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.

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!
Bravo! Too many have ignored this asshat kid’s actions just because they don’t like what the teacher did. This kid is no champion of free speech or conservative values. He is a loser just like the teacher.
Tanya Dixon-Neely will end up the principal of Cynthia McKinney High School, just you watch and see, lol
That is why she is teaching.
They had to close the comments section on the article. I guess people are still pretty upset.
Another ignorant Affirmative Action hire on the public payroll. There are millions just like her.
However, having a “teacher” like this in high school will train students to despise the incompetence of government lackeys like her. It will breed a generation of covert dissidents, such as it did in the old USSR, which will be sorely needed if the USA is to survive.
Like she is going to go into a screeching political rant in front of a classroom observer who is rating her teaching "skills".
The "positive" ratings that she received are objective at best.
I’m betting she didn’t advocate submitting to the Tyrant when the president was white...
(just flipping the table over on the leftists...)
Having been taught in the NC public school system, I can honestly tell you I have had at least 10 of her clones thoughout my education.
I was never taught anything past the Civil War. My history teachers, mostly black, stopped right there. I can tell you everything about the Underground RR, slavery and Harriet Tubman. Anything beyond that was what I had to learn on my own or in college.
The saddest case was Mademoiselle ‘M’- the ebonics speaking French teacher. Or maybe it was Mrs. ‘X’, my math teacher, who ‘took her break’ during our math class every day, leaving with her thermos, bound for the teacher’s lounge for her ‘hour long break’ that she took twice a day.
Chances the "objective observer" might actually disagree with her -- about as close to zero as you can possibly get.
It would be interesting, but I am sure disappointing, to see how many parents realize this school, and most other public schools are dangerous to their child’s mind and immediately pull their kids out, home school them, send them to private schools, or form a new Charter school.
It is child abuse to send you kids to public school filled to the brim with communist union teachers and certainly teachers who’s only criteria for their support of someone is skin color.
What on earth have we been thinking? Ever wonder why speaking/debating with a liberal is like having a conversation with a hyena? For decades commie union teachers have been implementing the very foundation of the communist manifesto in our public schools and the majority of us did nothing.
We should be ashamed. This has happened on our watch and the manifesto’s foundation is now firmly in place and producing an insurmountable number of young communists who are now the enemy within.
“Bravo! Too many have ignored this asshat kid’s actions just because they don’t like what the teacher did. This kid is no champion of free speech or conservative values. He is a loser just like the teacher.”
I disagree.
He suffered through her tirades previously and it was time this “teacher” was called-out for her inability to maintain order in a classroom and her tyrannical indoctrination of students.
The kid was pushing back and standing his ground.
The “teacher” could not handle the classroom and certainly could not handle principled disagreement.
The alternative was to have the classroom just sit and suffer, perhaps complaining to the administration or parents, but in that case, it is certain nothing would have been done to stop the insane “teacher.”
If he did not act she would still be in the classroom ranting and bullying, acting the complete fool and spewing unintelligent completely wrong information.
I view the actions of the kid as doing what needed to be done—instead of just sitting there like sheeple he brought attention to an abusive situation in the classroom and proving, yet again, the idiocy of leftists.
The kid is indeed a champion of conservative values.
