When I was in public school, it was "illegal" for me to disagree with the teacher by saying that "I don't think gay people are evil"

So what ever.

It's not illegal now; nor has it ever been illegal. If you believe this, then you are yet another who has been brainwashed by teachers that have no business in a classroom.

The actual video. She needs to be kicked out of school.



 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1711362


Yes, this is enough. She's lost control of her classroom.

The class time is being used for some rambling political discussion, and then when she doesn't like something, she threatens the students.

Class time is supposed to be use productively. And of course students should not be threatened in ways that violate fundamental American values and rights.

Definite "black" accent, it might be hard to fire her for cause because of that. But fired she should be.

Re: Teacher screams at student that it's ILLEGAL to criticize obama!!!
Read the comments from this article. The boy's father is the first comment. Everyone else is pissed over this.

The father's comment:

I'm the father of this student. My son and two other students in this class have been attacked daily from this teacher, and the rest of the class, for their conservative political views since the beginning of this semester. I told him to stay out of the political conversations, but she said that if he didn't participate he would receive a bad grade. This teacher is politically ignorant! I teach my sons to respect other peoples political opinion, but she has no right shoving her opinions down his throat! Since this day I have had to remove him from North Rowan High School and am going to enroll him at RCCC to finish his education. I am outraged that she can conduct herself in such an unprofessional manner and receive no disciplinary action. THIS IS NOT OVER! I will attempt to contact Rush Limbaugh this week.

Read the rest.

This discussion was mandatory, but you had to have the right opinion. Boy my country is getting worse. Having kids in school in a "good" district, I can see how things are tightening up in the area of mind control.

My 8th grader just had a unit on the Holocaust. Not only did they make students write several politically correct compositions (which he handled like a champ) but they gave a "critical reasoning" test about the Holocaust. I've never seen such a test about any other topic. But if you don't agree with them about this issue, you are deemed to have deficient "critical reasoning" skills.

Fortunately he's very cool, and communicates about this stuff, and we are getting through it with logical reasoning intact I think.

Same stuff in other grades, but this is somewhat more blatant (read, laughable with the perspective of adulthood) than the other things I've observed.

well done, my friend and will do!

clearly ms. tanya has not read "Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry.
one of my favorite quotes:

"a woman who has adjusted to many things in life and overcome many more, her face is full of strength. She has, we can see, wit and faith of a kind that keep her eyes lit and full of interest and expectancy."

how sad that her classrooms are breeding grounds for hate and bigotry.

when prayer was removed from our classrooms, abortions, crime and drugs went up exponentially.
now that free speech has been replaced by bull dog tactics and tazers - what will be next?

If you are reading this: do something. The pen IS mightier than the sword. make this event viral.

I believer the internet bloggers and posters HAVE stayed the hand of some of the ptb.

Re: Teacher screams at student that it's ILLEGAL to criticize obama!!!
I actually thought that this was true. That it is illegal to say anything bad about the president and if you do, you're labeled a terrorist.

The teacher was snapping at him because she didn't want to see the child get sent to guantanamo bay, only to be tortured and water-boarded into admitting that they are the mastermind behind 9/11.

Free speech is long gone. Didn't someone get arrested for criticizing Obama on facebook or twitter?

You have to admit, Obamas ego is so massive that he is likely to send anyone who criticizes him to guantanamo bay. Whether they are criticizing the way he runs the country or something small, like what tie he chose to wear today. Say anything bad about him and straight to the dungeon for you!

He is a dictator, not a president. That's what dictators do.

It's true that slandering the president is illegal, but it's illegal to slander anyone. There is a huge difference between slander and criticizing though. Unfortunately these days if you just criticize (rather than slander) Obama, you will get into a lot of trouble.

No more free speech for you.

I just had a sec and was checking in. To see if anything crazy going on. Have not read this thread yet, so pardon me if I'm repeating an idea and/or opinion. I'll catch up later this evening.

Just had to speak my mind

I rarely become irate about anything....but this infuriates me.

Not only is this our RIGHT to question our govt, I feel it is our RESPONSIBILITY. Speaking for myself only, had I not been sleeping for the past 20 years, and had I not taken our government/elected officials at face value, perhaps I could have made a difference before now. Not to sway people to my way of thinking, but only to open their eyes to the fact that mass media is a total fraud, biased, and for the most part, a work of complete and utter fiction.

Like I said...I'll read all these pages later...but having just read the first page.....I'd LOVE the opportunity to give that teacher a piece of MY mind ohyeah ohyeah ohyeah

Ummm....it's called "Affirmative Action" or the "Quota system" here. Do you not have anything similar where you live? The "law" says that a certain percentage of a college's student body has to have a specific "make-up" (i.e., minority, female, handicapped, etc.) and since there are only a certain number of openings, oftentimes eminently more qualified candidates are passed over in order to meet the quota, even if they are demonstrably less qualified.

Re: Teacher screams at student that it's ILLEGAL to criticize obama!!!
The teacher yells -- literally yells -- that Obama is “due the respect that every other president is due … Listen,” she continues, “let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” She yells over the student repeatedly, and yells at him that it's disrespect for him to even debate about Romney and Obama.

The student says that he can say what he wants.
“Not about him, you won’t,” says the teacher.
The teacher then tells the student – wrongly – that it is a criminal offense to say bad things about a president. “Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush? Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?”

The student says that it would violate First Amendment rights to jail someone for such sentiments. “You would have to say some pretty f’d up crap about him to be arrested,” says the student. “They cannot take away your right to have your opinion … They can’t take that away unless you threaten the president.”


Garbage like this from this teacher goes on everyday in classrooms all over the country.

concerning the issue of slander supposedly being illegal, there are no criminal statutes for defamation at the federal level.

and even for civil suits, i think that most politicians are going to get very little protection from the courts, especially the president.

in any case, arresting someone for criticizing the president is not legal. if someone can provide a case, please jump in.

BTW great catch by the student. Romney admitted to bullying, but it's huge from a PR standpoint that Obama has also admitted to bullying. It should wash away that issue.

Great job, and the more publicity this gets, the more his message will spread.

(If the teacher had just said "hm, that's interesting" none of this publicity would have happened -- glad it's an epic fail by that teacher!)
