The North Rowan High School teacher who told students it’s criminal to speak ill of the president will keep her job with the Rowan-Salisbury School System.
Although Tanya Dixon-Neely has been suspended without pay, she will return next school year, when she will be required to start a monitored growth plan, Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said in a press release.
The district received national attention when a nearly 10-minute video of Dixon-Neely and senior Hunter Rogers engaging in a heated political debate went viral. In the video, the Dixon-Neely can be heard telling Rogers that he could be criminally charged for speaking ill of President Obama and that people had been charged for insulting former President George W. Bush.
“As I have stated to our entire school system staff, I expect all teachers to be professional during class discussion and not to force their personal or political views on students, demean students, or instruct students on what to believe,” Grissom said in the release. “Teachers must create a positive instructional environment conducive to learning within the guidelines of our state curriculum.
“Ms. Dixon-Neely’s failure to meet these standards during the recorded portion of class is the basis for my disciplinary action against her.”
But Grissom said school administrators report the recording does not reflect Dixon-Neely’s usual performance as a teacher. She received two formal classroom observations before the recording in May, both positive.

Before taking on a role in the regular classroom setting, Dixon-Neely had been assigned as a teacher in the district’s Alternative to Suspension program, which relocated to North Rowan last fall. During the second semester, she was transferred to a regular classroom due to staffing needs, Grissom said.
It appears even the school thugs know this woman was not qualified even to teach the most basic courses - she was basically as a guard or corrections officer over a cafeteria full of students who should have been suspended before they allowed her to go into a real classroom.
Have any of you heard the tape?
Her IQ must be about 70 - and that is being generous.
It is NOT about IQ.
It is about HER WILLINGNESS to break the Law,
and to force children to submit to the Tyrant.
She does it well and will be VERY well rewarded for
her lawlessness.

How about not being an idiot?
Name the person that was charged criminally for speaking ill of President Bush.
State the Statue that allows criminal charges for speaking ill of Obama.
This person is either to stupid to be teaching or to mentally ill......
It never even occurred to me that she WOULD be fired.I agree. I never thought for a second that flatulent-brained school administrators would see anything severely wrong with this.
Will keep her job? I’m shocked that she wasn’t named the Secretary of Education!
Hyphenated names in America usually belong to certified imbeciles. This moron should have been sacked.
What is a “monitored growth plan”?
Any fool who runs a classroom like this belongs in a job that requires no skills whatsoever.

Well I swapped emails with ol’ Judy here (the Sup). Thanked her for, yet again, helping to embarrass the living hell out of my State; pointed out that anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew this idiot should be nowhere NEAR a classroom.
It is very difficult to follow the audio on the video below, because Dixon-Neely runs a very disorderly classroom, in which everyone talks and laughs among themselves, while she is speaking. That includes the student whom she harasses on the tape, and his friend, Steven Sanchez, who is doing the taping. The dissenter has the right to his opinion, but he, his friend, and other students have no business making so much noise during class. However, Dixon-Neely clearly does not consider this disruptive, but rather normal behavior.
Aside from being a moron who cannot speak proper, intelligible English, and a bully, Dixon-Neely is an incompetent who tolerates cursing in her classroom, and who herself curses!
I’m guessing it’s a flowery way of saying remedial education for educators.
...last I heard she retired. But as we all know, what we’re told in the MSM is not always true, especially when it comes to protecting criminal stupidity and incompetence.
Not surprised to learn that the teacher is “African American”.
U.S. students lag behind in math, science and reading

With teachers like this, no one should be surprised. Sad for the future of our country. And when was the last spelling bee winner a white American child of white American parents?
That’s it!
I’m giving up my six figure job with high stress and great employment risk to be a teacher!
Sure, I’ll make less but won’t ever have to worry about losing my job!
{That is IF I make tenure}
Year, Gets Lay-Off Notice From Sacramento School District Amid Budget Cuts

Nothing new here. She is a member of the protected class and one of Holder’s people. Next month she will probably be a principal, or maybe the Superientant of Education of the County.
She may be Teacher of the Year ... but she's been assimilated by the borg. Here's her reaction to her dismissal:
"It hurts on a personal level because I really love what I do," Apperson told KXTV. "But professionally, politically, I get why it happens."
When they come for her, she'll head off to the "showers" without a peep.
