out her own educational history which included being a high school drop-out.
Referring to the petition-signing educators, Boebert wrote, "Here's a list of 5,000 teachers that need to be relieved of their positions."
That opened the door for critics of Boebert --who spends a great part of her time on Twitter -- to point that she didn't bother to get her GED until months before she was elected to office and only at the urging at Republican campaign consultants.
You can see Boebert getting schooled by Twitter commenters below:

You\u2019re handing out advice to teachers? I just have no statement to something as absurd as this one\u2026.— kdiamond \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc99 (@kdiamond \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc99) 1625930639
I\u2019ll take this one down to your level. You started it. CRT is taught in law school to examine the effects of racism. History is taught in K-12 with no discussion of racism. The GOP conflated and blew up the issue to promote racism/fear/hate. We are where we are now thanks to you— Dawn (@Dawn) 1625931437

No no we already know your not a big fan of education.— lori urso (@lori urso) 1625930662
I\u2019m not sure that a high school dropout who only received their GED because it was suggested by her party to do so\u2026 who flunked the GED exam twice before passing it\u2026should speak on matters of education. You literally couldn\u2019t succeed at a basic human task.— Eric McKinley Thompson (@Eric McKinley Thompson) 1625930750
So scripted, Lowrent. \nDo you ever have a thought that isn't emailed or texted to you? \nYou didn't stay in school long enough to have an opinion worth consideration on the subject.\nSo terrified of history. Sad.— Schr\u00f6dinger's Litter Box (@Schr\u00f6dinger's Litter Box) 1625930172

Get kids to dropout after they get that eighth grade diploma, just like Boebert did. Look how knowledgeable and sophisticated she is on issues like booze, barrooms, and backseats.— john vanada kelley (@john vanada kelley) 1625930675

...you quit school. You don't know shit about teachers. Shut up. Fuck.— RaJean (@RaJean) 1625930398
A high school dropout is now telling us who is and isn't qualified to be a teacher— Louis (@Louis) 1625929946
Hey GED Barbie, CRT is taught predominantly in law school. It is a legal concept. What is taught in k-12 and undergraduate in college is history. You can't "whitewash" history. But you didn't go to college so you wouldn't understand that.— Lonely Indiana Democrat (@Lonely Indiana Democrat) 1625931827
You\u2019re the last person who should be talking about whether or not a teacher is qualified for their job.— Will Koenig #vaccinated (@Will Koenig #vaccinated) 1625931147
