A veteran Minnesota high school teacher bizarrely raged over the details surrounding anti-ICE protester Renee Good’s death during a heated argument with a student — which ended when she insulted the boy’s intelligence, according to video of the disturbing scene.
Becker High School social studies teacher Dr. Heather Abrahamson grew increasingly agitated as she insists that ICE agent Jonathan Ross used unnecessary, deadly force against Good, 37, according to Libs of TikTok, which posted the clip and identified Abrahamson in a Tuesday X post.
“His move should have been to go like this if he was really afraid. Your job as a police officer is to de-escalate,” the instructor can be heard saying while the camera is pointed at other students sitting at their desks in the Becker classroom.
The video then pans to show Abrahamson, who is standing within inches of the unidentified student’s face, as she repeatedly interrupts his claim that Ross “had a split second” to decide whether to kill the mother of three.
“No, he had – no. I’m not going to argue with you,” she says and drops her hands, before the boy points out, “You’re arguing right now.”
“Because watch the video – he was not in danger ,” an incensed Abrahamson cries loudly, while dramatically flailing her hands in the air between her and the student, who was also standing.
“Just because you’re yelling doesn’t mean you’re winning an argument,” the boy says as Abrahamson walks to the side of the room – before unleashing a twisted insult on her teenage student.
“Yeah, just because you’re alive doesn’t mean you’re intelligent,” she hisses.
The outburst sparks chatter among other students, one of whom can be heard asking the subject, “you just gonna take that, man? She just called you stupid,” before the clip ends.
Abrahamson has worked at Becker Schools for 32 years and earned her Ph.D. in social studies curriculum from the University of Minnesota, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Her argument with a student over Good’s death isn’t the first time the educator has publicly disagreed with the politics of others within her school community.
In 2022, the school board sent Abrahamson into a tizzy over a decision at one of its meetings where a state LGBT advocacy group, Outfront Minnesota, vocalized issues they wanted to see addressed at Becker schools.
The board reportedly decided it would only be fair to also hear from a group with opposing views – much to the chagrin of Abrahamson, according to a story by the St. Cloud Times .
“The response from the kids is they were glad to have [OutFront], but the response from the school board then was right away, they needed to hear the other side of this,” Abrahamson, who was the high school’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance club’s advisor at the time, told the outlet.
“I don’t understand how you could think there’s another side to human rights, but they claim that there is.”
Neither Abrahamson, the high school principal nor the district superintendent immediately responded to requests for comment.

It seems as though leftwing Karens are everywhere.
We don't want them in our schools, and they are not to be confused with "educators."
Administrators who blindly support them should be fired as well.
And they act out childishly just like this "teacher". We see it all the time here on NT as well.
Your job as a police officer is to de-escalate.
What a radical leftist! Cancel her immediately. She is tainting the pool of future ICE nazis, like this kid.
Nazism died in 1945.
The danger of the 21st century is Communism (China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam), much of it being taught in higher education. In addition, there is the constant threat of radical Islam centered in Iran.
Dr. Heather Abrahamson was caught trying to indoctrinate her students and after engaging in a discussion on a controversial event she insults one of them. There is no excuse for her to be teaching.
Nazism is alive and well in the US. It has the same lawlessness protected by the same racist governing ideology. If you aren’t for ICE, you are the enemy in their eyes, and needlessly shooting you in the face while you are driving, followed by federal refusal to acknowledge a problem with that - that is nazism.
Lol. The desperation to be the ultimate victim is out of of control on the left.
Get a grip.
Oh good, more semantics! What’s next? It’s not nazism because they’re not wearing swastikas? Get a brain.
It's like the actress on the view yesterday who grew up in Ohio claiming her mother had to shield her eyes from all the black bodies that were lynched when she was a kid in the 50s. . Not a single progressive pointed out how absurd that is. They revel in fake oppression.
"Nazis Nazis Nazis everywhere", as he types unhinged attacks on the government, knowing he can say whatever he wants without fear.. .
MAGA fascism is alive and well in 2026.
The bigger danger is allowing MAGA fascism a foothold in our own country.
The primary tenants of fascism is killing the First and Fourth Amendments as the Trump Admin has done remarkably well in the last year. The next is to spread state sponsored propaganda making everything about 'us vs them'. The NY Post has been doing that for decades.
Good god, man. You watch the view. Lol
Can you give some examples of this "MAGA fascism" you have been dreaming of?
That's one unfounded opinion.
Your gaslighting is not working. There will be repercussions at some point and they won't favor MAGA supporters.

OK here we go...
Number 1...Just because you are a US citizen does not mean you are able to do illegal things in front of ICE. The article does not list why any of these people were being held, just that they were held. Sometimes it takes days to identify someone when they do not want to cooperate, so being held for a few days is not uncommon.
Number 2. There is evidence of one person that is a citizen being deported on accident. That is a mistake that should not have happened and I hope the person was compensated for their time being held, but that is for a court to decide. BTW... your link has nothing to do with what the link says.
Number 3....Being in this country is an offense, albeit civil, but illegal. Coming back after you were deported is a federal offense. With the number of illegals Biden allowed in, there is a good chance many of them are reoffenders. I tried to click on this link but it does not go anywhere.
Number 4....Like number 3, when you allow millions of unvetted illegals into the country, many of them with undiagnosed diseases, you will have a larger number of deaths of those in custody. People die all the time while in custody, not just those being held by ICE.
Number 5...See number 1 and 2. I tried to click on the link, but it does not go to anything.
The only repercussions will be leftist politicians who have been protecting these illegal criminals in handcuffs and perp walked to prison. Obstruction of ICE operations is a crime and those leftists need to be made accountable.
You offer no rebuttal with any facts.
This is how civil wars start in 3rd world shitholes.
You offered links that went nowhere.
I countered your points without any need to look at them anyway.
"his is how civil wars start in 3rd world shitholes."
Do you think those that committed crimes need to be held accountable, or is it just those "MAGA fascists" you dream of?
I clicked on your links and saw useful information so they did go somewhere.
ICE is for immigration not enforcing laws in citizens doing obnoxious things. If I want to scream at an ICE agent I can
If the persons re doing il\legal things and the local PD has been told to not do anything, then ICE has a right to arrest.
"If I want to scream at an ICE agent I can"
Yes you can...nobody cares, but don't get mad when they laugh at you
Sure you did and sure they did
Of course. Right up until you touch them, spit on them, throw something at them or impede their ability to do their job.
with a failure in logic.
Saying, "you dream of" sounds unhinged and has no basis in reality.
I gave you facts, you gave me your opinions. We're done here.
I know. I always check my links, but thanks for the reassurance.
The last of the 15 lynchings in Ohio history took place in 1911. No lynching is ever recorded as having taken place in Columbus
Explain how someone born there in 1949 grew up having to be shielded from seeing black people hung from trees while walking to the store. How can a crowd of progressives not know it was b.s. immediately?
Then prove me wrong.
"I gave you facts, you gave me your opinions"
You gave opinions from left leaning sites. No facts included in them and no context as to why the citizens were arrested. I countered those opinions.
BTW...your links I cited earlier still do not work, but the others do.
As was pointed out, she was born in 1949. How does she "remember" being shielded by sights she claimed at one year or less old?
Read really closely..
The last victim was in 1911. 1911 is between 1877 and 1950 . All 15 lynchings took place between 1877 and 1911.
This isn't debatable. It's also correct to say there've been 15 lynchings between 1877 and 2026. That doesn't mean one occurred in 2026.
But this is the 21st century.
Generally speaking (of course), you can lead a troll to facts, but you can’t make it read them.
I like how you never try to hide your confirmation bias.
It's fun to see how easy people can be manipulated with words....
Imagine thinking someone was lynched in Ohio in 1950 because that date was simply included in the range .
Because watch the video – he was not in danger
Right. We tell people all the time to hang out in the path of moving vehicles because it's so safe.
then why did he deliberately step in front of that car?
It seems to me that her job as a teacher is to guide and moderate discussion in her classroom, not be part of the debate herself.
I respectfully disagree. She’s allowed an opinion too, particularly when it is based on fact. It seems to me that the cognitive dissonance of maga parents is rubbing off on their kids. MAGA is grasping at straws and will say anything to justify their undying servitude to Trump, because it justifies all their inner prejudices. It will be interesting/depressing to see how his latest spectacle at Davos is rationalized.
Collective cognitive dissonance is about to have a revisionist field day. Zut alors! /S
He's correct.
The Constitution guarantees her right to an opinion.
Professional standards of conduct do not allow her to inflict it on the students.
She's not allowed try to "indoctrinate" students any more than she would be permitted to convert them to Catholicism.
She is most certainly not allowed to insult them personally when they disagree with her opinions.
In any case like this, put the shoe on the other foot and see if it works.
If she were a RW nutjob instead of a LW nutjob, spent instructional time arguing that the church protesters deserved life in prison, became enraged and shouted at students who disagreed, then launched a personal attack on one, we would expect her to be disciplined.
She's a religious zealot, like so many RW fanatics before her. She just belongs to a different church.
I guess we went to entirely different schools. I can’t imagine what my parents would have said if I came home from school and said “some classmate said JFK was asking to be assassinated by being in a convertible so it was his own fault, and all the teacher said was that his opinion was as valid as anyone else’s.”
The probability of us attending the same schools is exceedingly small, so that's a safe bet.
In my school we learned how to make analogies correctly.
They are analogous by how outrageously wrong headed they are. I’m sorry that I don’t have an analogy from the past that parallels the present, since the present country we live in would be considered a laughably unrealistic impossibility in the sane days of yore.
Not close, but keep trying.
I'm not sure where you were living in those days of yore that a split second judgement error from an LEO resulted in the death of a civilian would have been "unrealistic" or "impossible", but here in America, it happens all the time.
I'm also not sure where it was that a teacher yelling at a student and hurling personal insults over a political disagreement would be considered acceptable behavior for a college educated professional, but I'm glad I missed that particular version of utopia.
This was not a split second judgment. The ICE officer positioned himself on the driver front corner and pulled his weapon and readied his aim. At that time, Good had turned her wheels and was just starting to move forward when he shot her.
Split second is not a factor here.
The officer, by protocol, is NEVER to position himself in the path of a vehicle (or even close to it as is the case here). And should NEVER fire on a vehicle except when a reasonable threat of imminent death or great harm was present for himself or others. In reality, the only threat was the officer himself.

Funny how when we were kids you never knew the political leanings or the sexual orientation of teachers. Except for a couple exceptions the same held true in college and grad school.
You were lucky. I had several teachers that expressed their political and religious views all the time
Very lucky and worse in College and that was a long time ago.
I took mostly science classes in college so I didn't pay attention to the other instructors except to gather what I could for a grade
Politics only comes up in a couple classes, so that isn't surprising. Sexual orientation would only have been hidden in the case of gay teachers. Straight teachers have no problem letting their students know if they are married. That's privilege.
LOL
What are they doing that others cannot?
Living without fear of persecution for simply being who and what they are.
I think she can offer a well thought opinion but calling a student a name is beyond the pale
This will most likely cause an issue at report card time. Does anyone believe she will be objective?
I agree. She most certainly can and should impose facts and dispel fantasy. That is part of her job. But losing her cool is problematic.
I dont think teachers should even discuss current controversial news in the classroom. It will never end well.
[deleted][✘]
You dont think there are teachers who tell their students how brilliant Trump is?
Highly unlikely or you would be posting about them every day.
I can’t remember the last current news that wasn’t controversial. When the inmates run the asylum everything is controversial. I remember the good old days when you could talk about current events at the water cooler at work, now that talk is strictly about work, social lives, tv shows … anything but news and politics. That’s the quickest way to poison a relationship now.
current events used to be about the latest space mission or some bill being debated in Congress. Now current events is the adventures of a lunatic.
