McCain Supporter Claims She Suffered Racial Taunts in Class
News Channel 8 ^ | November 11, 2008 | Staff

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - A Prince George's Community College student says she was driven from class because of her political beliefs.

Gloria Alfonzo says she endured racial taunts and slurs because she supported John McCain's presidential campaign.

Her problems, she said, began with an assignment to write about the merits of Barack Obama. When she announced she differed with Obama, Alfonzo says her African-American classmates subjected her to an onslaught of racial hatred.

"I was frightened," she recalled. "It was horrible; it was extremely horrible. I was a little scared."

Alfonzo said all of her classmates -- except for herself and one other -- were black, as was the instructor, Ayanna Watson. She says the teacher demanded to know whether she is a Republican.

Alfonzo maintains her answer drove her fellow students into a racially-charged rage.

"They got up from their chairs they started pointing at me and, um, saying, 'You are a daughter of a,' you know, '[expletive deleted]' and '[expletive deleted] white girl,'" she said.

Chris Monroe was in the same class.

"I have never seen so much hate for one person," he recalled.

I have left a message with Dr Duke’s office, President of Prince George College, that I expect the college and the teacher to be held accountable. I have also told the assistant that there are people all over this country watching this situation.

I told her there is no place in this country for this type of racial disturbance.

She responded that the incident is under investigation. I said, “Fine. I’ll continue to watch how the College handles this racial incident.”

This is exactly why I won't enroll my son at my local elementary school. Due to school boundary lines it has a 80% (mostly poor) black population and I refuse to immerse him in their culture.

I've caught hell from some family and friends because of my reason for not sending him there, maybe I'll pass this link on to them.

Carry a camera (video if possible) and a micro audio recorder everywhere you go.

There are homeschool alternatives to public college. Most of us really don’t care to conform to the world’s expectations of “success” anyway. We’re citizens of a different Kingdom.

Are there also homeschool alternatives to the public workplace? How about retirement communities and cemeteries? Are there homeschool equivalents for them?

Good lord! Did you ever stop to consider being successful could enable you to support the charities and causes you hold dear? Or that we each have a responsibility to make the most of our God-given talents and abilities? Talk about burying your head in the sand!

Doesn't anyone stand up and fight anymore?!

Hmmm... I really don’t understand your extrapolation from protecting our kids from brainwashing to withdrawing from the requirement to be salt and light.

Most employers would LOVE to hire all homeschoolers. Work ethic and all, ya know?

"Open season on Whitey."

That is until they start actually killing Whiteys... Armed Whitey Don't Play Dat!

The Af-Ams can push it just so far and if they actually want a civil war, they will get their wish. Firearms sales are off the charts...

1.) My belief is that something is going to be tried or implemented, but the thought of allowing ourselves to be disarmed like they did in Europe pre-holocaust is not going to happen.2.) I don't think that people are going to allow themselves to be hauled off to camps without resistance. 3.) I have no objections to hosing down as many Obama malitia as set foot on the property. 4.) Unlike Nazi Germany, we have many young men and other aged military that fought, were wounded or died for this country to protect and defend the Constitution and our freedom and the freedom of their families to let Obama & Ayers set up some sort of Nazi Part II reign against us. Those over in Iraq and Afghanistan are not going to stand for abuse on their families by Af-Am [Nazi-fascist] malitias while they're over there fighting Islamo-fascists. I believe that our military boys would turn on the regime...even if they have a dust-up with their fellow Af-Am members.

I work there, and while I heard some rumors on Wednesday(one version had the teacher being attacked by a McCain supporter), we have not had any official communication about this from anyone in the administration. “Don’t ask, don’t tell”

If this behavior is countenanced by an Obama regime, then one day, another Nathan Bedford will arise, for better or for worse..

Good point. And she might have said you were off topic since you were supposed to write about his merits not his lack of merits.

The re-education camp has begun.

I feel badly for her that it was the only college she could afford. I hope someone will steer her to some conservative group who might help sponsor her to a better college.

Yes it has, and the scary part is he doesn’t have any power yet.

My daughter was called a racist many times at her high school because she wore a Sarah Palin button.

When some black girl would say “you’re a racist because you are voting for the white guy”, my daughter would say “well you’re a racist because you are voting for the black guy”.

Amazingly she didn’t get kicked out of school.
