Last Monday, a high school student in North Carolina engaged his social studies teacher in a heated debate about politics and the two leading presidential candidates. During the exchange, the teacher (an obvious Obama supporter) got very angry with the student and accused him of disrespecting the president. She even went so far as to tell the boy that he could be jailed for speaking ill of Obama.
Sarah Campbell of the Salisbury Post first reported on the story. She claims that the school district is not releasing the name of the teacher and that she is not responding to requests for public comment (although the two students identified her to the newspaper). According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:
“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.” So, how bad was the exchange? It got fairly heated, with the teacher shouting at times. The kerfuffle started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:

No it didn’t. And no.
To be fair, she didn’t really hate the school, any of her teachers or the students. She just was really independent, and liked studying on her own way, and she got bad migraines at times! That caused her to sleep overtime and be late. Luckily, she had a sympathetic school counselor who also had them. She suggested other options for her, including partially home study and tutoring.
Your mind reading skills are terrible. It did seem abusive to me.
It is not expected for Hussein's USA.

I don’t go to The Blaze because it locks up my computer.
btw... more names popped up.
Okie doke! :-)
Okay. Here’s my apology for not believing you thought my comment was abusive to you. Obviously I thought incorrectly. I apologize for not believing you really thought that I was seeking to be abusive to you today on FR, instead of the other way around.
Communism threat Ping..............
This isn’t a joke. This is what’s coming soon to your neighborhood!
Our children are threatened in schools. If they disrespect 0b0z0, (I just disrespected his ass!) you’ll be arrested!!
Anyone thinks of soft Socialism can simply look at what it really is; harsh Communism.
It starts exactly like this and then the “Nah, ain’t gonna happen here” crowd takes over, makes fun of “scared rabbits,” and MSM/SNL/etc. laugh it of.
The next thing, oops...your neighbor is arrested for making fun and saying dirty jokes about 0h0m0 (darn! I said the truth this time!)
This is how Communism takes over the grassroots through FEAR, pure and simple.
That pretty much negates the apology doesn't it? lol
Not the way I intended it, TigersEye. The apology stands. What was that about mind-reading again?
You're doing it wrong, Navy Patriot. You need to couch your accusations against FReepers in sweeping generalizations like "Is it just me or have you noticed a lot of drinking and posting this afternoon on Free Republic" giving yourself plausible deniability later when called on it. Have you learned nothing from the Clintons and 0bamas?
It's the intuhlekshool way to do it. ;^)
Why do you consider that odd?
I don't consider you a Marxist, I am trying to get you to think, and a connection to Marxism should have got you thinking: why would he speak like Lenin was giving me a pat on the head?
So you're getting called a useful idiot by others, again think: why would they do that?
You're no Marxist, but you've made the assumption that public schools are for education of youth.
Marx thanks you.
You mention higher education as well, and other than Hillsdale College and a few Christian institutions most all of 'em would be Marx approved and are government subsidized to the point of disaster for students with useless degrees unless they get work as a government regulator.
Communism is already here throughout our "public" education system, and you haven't noticed.
At worst, this idiotic woman can only screw up the future of a few thousand kids as a teacher. As President Obama can and has managed to screw up the futures of hundreds of millions of people, if not billions of people, for generations.
Talk to anyone from an Eastern European country under communism.
This is EXACTLY how it starts.
Navy Patriot, today you are just wrong in your assessment of me, what I think, what I’ve written on FR, what I need from you to be educated about...education in America.
Drive carefully.
Because she is a member of the protected class and to out her would be racist like it is with everything else these days dealing with the protected class.
Now I see that you were correct and I did make a sweeping generalization that I now regret making. I now see how you interpreted what I wrote and how you felt it was inappropriate.
Like: Post without sarcasm tags, or
be curt, or
be un PC offensive, or
be intriguing.
I have a standard post , being: Public school is child abuse.
I want the reader to either know why, or figure it out without it being explained to him like he was a school kid, that way the knowledge is really set in and fully understood.
And I am extremely irritating.
