Wise decision. The worst was at the end.
Now posted on Malkin - confirmed!
Now that Michelle has this, it will likely end up on Fox News.
From Michelle Malkin’s blog:
Meet the Buncombe County School Board:
Mr. Richard Greene - regreene@aim.com
Mr. Bob Embler - jpappye@aol.com
Mr. Wendell Begley - bmsm@bellsouth.net
Mr. Pat Bryant - pat.bryant@bcsemail.org
Mr. Dusty Pless - dpless@aol.com
Mr. Bob Rhinehart - rrhinehart@mesfire.com
Mr. Steve Sizemore - sws@northupmcconnel.com
Folks... When you email the board members, PLEASE be polite and professional. This is obviously key. DO NOT be offensive as it will only be counterproductive. In situations such as these, persistent - and overwhelming - tact gets more results that anger.
I wonder how much was the teacher's rant: racist, anti-military, anti-republican, anti-pretty female.
That teacher has one plug ugly soul. How many children has she "done" this way through the years.
STAND BY ONE...
Just read on another blog that the “teacher” may work for Cumberland Country Schools and has also been elsewhere over the past few years. [Steady employment record... NOT!]
My dad was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Base in Goldsboro. The school system there got bucks for every military kid that was taught in the public school system. There is no reason the military should be paying for the children of their soldiers to sit and listen to this harpie expound her liberal mantra.
This woman needs to be fired, and fast. Get this to Rush, to Hannity (at Fox), to O’Reilly (he’s a blowhard but he hates abuse of children), and definitely to Levin. I imagine she never thought her crap that was for a Finnish documentary would wind up on YouTube.
The parents should yank their children out of her class PRONTO!
BUMP
Thanks!
Also on the front page of Little Green Footballs, with click for the Video.
Every new post on a thread takes it back to the top...that is why you will see a lot of posts that simply state "Bump". Bumps the thread back to the top...
My child’s class was offered extra credit to write a congratulatory note to the new President.

I've already sent an email to the board. Anyone else plan on doing it?
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Buncombe County School Board:
Today I received a shocking video of a teacher in your school system who was bullying a student. Having been born and bred in Asheville, (I live in Charlotte now) I was horrified to see such treatment of a child. This makes the entire city look disgraceful that this woman still has a job. I urge you to watch the video and see for yourself. She brow beats the child for supporting John McCain and tells the child that McCain supports another 100 years in Iraq. The horrible part? THE CHILD’S FATHER IS IN IRAQ FIGHTING FOR COUNTRY. The teacher then asks the child if she wants her daddy to stay in Iraq for 100 years!
This is intimidation, humiliation, and bullying to say the least. This violates the policy for intimidation and bullying that is set forth by your school system. I implore you to look into this and at the very least, discipline this teacher and apologize to the child and her family. If she were my child, I would be hiring an attorney.
No matter what your politics, this treatment of our children can’t be tolerated. It makes me ashamed that the great city I grew up in has this teacher working in the school system. Please look into this matter and make some changes.
Thanks very much for your time and your service to the children of Buncombe County.
Good letter, wrong county. She is in Cumberland
OOPs! The youtube video says it’s in Asheville. Now I’m embarrassed.
Nah, it’s good to keep the pressure everywhere so that all school districts we that people are watching.
I did however, spend almost an hour looking through classroom list after classroom to find her
Here is her school page and her class web site page

Made me sick to see that as a teacher! What is also unreal is her comments up against her actions towards the children in the classroom! Certainly she knew she was on video, right?
