N.C. TEACHER TELLS STUDENT HE COULD BE ARRESTED FOR TALKING BADLY ABOUT OBAMA
The Blaze ^ | May 20,2012 | Mike Opelka

Last Monday, a high school student in North Carolina engaged his social studies teacher in a heated debate about politics and the two leading presidential candidates. During the exchange, the teacher (an obvious Obama supporter) got very angry with the student and accused him of disrespecting the president. She even went so far as to tell the boy that he could be jailed for speaking ill of Obama.

Sarah Campbell of the Salisbury Post first reported on the story. She claims that the school district is not releasing the name of the teacher and that she is not responding to requests for public comment (although the two students identified her to the newspaper). According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:

“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.” So, how bad was the exchange? It got fairly heated, with the teacher shouting at times. The kerfuffle started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:

Some folks on this thread are making sweeping statements and generalizing for effect.

Went with that and did a search. Came back with numerous hits on the name. Have been looking for a connection to the high school and have found none, or found just what you found ... nothing saying this person is a teacher (confirmed). Not sure what to make of it. Did find a 2003 council meeting minutes of a library, if remember correctly set up and appreciation to named person and others, but as for finding confirmation the named person is a teacher ... not finding anything. Still looking.

You’re correct. My statement was a generalization also. Guilty, y’onor.

At the very least, Obama is a Socialist. More likely he’s a dyed in the wool Marxist. This is blatantly obvious from his own words and the life long associations he has himself chosen. To argue otherwise is absolute self delusion at best and outright treason to the principals on which this country was founded at worst.

from the mailing (sent and read, reply received) would one think the named person is a teacher? Seems so. So wonder why we are unable to find anymore info to confirm without going to the district to look at the employee listing? Dang ... these questions pile up and up and up.

It must be a black thing defending the pretender in the white house....white guilt helped get him elected in 2008 and in 2012 black guilt is supporting him because he is a disaster.

On another note this speaks to the North Carolina school system where busing still takes place today to integrate the schools. So these kids could be from well to do areas and have to be bused to poor areas for balance.

Maybe some FReepers in NC could further elaborate. That sh*t wouldn’t happen in the school district where my kids attend. We didn’t even allow Obama’s address to the school kids be aired to our children.

Given my choice of screen names, I guess I'm going to a FEMA gulag.

Before I go, I'd like to say this to our Dictator in Chief:

SHOVE IT.

Good for you! We really shouldn't let them get away with any crap. They should be fired or school taxes (property taxes) will be held until the parents get their way.

It could be done if people stand together. Two or three parents can make noise but won't go anywhere.

Yikes! You’re right! It’s kinda like the Hooded Justice from the Watchmen! (This joke may go flat if you’ve never seen the movie or read the book. If that’s the case, my bad.)

Is it me or has the country lost its mind ? We’re on the edge of complete and total disaster. The Doomsday Clock is at 11:58:59.
