College fires professor who forced students to sign pledge to vote for Obama

Brevard Community College has fired Professor Sharon Sweet who forced her students to sign this pledge:

Brevard Community College (BCC) has fired a professor after a school investigation concluded she required students to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the run-up to the 2012 election.

The school’s spokesman John Glisch, said the Board of Trustees voted Wednesday morning to terminate mathematics professor Sharon Sweet with an overwhelming vote.

“The board voted 3-1, with one member absent, to dismiss professor Sweet,” Glisch told Campus Reform Wednesday afternoon.

“The termination took effect immediately, ending pay and benefits for Sweet who had been suspended with pay under provisions of the United Faculty of Florida collective bargaining agreement with the college, pending the board’s decision,” the school added in a press release.

BCC was hurled into the national spotlight last year for Sweet’s actions after a Campus Reform exposé highlighted her alleged demand for students to support the Democratic Party in the 2012 elections.

The school’s president later recommended to the Board of Trustees that professor Sweet should be fired, following an investigation that found her guilty of “harassment, incompetence, misconduct, and unprofessional behavior.”

Sweet was a tenured professor who had taught at the college five years. She earned $40,000 annually.

When did community college instructors become 'professors.' That is as ridiculous as the media's widely used 'law professor' to describe Dear Leader, when all he did was run an instructional forum in community organizing.

Maybe now she can get a job for which she is qualified....cleaning toilets at gas stations on the interstate.

I’m pretty sure that guy is a homo, so maybe they wouldn’t breed.

SWEET!!!! She’s history! Go ahead and apply for unemployment benefits S

Since she was terminated for cause, she is not eligible for unemployment benefits.

What the hell is going on in Florida colleges and universities? Some of them are Jihadist Central for the SE US, while Black racists and a few reds are embedded there too.

Esp. Florida State Un.

Any one got an answer?

“What took Brevard Community College so long?”

A proff at my gym was agonizing about an FSU teacher and student councilor who has obvious mental problems. Her communications skills had deteriorated to the point where she was incomprehensible. This had been going on for years. In the end, he did nothing. Apparently, one simply does not complain about another professor.

This would NEVER have happened if not for the courage of the kid at Florida Atlantic who refused to step on the name Jesus. This woman was suspended in Sept. They were likely just waiting for the heat to die down to send her back to her classroom like nothing ever happened.

"Apparently, one simply does not complain about another professor."

The good prof was suffering from a common Liberal syndrome.
