Ok, my 16 year old son told me a few minutes ago that all tea parties are racist. She was sitting in a class of about 15 students discussing segregation laws. At one point she said "There is still a lot of racism today, like all those tea partys. They are filled with racists.

My son then said, "I go to those Tea partys and I'm not a racist. People don't like him (meaning Obama) because of what he is doing, not because of racism!" She replied with a laugh "That's not true. They are all racists. She repeated "those people are racist" and then said "We're going to stop this because I know how he can get!" (meaning my son!" So, any suggestions on how to proceed? I will be taking action, and already have some ideas, but I am open to other suggestions. Is this worthy of a lawyer?

The head of the school at the very least. The PTA.

Have him immediately write down what was said, who was there and where it was. File a complaint with the school District and do not back down.

GO TO THE PRINCIPAL IMMEDIATELY! SHE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED, IF NOT FIRED. And you should DEMAND that she apologize personally to your son.

Do not settle for an apology. Make sure she is fire and teaching license is revoked.

Well I dont know about a lawyer but administration and school board need to be notified immediately and as a punishment(wink wink) the class needs to attend a tea party with the teacher driving the bus.

“Is this worthy of a lawyer? “

Eventually. It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If it’s a public apology, I would start off with a phone call/email to the teacher, then the principal, then the superintendent, then the Board of Education.

Coupled with that, and if you have the time, I would request an opportunity to speak with the class to set them straight.

As much as I hate to say, I would consult a good, highly recommended attorney and go after this assholes job wioth everything I can. If she is saying crap like that out loud, to CHILDREN, goodness knows what she really is...take her out.

I don’t think you have a case, and if you call a lawyer you might be wasting your money.

But I would call the teacher and the principal and let them know that you attend Tea Party demonstrations, that you’re a loyal American and not a bigot and you certainly don’t appreciate being called a bigot by your son’s teacher. Let them know that if it happens again, you’ll file a complaint with the school board, but that this time you’ll settle for an apology to your son in front of the entire class.

And yes, whether it matters, I think it could, she is black. She wa also sitting with several other black students and my son who is white. They were all pretty much against my son.

Ask her ‘where’s the evidence?’ This woman shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children...

Principal, school board, the teachers union, other parents you may know. Don’t put up with that crap! I have seen for the last 8 years or so the dregs of society that become teachers.

Your son it seems is already painted as a racist in class, and it sounds like this is not the first time he’s been painted as some “rightwinger.” Either the entire classroom agrees with the teacher, or they know that the teacher is crazy and it is ok.

I would be correct in assuming that your son is in great emotional stress?

16 is an age where men will start to want to fit in, and accept what they hear in order to do that... not sure how to solve your problem, sounds to me like he is in a rough spot. The good thing here though is that he has only 2 more years to High school and after that he moves on to a completely new social scene.

"Stick it hard to the commie witch and don’t back down. Drive her out of her profession."

This is exactly the correct answer. Teachers are fired for mentioning the Christian religion. But they can call certain students racist or molest students.
