A college professor has been placed on leave after she allegedly forced her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the upcoming elections.

Early last week Professor Sharon Sweet at Brevard Community College (BCC) allegedly told students to sign a pledge that reads: “I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.”

The pledge was printed off of GottaVote.org, a website funded by the Obama campaign.

University administrators said they learned about the incident late Thursday afternoon and launched an investigation, after they received a phone call from a concerned parent.

“Based on the allegations, Associate Professor Sweet has requested, and been granted, a leave of absence without pay effective immediately,” reads a statement put out by John Glisch, Associate Vice President for Communications at BCC.

You got to scroll down an 1" to read previous to that, she was an Art and Math major at Bard, for maybe, 3 years at best. No degree listed, so I'm inferring that she didn't finish.

Yes, I saw that. She transferred from Bard to FIT, so I'm guessing she either flunked out, or was on the edge of flunking out. Bard might be liberal enough to admit people who don't meet their academic standards, but I don't think they are stupid enough to allow them to graduate with a Bard degree if doing so would dilute the worth of their diplomas.

So she transferred to FIT and only got an associate degree out of her whole college experience.

I had an English prof who was a known communist. Wore a red star on his lapel. Wore the same denim clothes everyday. Let us choose our own grades. No one came to class. What a waste.
