""I can take the hits, I'm okay," Nicodemo recently told LGBTQ Nation. "But I'm saddened, and I'm fearful for my people in our community who can't, who don't have the support of an administration or don't have the ability to handle these kinds of attacks ... Which is what these people ultimately want. They want us to be quiet, and they want to make us disappear.""
""DeAngelis and Raichik reposted Nicodemo's video, with DeAngelis sharing his social media accounts, school website, and the contact information for his principal and superintendent. When he made his Instagram profile private, DeAngelis directed his followers to leave comments on his Facebook page, which they did, calling the teacher "evil," a "creep," and a "pedo groomer.""
""Throughout history, the first group of people that fascists have attacked are educators," he said in the video. "People like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, some of the worst people in world history were fascists, and they attacked us educators first.""
A high school social studies teacher and basketball coach hung a poster reading "fascists hate teachers" in his classroom to highlight historical censorship of educators. Two conservative influencers reposted his video and published his social media and school contact information, prompting followers to send harassment and accusations. The teacher, who is gay, said he can handle the attacks but fears for colleagues and students who lack support. He explained that fascist regimes historically target educators. The teacher retains administrative support and has no intention of leaving despite the online campaign against him.
