FAIRFIELD, Ohio - A southwest Ohio teacher who allegedly responded after a black high school freshman said he wanted to become president that the nation doesn't need another black president has been disciplined.
The Fairfield board of education this week suspended teacher Gil Voigt without pay. The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News reported that board president Dan Murray said that the suspension is the first step in the termination process.
When a black student in the northern Cincinnati suburb earlier this month said he wanted to be president, the white teacher made an apparent reference to President Barack Obama, according to school officials, and allegedly said: "We don't need another black president."
Voigt, who has taught at Fairfield since 2000, reportedly told school officials he was misquoted. A telephone message left for him Friday wasn't immediately returned. He has 10 days after he is formally notified to appeal before the school board.

>> We don’t need another MARXIST president. Would that be OK?
Hell yes!
Ideology is important. Race is meaningless. Gender is meaningless.
President Janice Rogers Brown would suit me just fine.

I’m sure he was. Nobody is that stupid except maybe for the damn idiots who put this black-racist Marxist Muslim in power.
And NO, we DON’T need another President like THIS one in ANY COLOR, even if she is white with a face lift, blue eyes and a blonde dyed wig and has learned to shave her armpits.
It is just as racist as saying that we need a black President.

I think the mainstream media is generally very biased and racist.
And I also think that's a racist statement.
I'm not sure what "too racist" means. I believe it's a Boolean thing. Like "pregnant."
I don't know if islamist is a race. I don't think it is.
Absolutely!
I am in agreement with you. However, I seem to recall that not so long ago (last year?) there was a group of about six or seven middle-eastern males who boarded a passenger aircraft and then proceeded to speak to each other quite loudly across the cabin of the craft and make suspicious demands such as seatbelt-extensions for themselves although not one of them was overweight in the slightest.
When the plane was diverted and the persons displaying such disturbing actions were removed they began making claims of "racism" and izlam-o-phobia, then hired lawyers to sue the airline(s) involved.
Apparently, this administration also considers it such.
Forgot to add: "in an apparently middle-eastern language" (arabic?) to that sentance.
NO UNAUTHORIZED OPINIONS ALLOWED!
As I learn more about genetics I know less and less about what the work “race” means.
Liberals like to put humans in groups and compare the groups. One of the groups is always underserved which enables them to “help.”

It’s all about control. And the perspective that results from grouping is very much counter to the concept of equality and rights as described in the Constitution.
Thomas Sowell has some very good writing on the subject.
Should have answered “You’d be the first real black president”.
The teacher should say, “The students failed to listen to the last
part of my statement. I said, ‘we don’t need another black president
if he or she is a conservative’.”
CASE CLOSED
Black, white, purple, yellow, whatever.
It’s the ideology. It’s the character.
Basically, America doesn’t need another big government president. America needs a patriot who doesn’t care what the polls say. Just get in there and get the job done.
If that is what he said, it does come off as racist.
However, I heard plenty of people say we had enough white Presidents.
Offending the race hustlers is worse than rape, at least in the eyes of the far left. Decent people care about children and disagree, but libs care only for power, and the race card must always be honored or they lose part of their power.
don’t think we needed this buffoon either
By being [touted as] black, he has set his race back by generations. Now we know what a “black” President will do. Who would ever vote for another “black “ Presisent in their lifetime?
Would you consider "being uncomfortable around groups of blacks" to be the same as "desiring complete extermination of the black race"?
