Does anyone know if this individual is in danger of losing her job over this?

I’m afraid this is the rule and not the exception

And her intimidation of the child is not even her WORST offense. Did you see the video and listen to her butcher the English language? That lady should not be teaching anyone’s children - she is a disgrace to the teaching profession.

These kids are being ripped off.

I find the girl's mother's comments as shocking as the teacher's. From the article:

"Cathy Thompson’s mother, Angela Moore, maintains that neither she nor her daughter were upset by Ms. Harris’ comments, according to WRAL News. The family sat in on an interview between Harris and WRAL news in order to show their solidarity with the teacher. However, it seems curious that during the interview with her parents and Ms. Harris, Cathy herself stays strangely quiet. While Ms. Harris apologized for the Iraq comment, Cathy’s mother excused the statement, saying “But at the same time that comment is very true, regardless of whether you said it or someone else said it, he could be in the military for the next hundred years and he could be over there in Iraq for the next hundred years. Nobody knows that.” . . . In a short clip aired separately by WRAL news, Cathy says of her experience, “I was gonna start to cry because I was nervous ‘cause I was worried about my dad when he was in Iraq.”

I think poor little Cathy needs to be rescued from this "teacher" AND from her mother.
