High school teacher tells student he can be arrested for criticizing Obama

Joe Newby Spokane Conservative Examiner

After criticizing Mitt Romney, a North Carolina high school teacher yelled at a student for asking a question about Barack Obama, telling him that he could be arrested for criticizing Barack Obama.

Sarah Campbell wrote at the Salisbury Post Saturday that the heated exchange began "with a classroom conversation about a recent news story detailing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney allegedly bullying a classmate in prep school. It turns into a heated, sometimes confrontational debate."

“Didn’t Obama bully someone though,” one student asked, referring to an incident in Obama's memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” in which Obama admitted pushing a girl when other students called him her boyfriend.

“Stop, no, because there is no comparison,” the teacher said.

According to the teacher, Romney is “running for president," and therefore does not deserve the same respect as Obama, who "is the president.”

“Listen, let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom,” she said.

She went on to tell the student that he "will not" say what he wants about Obama, and asserted that it was a crime to "slander" the President. The student responded by recalling that many spoke ill of George W. Bush while he was President, and such arrests would violate the Constitutional right to free speech.

A video of the confrontation was uploaded to YouTube and had over 3,400 views as of this writing. The video appears to have been taken with a camera phone pointing to the ceiling and does not show the teacher or any of the students.

That ‘teacher’ is an unqualified intellectual imbecile whose only recourse when confronted with logic is to yell, “No, unh, unh!” as forcefully as she can. My four year old grand daughter is more of an intellectual challenge than she is.

I hope this doesn’t get me banned, but the teacher doesn’t sound like a white teacher.

I believe she may be just a wee bit biased??

Exactly.

U-Tube comments are a good read.

The audio suggests that she's an affirmative action hire and that otherwise she might be marginally qualified to be flipping burgers at McDonald's. Instead, she 's a teacher. Not that there should be any requirement that North Carolina Social Studies teachers know anything about history and the Constitution, I guess. That would be racist.

At most, this stupid 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, and for generations. He was a far poorer candidate to hire than was even this woman.

Criticizing the communist in our White House may well get you arrested for other “crimes”. I have no doubt that it could get you audited by the IRS too. Note: I get audited every two or three years, and I expect to see them again in the near future. Go ahead Obama - your opponents are honest people, which is why we despise you and why you can’t touch us.

Listening to the youtube piece it is obvious that the kids in her class know that she is a joke. Everyone needs to listen to just how incompetent some of these teachers are. I don’t think she was able to put together one coherent sentence.

Apparently the entire msm along with most of the republican party agrees. What else explains their inability to even timidly go now where they once boldly and routinely went against "Dubya"?

One of the main reasons is that out "Public" schools are little more than indoctrination centers for the progressive bowel movement.

You could see things headed that way in the 60s and 70s, arriving at that station in the 80s, moving in and settling down throughout the 90s and since then the neighborhood turned into the slum we see and avoid today.

It's always been tough being a boy in school, but it must be absolute hell for boys today. That kid is my hero of the day for the rest of May.

When does she get her promotion to superintendent or better yet, Secretary of Education in his second term?

NC Teacher Screams at Student: It’s Criminal to Criticize Obama

by Ben Shapiro 20 hours ago 758 post a comment

A YouTube video uploaded on Monday afternoon apparently shows a schoolteacher from the Rowan-Salisbury school district in North Carolina informing a student that failing to be respectful of President Obama is a criminal offense. Breitbart News has uncovered that the student is a high school junior, and that the teacher is apparently one Tanya Dixon-Neely.

The video shows a classroom discussion about the Washington Post hit piece about Mitt Romney bullying a kid some five decades ago. One student says, “Didn’t Obama bully someone though?” The teacher says: “Not to my knowledge.” The student then cites the fact that Obama, in Dreams from My Father, admits to shoving a little girl. “Stop, no, because there is no comparison,” screams the teacher. Romney is “running for president. Obama is the president.”

The student responds that both are “just men.”

The teacher yells — literally yells — that Obama is “due the respect that every other president is due … Listen,” she continues, “let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” She yells over the student repeatedly, and yells at him that it’s disrespect for him to even debate about Romney and Obama.

I like the boy that's standing up to her. I don't like kids mouthing off and swearing to adults. That just shows how loosey goosey classrooms have become. She is very ignorant though, and I don't believe she deserves much respect. The boy knows she's full of crap.

She calms down toward the end and tries to pretend she's being more reasonable. I think she realizes they are recording her.

If that were my kid I’d buy them the t-shirt with obama’s picture and “Worst President Ever” written on it.

New Paradigm
5/20/2012, 6:20 pm

Comrades!

One of our subversion agents is in need of our help. Tanya Dixon-Neely is a glorious re-educator from North Carolina. As you know the corrupt members of this territory have voiced their opposition to Dear Leader’s glorious evolution. Now they have learned of her efforts to correct any treasonous thoughts about Dear Leader. They may take away her Lenin-given right to her job!
