Colo. Teacher Sorry for Kicking Student (Because He Was Wearing a GOP Shirt)

ABC ^

[Natural Law]

I would have knocked her out on the spot if she had kicked me. Everyone has a right to defend ones self.

[RobbyS]

She felt safe in guessing that he would not slap her silly.

what could we expect from the 'peace and tolerance' party. It's become so apparent that the demonrats are the epitome of hypocrisy. They are the party of terrorism and intolerance.

[SoDak]

Where can I get one of those shirts? I'd like to get one for my nephew.

[paudio]

I hope FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) will take the case to court... Just so it will be exposed more...

[cincinnati65]

Hate Crime??

[Wild_Bill_8881]

I don't even wonder anymore

people like her ARE nuts, and there are WAY to many of them

written apology my butt, book her Dano and let her spent a night or more with fellow Democratic voters

[Mo1]

," she wrote. "Before the incident, I did not know you and that you are a Fort Lewis student."

HUH????

Ummm .. didn't your mother teach you manners??

You don't kick ANYONE

If people would note, there are constantly instances of women slapping, hitting, kicking and doing other negative things to men on television and in the movies. This is supposed to be funny or worse yet the appropriate thing to do.

It's no wonder this woman felt empowered to do what she did.

I mentioned to a coworker that a friend of mine had been assaulted by a woman years ago and she thought it was hilarious. This negative mindset has been instilled in women by the major media outlets.

Ask yourself if it would be appropriate for the media to show men doing these things to women, in a setting that wasn't trying to demonize the male, and you'll begin to realize the point I'm trying to make here.

It's wrong for women or men to use physical means unless defending someone from physical harm.

O'Donnell said the apology wasn't enough and he plans to file a complaint with the college.

About what? The college didn't kick him.

[radiohead]

She will probably get promoted with a pay raise.

Not necessarily. Few things will get your rear called on the carpet in academics like physically assaulting a student. Shows a lack of control and the parents tend not to like it.

And while individual profs may be idiotic libs and think this is kind of activity is funny, the administration knows this type of publicity can reduce future applications and alumni donations and won't look kindly at it.

The prof should be fired or at least severely reprimanded. I hope the kid sues.

O'Donnell said the apology wasn't enough and he plans to file a complaint with the college.

File a complaint with the college? File a complaint with the college? Why isn't he pressing charges for assault and battery?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

There is another twist to this. Why is it ok for a woman to kick a man.... if this were a male teacher kicking a female student we would have Nacny Pelosi and Hillary marching and demanding someone got fired.

We would have shows on Oprah.

"Before the incident, I did not know you and that you are a Fort Lewis student."

If I lose my 'teaching' position, I might actually have to work and be productive. Damn you and your right-wing consequences!

[Balto_Boy]

Agreed, but part of the problem is that MEN don't take it seriously. That is, until it happens to them. Then they are subjected to the same redicule they inflicted on others.

At some point, men are going to have to start taking female violence against males seriously and start treating violent women as criminals. Until then, as long as men allow women to get away with this, women with violent tendencies will continue to assault men.

[HitmanLV]

Our side really needs to start kicking back and not standing there wide-eyed.

I walk around Las Vegas just looking for a fight, sometimes. ;-)

[HitmanLV]

I would have punched her lights out. Then again, I am a bit of a 'bruiser' for a 5'8, 190lbs Italian guy who always wears black and leathers, who looks like an extra from the Sopranos. :-)

[the invisib1e hand]

men just deal with it. that's what men do.

[Sola Veritas]

I would file an assault and battery complaint. Then I would file a lawsuit claiming my civil rights were violated - they were actually. That would get some attention.
