CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (AP) -- A teacher at a failing Rhode Island school where he and all his colleagues were fired hung an effigy of President Barack Obama in his classroom, apparently in reaction to Obama's support of extreme measures to ensure accountability in schools.

Obama base not happy with obamanomics I guess. LOL
I'm guessing it was more likely a reaction to Obama's tanking the economy.
This is awesome, stupid, incompetent teachers and The Dali Obama beating eachother up.
Excactly. I bet that teacher’s union would have fought to the deathe to keep this guys job though if it was Bush hung in effigy.
Imagine if the Tea Party had done this......lamestream media would be all over this....but being it is a left winger doing it...no problem.
Effigy, apogee, perigee........Any point will work for me!
free speech at work... a little one sided...
Wow! Just one short year ago, all of the little skulls full of mush wanted to name their school after this moron. This is good news for Kobe Bryant and Hannah Montana. The kids will be going back to wanting to name their school after them. “Kobe Bryant! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm!” LOL!
Don’t forget syzygy!
So what are they going to do, fire the teacher?
If it had been President Bush, this would have been taken with a grain of salt.
From the tv series “Cheers:
“Let’s hang him in effigy.”
“No, let’s hang him right here in Boston.”
*Gasp*
RACISTS!
Must have been a math teacher getting hung in f(g)
A lot of teachers are dim bulbs.
But it looks like they're beginning to catch on.
LOL
