'Cough On Trump' Cash Offer Exposed; Teacher Wants COVID-19 Positive People To Infect President

A public school teacher from Rhode Island is offering anyone who is COVID-19 positive to cough on President Donald Trump.

Aimee "Amy" Bednarz works as a 6th-grade educator and an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher at the Woonsocket's Villa Nova Middle School. She offered her cash bounty to cough on the president on Twitter, but the account has reportedly been deleted after she received a lot of negative feedback for her offer.

The account was supposed to be an anonymous social media profile with the user name Proud Teacher @Justme0774. However, it was not hard for the public to figure her out as Bednarz often posted details, including a link to her public Facebook profile, to this Twitter account.

Her LinkedIn profile, on the other hand, indicated that she has worked for various public schools around Massachusetts -- Brockton, Southbridge, and Fall River.

Bednarz has a history of threatening the president of the National Parents Union, Keri Rodriguez. Her hostility towards Rodriguez prompted the official to write a blog in 2017, which detailed how Bednarz has threatened her and her children over the phone.

"Amy has even done her research to find out the name of the street I live on and even my phone number, which she calls on a regular basis," Rodriguez wrote.

Villa Nova Middle School administrators have not yet commented on Bednarz. However, her name is still in the school's staff directory.

The U.S. Justice Department has repeatedly warned that anyone who intentionally spreads COVID-19 could be charged with acts of terrorism as coronavirus may be regarded as a "biological agent." Some of these charges may be punishable by life imprisonment.

Meanwhile, in February, a high school teacher from Baltimore presented a PowerPoint slide in her AP class to compare President Trump to the Nazis and the Soviet Union communists. The Baltimore County Public Schools issued a statement to the media to explain the slide.

"The slide was used as part of a lesson in an AP History course. The topics being discussed included World Wars and the attempts by some leaders to limit, or prevent migration, into certain countries. In isolation and out of context with the lesson, the image could be misunderstood," the statement read. " This lesson was not intended to make a political statement."
