This is ghastly. If you are a parent with elementary schoolchildren, you will hit the roof.

This is Jay Bennish on steroids. This is Ward Churchill in the elementary schools.
AND WHERE IS THE MEDIA?!?!?
Funny that you have to go to finland to get this video.
I wonder if the parents of this little girl gave consent that she could be abused on film?

Exercise your right to direct your child's education. Liberalism will fail, if every McCain/Palin voter pulled their children away from this indoctrination and abuse.
OMG!!!
I don’t know what is worse, Obama or the freaks that voted for him.
Proof that ‘educators’ are anything but.
The school has addressed this. This is Fort Bragg area!

Interesting comments... Some say this is too editted and that the teacher didn’t do the things we saw her do on the video.
What a b!tch.
The school must think she did. and if the things weren’t said how could they have been filmed even with any edit, the words and the look on the girls face is there.
Yeah, they’ve got that new editing technology where they make the teacher say the Lord’s name in vain and use intimidating hand motions. The newest technology is great, doncha know.
Better watch out, that teacher will be screaming RACISM that when she is called to the carpet!!!
One of my best teachers...
I attended one of Australia’s top private schools in the late 1960s and early 1970s - Vietnam War era, and we had a teacher - he was actually the school chaplain as well - who we all knew was a die hard leftie. He was anti-Vietnam, and used to march against the war, and we all knew this, but it never came into his classroom. What came out in the class was his love of knowledge, and his love of thinking.
Anyway, final year of school, and I was seriously considering joining the Army or the Navy, and I went around to all my teachers who I trusted to ask their advice. All of them told me to go for it, and I came to this man last because I thought he’d tell me not to - a pacifist who was opposed to the war, a socialist. I thought I knew what he’d say.
He surprised me though - he told me the military was a good career, it was a tradition of service to country and cause, and that he thought I’d do well there, and get a lot out of it. Not what I was expecting at all - and I made that pretty obvious.
And he saw it, and he spoke to me. And he asked me if I thought he would have said something different and I said I did. And though I can’t remember his exact words, what he said next has really stuck with me.
“Lad... I’m your teacher and that means my primary job is to teach you how to decide for yourself what you believe and what you want to do with your life. I don’t hide what I believe from you, but I’m not here to tell you that you should agree with me. Being a good teacher means teaching kids so that they can decide things for themselves. I’d be a very bad teacher if every student I taught came out of my classes believing the same things I believe. That’s not the job.”
As a teacher myself today, I try to live up to that man in everything I teach - and though I come at my teaching from almost exactly the opposite direction he did, I hope that on the important things I learned what is right from him.
I don’t conceal my political beliefs from my students. If they come up in class, I will tell them what I think - but it will always be “This is what I think - now you decide what you think.”
This is nothing new. This kind of crap has been going on all year long and it’s been going on for decades before that. The public school teachers are almost all Dhimmocrat and this is what we can expect from them. Nothing more.

I wonder if her parents gave consent that she could be abused *off* film.
You know as well as I do that it’s very likely this isn’t the first time. And having middle and high school yet to come it’s an almost definite that it’ll happen again.
Yes, yes. Good correction there, I agree!
I’ll definately be spreading it around.
But what about all the rest of the Jay Bennish’s and Ward churchill’s all across the nation?
They’ll only be fired if they’re caught on film?
Who taped this? This is insane!
Oh, I agree, there’s a lot of difference between my old teacher and this one.
But politics is a large part of life, and I don’t think it is realistic on reasonable for people to expect teachers to conceal their political beliefs. I never have and I never will. But nor will I indoctrinate my students with them. And I think a teacher can navigate that middle ground if they want to - and if they do, the student has a greater opportunity to learn than if they do not.
I also teach secondary school - my students are older. With fifth graders my approach would be different. Kids that age are often still at the stage of believing they have to agree with teachers. We need to equip them with the understanding they have every right to disagree before we start exposing them to political theory.
It still isn’t the beliefs that upset me most. Children need to see that the world is made up of many people with many political beliefs. I don’t think teachers should hide their political beliefs but the whole conversation could have been neutral with her saying who she supported and allowing each person the same right. The comments were simply harsh especially the 100 years—I think that little girl has already wondered if she will see her dad again. This teacher is just mean and callous.
I agree I remember being belittled because of my families support of Reagan.
I can attest, via first-hand military family info, that what this Superintendent is saying about children and spouses and military themselves, is far, far more true, than not. The schools systems in Cumberland county work hard to help military families out. To help them settle in, and adjust to parents being deployed, and coming home.
The fact is, we still have Jim Crow and institutionalized bigotry; nowadays it is aimed at people with traditional/conservative values and/or the "wrong" political affiliation. I guess that makes it right.
Imagine what is being said in classrooms where a camera isn’t around.
I have no doubt. Got a good idea when I saw the caliber of teachers protesting layoffs in Dallas. On one hand, the system cannot afford to lose teachers. On the other hand, these people didn’t fit my definition of teachers.
Malkin/Palin 2012.
Good points. If that woman is doing those kind of things in front of the camera, what’s it like when no one but she and the kids are around. No way in hell any kid of mine would be going to that school.
That “teacher” deserves to be fired. She is a sorry excuse for a teacher. No teacher should ever do things like that to a student. If the principal and the school board don’t fire her without pay and other benefits, they should go, too.
