the guy was disciplined last year for "toxic masculinity" and this is his comeback
there is speculation that he is trying to get fired so he can sue the school board.

Yea, this smells like a troll on an epic level.  :lol:   

I took one look at the photo and there is no way this isn't someone with some kind of agenda.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Go big or go home, right?! :lol:

Definitely an agenda.

Overall, we rate PJ Media to be Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies, as well as numerous failed fact checks.

Not fact checks. Simply a rating system that attempts to determine how biased and to which side a site is tilted towards. It looks pretty close to me but I do understand why you don't like it.  ;)

You should really try some of the sources below. 

These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes).  The reporting is factual and usually sourced.  These are the most credible media sources.

I know, only pure, unadulterated, right wing wacko propaganda for you.  :hrhr:

Associated press is rated high for factual reporting and credibility so it's definitely not to your taste.  :fish:

Overall, we rate the Associated Press Left-Center Biased due to left-leaning editorializing of news stories and frequently conducting fact checks on conservatives. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

Allsides is another media bias checker. I believe that one was started by conservative leaning people. They don't do fact checks but their bias ratings are very similar to the other site. 

"AllSides was founded in 2012 by John Gable, a former Republican political aide turned Silicon Valley manager working at Netscape, and Scott McDonald, a software developer."

I cancelled my subscription to my local paper during the Trump Administration over their continual use of AP
articles. They were pure BS, anti Trump screeds without a shred of fact in them.
If you want to believe AP articles, that is your right to do so.
I wouldn't line a catbox with the stuff AP puts out.

The left/right rating looks from a small sample size to be pretty close. I didn't see where they were rated as far as factual reporting and credibility which I think is important. For example,

The AllSides Bias Rating™ for The Gateway Pundit is far right. This is because the website actively posts articles supporting presidential candidate Donald Trump, while tearing down Secretary Hillary Clinton. The Gateway Pundit was founded in 2004 by two brothers. With community feedback and more research, the bias rating of far right is subject to change.

Well, no shit. I'm sure the people who read that shit know that so it's not really helpful. Hell, that's exactly why they go there.

Why can't a right leaning media bias web site just come out and say the shit people read there is conspiracy nonsense or outright lies and recommend they go somewhere more reliable to get their info?

I do like how they offer headlines from different outlets. A little left bias, a little right bias. I didn't see any "stop the steal" or QANON bullshit so it looked like the chose real news articles. But also from a small sample size they compared a left leaning site with high factual and credibility rating with a site with a questionable rating, so not as useful as it could be maybe?
