Effigy Of President Found Hanging In R.I. School CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (CBS) ―
A Rhode Island teacher has been disciplined after an effigy of President Barack Obama was found hanging by its ankle in his classroom.
The male teacher at Central Falls High School was not named, nor did the school district say specifically what disciplinary action was taken.
Central Falls is the troubled high school where all of the teachers were fired last month in an effort to reform the chronically underperforming school, reports CBS station WBZ-TV.
Superintendent Dr. Frances Gallo told CNN that the President Obama doll was found late Monday night holding a sign that said "Fire Central Falls teachers." Obama had called the firings in Central Falls an example of holding failing schools accountable.
"This was an ill-conceived imprudent act that has upset the lives of some of our students," Gallo said in a written statement. "The matter was investigated by the District, reported to the appropriate authorities, and the proper disciplinary actions have been taken."

He should have told them it was Clarence Thomas. He’d have gotten a promotion.
It was a Halloween Decoration when some Democrat did this with an effigy of Sarah Palin in October 2008.
Hmmmm, hanging by its ankle.....how mussoliniesque.
If it were an effigy of Bush he’d have been given a raise.
Liberals had no problem doing that and worse to Bush’s effigy.
“This was an ill-conceived imprudent act that has upset the lives of some of our students,”
f*uck their damn little feelings!
If those little hell holes called schools wanted to really scare them, then they would show them what Socialism, and what it leads to, will make of their lives when they are in the real world.

f*** the feelings of kids? Ooooookay

So I guess free soeech is officially dead then
I strongly suspect that this teacher was a leftist, angry at Obama for supporting the teacher firings. A lot of libs are angry at Obama for failing to do what they expected.
Take note that the article says that the teacher was “disciplined”
Not fired.
Not put in jail for threats against the President.
And the article doesn’t specify the discipline; it just mentions that he had to apologize.
Just an illustration of the power of the teacher’s union.
Did they take it down?/s
Wouldn’t it have been disrespectful to cut it down and let it fall to the ground?
Also an indication that the teacher was a lib trying to incite racial discord.
Were they upset the rope wasn’t properly installed around his skinny neck? ;-)
Did they beat it with shoes before it was taken down?
