A Philadelphia high school teacher is under investigation after she reportedly ordered a student to take off a t-shirt supporting Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign and compared the shirt to a Ku Klux Klan sheet.
The incident occurred at Charles Carroll High School in Port Richmond. When the student refused the order, she tried to throw the girl out of class.
The teacher reportedly told the 16-year-old student that the high school was a “Democratic school” and then threatened to use a marker to cross out Romney’s name.
Philadelphia School District spokesman Fernando Gallard confirmed to Philly.com that, “a teacher made some comments to a student wearing a Romney t-shirt in their classroom.”
“The comments were of a political nature, and also of a personal nature,” he told the newspaper. “We are looking into the comments, and the conduct of the teacher.”

Most likely you as well. Hopefully you’ll come to the awareness you’re in the 21st. century.
ps - perhaps you’d like to discuss Andersonville and Ft. Pillow?
That certainly adds a new angle to the story.
Shaking head in disgust with your sanctimonious attitude and ignorance. The truth is, I love talking about this stuff...with people who actually want knowledge.
Two things: 1) Address my points THEN we can talk about Andersonville.
2) If we talk about Andersonville, we also talk about Camp Douglas.
“Prisoners were deprived of clothing to discourage escapes. Many wore sacks with head and arm holes cut out; few had underwear. Blankets to offset the bitter northern winter were confiscated from the few that had them. The weakest froze to death. The Chicago winter of 1864 was devastating. The loss of 1,091 lives in only four months was heaviest for any like period in the camp’s history, and equaled the deaths at the highest rate of Andersonville from February to May, 1864. Yet, it is the name of Andersonville that burns in infamy, while there exists a northern counterpart of little shame.”
Funny how you question MY awareness and YOU offer NOTHING to the discussion.
Typical.
Hey, the war was over 147 years ago. Get over it. Seems you people don’t want to let go. Let it go.
The Symbol Of The South
I refuse to get into a debate with morons. Have a nice day.
I’m well aware that Lincoln had no desire to free the slaves. But however one looks at it, slavery WAS the reason for the war. My main bone of contention is this nonsense they push about the right to secede and how they wanted to be ‘’independent’’ and the undeniable fact that underneath all of Southern heritage’’ nonsense is the fact that those Southern plutocrats deliberately provoked a war and fired the first shots in that war that took the lives of 660,000 Americans. Consider if the South had won, what do suppose America would look like today?
Abe was a pragmatist about the matter; Republican attempts to get slavery banned had failed. (Those wascally Democrats.)
Whether slaves were the immediate cause in the mind of the South for rebelling, they were a moral albatross around the South’s neck. They doomed the South to failure because God refused to smile upon that. The reconstructed South was morally stronger than before, because it had been forced to give up its slaves.
Yes you’re right, on the history and thank you for a well-stated respectful post. I don’t mean to be so... strident or appear intemperate to folks of the South today, they’re not my enemy. I’m an American, I love our country and consider my fellow Americans from any point of the compass to be my equal and my brethren(libs, well, less so but I know God made them too) and I would NEVER want to see a repeat of 1861. I firmly believe God made this great land of ours the New Jerusalem, a New Eden of freedom and liberty and I’d never want it be dissolved again.
Good points. If they still want to continue the war, fine. Let them. Here we’re being told to forget 9/11 and move on but the South still wants to fight their war. Notice I said “Their war”
Glad to see you won’t talk to yourself.
I’d run away too if I was as ignorant as you.
Have a good life, and keep that mind closed tight.
I’m not pals with ignoramuses. The South had NO desire to dissolve the union. The union would have remained — just much smaller. If you don’t understand such basic concepts it makes little sense to discuss anything. But, if you’ll go back and address MY points, we can come back to yours.
I’ll be waiting...
You just keep fighting your war. It's the only thing people like you have to cling to. You've never advanced mentally out of the past. You believe in your Southern Aggression against the North. You still keep the slavery mentality. Have a good life and keep that mind of yours closed tight. G-d forbid any of it should leak out and contaminate others.
Dude. You said you were going away. Give it up. My repetitiously hurling insults, you’re just proving my point. Prove me wrong...address my comments.
Otherwise, don’t go away mad...just go away.
I read that you just changed your mind...so what did you do with the diaper?
Seriously...how old are you?
So who fired the first shots on Ft. Sumter?
A group of under age “boys” from the citadel disobeying orders. They where the ones who fired the first shots of the civil war.
On Thursday, April 11, 1861, Beauregard sent three aides, Colonel James Chesnut, Jr., Captain Stephen D. Lee, and Lieutenant A. R. Chisolm to demand the surrender of the fort. Anderson declined, and the aides returned to report to Beauregard. After Beauregard had consulted the Secretary of War, Leroy Walker, he sent the aides back to the fort and authorized Chesnut to decide whether the fort should be taken by force. The aides waited for hours while Anderson considered his alternatives and played for time. At about 3 a.m., when Anderson finally announced his conditions, Colonel Chesnut, after conferring with the other aides, decided that they were "manifestly futile and not within the scope of the instructions verbally given to us". The aides then left the fort and proceeded to the nearby Fort Johnson. There, Chesnut ordered the fort to open fire on Fort Sumter.[16] On Friday, April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m., Confederate batteries opened fire, firing for 34 straight hours, on the fort. Edmund Ruffin, noted Virginian agronomist and secessionist, claimed that he fired the first shot on Fort Sumter. His story has been widely believed, but Lieutenant Henry S. Farley, commanding a battery of two mortars on James Island fired the first shot at 4:30 A.M
