Wherein:
A report in The Washington Post, published on November 25, 2018, showed violent right-wing-related incidents up, and left-wing-related incidents down. Total domestic terrorism incidents was down to 41 in 2001, from a high of 468 in 1970, but then went up to 65 in 2017. Of those 65 events in 2017, 36 were right-wing-related (with 11 fatalities), 10 were left-wing-related (with 6 fatalities), 7 were related to Islamist extremism (with 16 fatalities), and 12, including the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, were categorized as "Other/Unknown" (with 62 fatalities, including 58 from the Las Vegas incident). The report found that 2018 was a particularly deadly year, with 11 people dying in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, 2 others in an incident in Kentucky, and two more in a shooting in Tallasshee. All three incidents were right-wing related.[88]

The Post reported that the upsurge in right-wing violence began during the Barack Obama administration and picked up steam under the presidency of Donald Trump, whose remarks after the Unite the Right rally in Charlotteville, Virginia in 2017 that there were "some very fine people on both sides" is widely seen as giving confidence to the right that the administration looked favorably on their goals, providing them with "tacit support". A former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, is quoted as saying that "[political leaders] from the White House down, used to serve as a check on conduct and speech that was abhorrent to most people. I see that eroding. ... The current political rhetoric is at least enabling, and certainly not discouraging, violence."[88]

According to analysis by the newspaper of data from the Global Terrorism Database, 92 of 263 domestic terrorism events – 35% – that occurred from 2010 to 2017 were right-wing related, while 38 (14%) were Islamist extremist-related, and 34 (13%) were left-wing related. Not only that, but a criminologist from John Jay College stated that right-wing attacks were statistically more likely to result in fatalities.[88]

Yeah right, and who just killed 22 people, or run people over with cars, not to mention how many churches have been burned in Black communities Yadda yadda yadda, you guys aren't on any higher pedestal, get over yourselves. White supremacists are on the rise and move, they're now from the GOP under Trump the proven racist.

The Daily Caller, a right leaning publication. That doesn't change the stats....it just keeps the ball nouncing, as in you throw out a left report and I throw out a right report.
Add the two together and subtract the bias and you MIGHT be able to see the truth.

Are the stats that you presented not true? They are true. Are the stats that I presented not true? They are true. It all depends on which side you are coming from as to what stats you seek.
As a conservative, I personally condemn white supremacism, neo nazism, the KKK, or any other group that promotes one race or group as superior to another.
Will you condemn antifa?
THAT'S where we are going with all this.

Nothing to do with the teacher's union???? Any teacher who dies not commit a crime and wind up in the criminal justice system CANNOT be fired due to the power of the teacher's union!!! When a teacher tells a student who won't tow the left narrative that he is stupid and will never amount to anything, encourages the classmates to ridicule him; the school CANNOT fire the teacher due to the teacher's union.

Whether or not a teacher can be fired may have something to do with the union, how teachers teach is not, what teachers teach is not. Your post is such an egregious falsehood it makes me question your intentions here. It's all hearsay, baseless and not credible unless you back your opinion with something, which you haven't yet. I'm refuting your comment by not accepting one case from some rogue teacher in order to allow you such a general comment. You're full of it ma'am.

That question is a double-edged sword, so let me be clear, the origination of Antifa was to be anti-fascism and against racism, which I am. No, I don't support this group as they've gotten derailed into violent protests, I am for Constitutional law, let that work for us as it should, but here's the rub, it hasn't come through for black or Hispanic American communities and why we are seeing this reaction from them. Just as we once violently rebelled against England.

I'm also not for any form of favoritism from one race to another to try and compensate for our past. Been there done that, hasn't worked out great as it's only created resentment and perpetuate more racism. Have students win grants by merit and achievements alone, but don't Not select people by race, religion or gender either, that's got to go.. no more overlooking people who do deserve it.

My complements for this and its source. Oh wait, you didn't give a source.
According to the quoted Wikipedia article, WaPo analysed data from the Global Terrorism Database. Presumably you could do your own analysis. Here's what Wikipedia has on GTD:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Terrorism_Database

Giving a list of anecdotes of only one type of incident (aggression against Trumpunistas) does not provide any validity for your original stated belief, "Personally, I believe that the right is far behind the left in committing violence."

But I suppose I shouldn't have focused on your first sentence, and instead paid more attention to the last: "Instead of letting things evolve into more violence, let's trim our party lines and define exactly what it means to be left or right. Lets get rid of the extremists on BOTH sides."

To which my snide side might respond, "And let's start by getting rid of our Inciter-In-Chief, Mister "I'd like to sock him in the jaw" Trump.
