Teacher Compares Student’s Romney Shirt to KKK Robe

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.”

In 1861, Citadel cadets manning an artillery battery on Morris Island fired what many contend were the first hostile shots of the Civil War. That action repulsed the federal steamship Star of the West, which was carrying supplies and 200 federal troops that were dispatched by President Buchanan to reinforce Union Forces garrisoned at Fort Sumter.
During the Star of the West incident, the cadets flew as their banner a unique flag, observed by eye witnesses on the federal steamer, and described in a dispatch by a Union officer at Fort Sumter as “a flag with a red field, and a white palmetto tree.” The Big Red flag is now the official spirit flag of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and what is believed to be the flag that flew over Morris Island in 1861 is on display at The Citadel’s Holliday Alumni Center.

They did not fire on the fort. As you wrote, three months before the official start of the war they fired at a supply ship Star Of The West. Hit it several times and the ship turned around and left. There is several disagreements on who did what when.http://thekentuckycivilwarbugle.com/2011-2Qpages/citadel.html
Thanks for your input into this discussion. It’s been on-going between lots of people here and seems there is no end to it. Until now. Take care.

The Southern newspapers said at the time “The Union is Dissolved’’. I have no time for a moron like you. I’m done with you. The way I used the word ‘’pal’’ is not a term of endearment, trust me.

Says here it was a geometry teacher:

That certainly adds a new angle to the story.

Don't be obtuse.

This teacher should be fired ASAP. Disgusting bitch.

Funny. The news published the student's name, but not the teachers. It took some digging.

The incident went viral after Pawlucy and her parents began publicizing her claim that Lynette Gaymon, her geometry teacher, had publicly humiliated her for her t-shirt.

There is one Lynette Gaymon in Philadelphia according to the white pages.

Finally, back on topic. How did an article about union intimidation of a 16 year old student by a Yankee union thug disenigrate into a brawl over the War of Northern Aggression?

There will be a rally in Philly on Tuesday at Carroll High School in support of this young Lady and a Marine veteran and his daughter who were threatend with violence the day after Miss Gaymon was threatened with violence.

From Chris (Manchu) in Philly:
Some of you may have heard about the teenage girl who was belittled by a teacher and then classmates at a Philly School for having the temerity to wear a Romney for President t-shirt to class. I figure that's a problem for her parents, but now an active duty Marine was dropping his daughter off at the same school when BOTH of them began getting loud, raucous threats from students, some of whom yelled from windows, while teachers and staff watched with bemusement.
The Marine has asked me personally for a show of support from both clubs on this coming Tuseday, 9 October, 2012 at 1000hrs.
I realize that is a work day, but I will come in at midnight to leave work at 0830hrs, so I can be there.
I implore any of you who are on night work, have the day off, are retired, etc to come ride with me to send a message thatUNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will we stand by idly as a combat veteran and his daughter are threatened with violence.
I simply have had enough of these mother f***ers who believe it is okay to belittle members of the US Armed Forces.
Thanks much and I hope to see many of you there. Please pass the word to our brothers who may be technically challenged because this one is important.

Union teachers who are now being forced to intimidate high school students should demand a wage-hike.
They can't be expected to teach AND intimidate students for the same pay. Besides, that's not really in their job description.

Union teachers are only required to indoctrinate students into the marxist belief system and produce obediant little idiots. (A job they have been performing quite adequately based on the college students I see at OWS.)

The intimidation process is performed by goons who have received special training in the proper use of baseball bats and lead pipes. (Although the pipes should be an alloy of steel and lead to avoid trouble with the EPA).

The teacher should immediately contact her Business Agent and file a grievance for being forced to perform tasks not appropriate for her job title.
