A college professor has been placed on leave after she allegedly forced her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the upcoming elections.
Early last week Professor Sharon Sweet at Brevard Community College (BCC) allegedly told students to sign a pledge that reads: “I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.”

Her linked in profile says she has an Associates degree in Advertising Design. I thought you had to have a Master’s degree to teach even in a community colleges.
That would only be true if she was shilling for Romney. Since it was for Obama, no harm, no foul.
And when the story dies down, they’ll be reinstated with back pay and benefits.
Move along folks, nothing to see here.
This behavior is SOP, not rogue.
Yes. It seems Mike Hunt and Dick Hurts always signed into the same study hall at my high school!
I never failed to voice my opinions. In 1974, the 9th grade, I was asked to join the Young Democrat Club. Not that I was political then but I aksed if there was a Young Republican Club. Of course not I was told.
I started one for that reason alone. In Booneville, Arkansas.
If Holder's people were able to threaten voters with a weapon outside a polling place with and get away with it, why would this woman think she could not get away with this?
Neither have I. I had a high school history teacher who was of Japanese descent. He had us stage a mock trial for Harry Truman for dropping the H bombs on Japan. I was jury foreman and argued with my fellow jurors until I won an acquittal.
This same teacher and his parents were pulled from their home in California and placed in an internment camp. Funny thing though, he didn't want to put FDR on trial for doing that.
Along with their friend Harry Balzac.

Paging Mike Weir,Paging Mike Weir,Please go the white courtesy phone.
Ha! Really never heard that one. What a sheltered life I’ve led!
:-)
I actually worked with a Michael Hunt for over 6 years. Won't say where, but I'll never forget his reaction the first time I called him "Mike."
We did become good friends.
Do teens still even have the creativity and imagination to invent imaginary crude yet immensely funny classmates these days? Ah, the state of our public school system today...!
Der Fuher will not be pleased by her suspension.
that one will have me laughing off and on for the next 1/2 hour...................
Your story reminds me very much of the days of union activity in the early 1930s. My mother would come home from her $2-4 per week piece work job crying as to how the union thugs were harassing her to be on the picket lines making zilch instead of her working her fingers off to buy powder milk and 3-4 day old bread to feed two young boys. One of the boys died on Okinawa. I have since deliberately stayed away from any union work and spoke loud and clear that there should be no government employee unions. I believe that even FDR agreed with me.
Either way, that's pretty damned sad.
This is what Socialism looks like.
While working as the executive officer to the AF Contingency Support Staff in the basement of the Pentagon I once helped draft a request for release authority to drop nucs in the North Atlantic to take out the Soviet Boomer boats. It was a world wide paper exercise like Nifty Nugget or one of those. I can’t recall who was President but I think Jimmy Carter. The VP was playing as the President never plays in Pol-Mil games. The request went through the Joint Staff to WH and was denied.
