Matt Gagnon discusses JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville High School, who posted violent threats against Trump supporters on Facebook. St. Germain later apologized, attributing her actions to severe insomnia and a mental breakdown caused by past abuse. Gagnon criticizes the use of the “trauma card” as an excuse for inappropriate behavior, especially in a teaching role.
