‘There are lots and lots of people out there who are in grave danger’

An Ohio English teacher is on leave after recording herself in what appears to be her classroom suggesting men should wear “blue bracelets or blue safety pins” to identify themselves as “safe” for non-Trump voters.

Danielle Mann (pictured), a 26-year veteran educator at Talawanda High School who also teaches a “Holocaust Resistance” course and is advisor to the school Gay-Straight Alliance, made the recording two days after the election.

She begins by saying she “did not think we would be” in another Trump-victory situation.

“I have a challenge for people out there,” Mann says in the video obtained by Libs of TikTok. “If you are, or know, a man … of any color, any background, any nationality, any ethnic group, any religion … who voted blue … you wear the blue bracelet, you wear the safety pin.”

Mann “challenges” such men to post their own videos to TikTok and other platforms so people like her could “thank” them and have it “on the record” as to who the “safe” males are.

Such videos also would allow people to know these men “tried to do right by the people of this country.”

Mann goes on to claim women are now in “danger” and says that even though she’s a white woman, “they will get to [her] eventually.”

“There are lots and lots of people out there who are in grave danger,” Mann says, and then refers to President-elect Trump as an “orange bag of vomit.”

Mann concludes by saying “The same people that say ‘not all men’ … (long pause) … are … it … we need to figure out which ones you are. That’s what we do. That’s what we need.”

The Talawanda City School District put Mann on paid administrative leave Friday and would offer no further comment, The Miami Student, the Miami (Ohio) University student paper, reported.

On Saturday, the Student featured two Talawanda parents who defended Mann. One said he worried about the teacher being “harassed” and “probably” getting death threats, while the other said she “disagrees with the backlash Mann is facing online” because she “looked like someone who was just quite sad and shaken about the election.”

According to US News, Talawanda High School is almost 90 percent white with 57 percent of the student body proficient in math and 76 percent in reading.
