A citizen, whose nephew attends Brevard Community College, reports that he brought home the below bookmark pledging to vote for President Obama. The bookmark and pledge was handed out during a mathematics class taught by Assistant Professor Sharon Sweet. This occurred “while the student was in class at the request of his College Algebra teacher, Sharon Sweet, from Brevard Community College in [Melbourne] Florida.”

Typical communist bull****. I would have told the ho to KMA.
"110.233 Political activities and unlawful acts prohibited.— (1) No person shall be appointed to, demoted, or dismissed from any position in the career service, or in any way favored or discriminated against with respect to employment in the career service, because of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, religious creed, or political opinion or affiliation.
(2) No person shall use or promise to use, directly or indirectly, any official authority or influence, whether possessed or anticipated, to secure or attempt to secure for any person an appointment or advantage in appointment to a position in the career service, or an increase in pay or other advantage in employment in any such position, for the purpose of influencing the vote or political action of any person or for any consideration; however, letters of inquiry, recommendations, and references by public employees or public officials shall not be considered political pressure unless any such letter contains a threat, intimidation, or irrelevant, derogatory, or false information.

It’s things like this that make me glad I’ve already graduated.
Although this took place in Brevard County, I would not doubt that it happens in Broward as well.

NP. Just wanted to make sure the correct campus feels the wrath!
A promise to vote Obama a place in hell.
Are you so sexist that even if a math professor is named Sharon, it must be a man?

How do you post twitter feeds like that?
Sounds like me in the Humanities class, Social Science class, and Physcology Class. Had my name passed around, as in "watch out". As long as the professor stand on track with the syllabus I didn't have a problem with it. Stray off into current politics and I'd nail their liberal hide to the wall. I had the Social Science professor threaten me with a Fail. Never saw anyone back pedal so fast when she got summoned into the department heads office the next morning with me (and two witnesses).
These people need to be taken down quickly, and you do it through the department head, the campus administration, the college chancellor, or the board of regents. Witnesses are invaluable to prevent the "you misunderstood me", or the "I didn't say that", which is what was attempted on me.
I used Paint application (program in computer) for screenshot and just linked it to the tweet.
It is certainly outrageous.
But fortunately we still have secret ballots.
I thought it was BREVARD, not BROWARD...
Never mind Allen West! West is Broward.
BS PING!
That deserves its own thread. Outrageous.
