Teacher screams at student that it's ILLEGAL to criticize obama!!!

Once again -- moron -- people are saying kids are allowed to say ANYTHING they want in the classroom. My point is -- they are not. And not only is slander an EXAMPLE of what they are not allowed to say, teachers are allowed to LIMIT speech more for educational purposes. How many times MORON can't you figure that out?

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.

You are not qualified to call anybody a moron. Not by a long shot. People are SAYING that these kids didn't say anything wrong, NOT that they're allowed to say anything. Selective reading or illiteracy on your part, I'm afraid. Teachers don't have to tolerate abusive language or provocative speech, NOT facts they don't want to hear.

And YOU have never taught in a classroom with a bunch of hateful, mouthy kids who think they can spout off any awful thing that pops into their immature head.

It would probably have to be in conflict with the school's speech codes--which generally can only limit DISRUPTIVE speech.
But, even if the district here had a relevant speech code, what school policy would allow a teacher to arbitrarily shut down a kid from speaking just because she disagreed with his message? Especially if other political opinions were allowed and being expressed? Do you honestly think a court would rule in favor of the teacher (i.e., the school) here?

No, once again, the teacher said it is illegal to say WHATEVER you wanted, which is true, since slander is illegal. How many times do you morons not get it? On the other hand, the teacher is also right in limiting speech in class and the morons on here who don't get that also seem to be the type who never made it through 5th grade, which is why they speak on a very simple level which is just simply not true to reality.

Man...these obots are fucking whackjobs.

Kid should've just shouldered his pack, walked to the office, and sat it out to the next class when the conflict is over. Better (and more fun) to debate with the principal than some zombie teacher.

They were both wrong. The Teacher should not allow her personal beliefs to interfere while teaching students. The boy was obviously trying to instigate a fight. Both were in the wrong.

Her classroom. Her rules.
