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.

Nope. Not her. Someone at North Rowan High School. I’ve asked for my posts to be deleted.

Your post indicates that you believe that (at least one) public school is in operation to educate American youth.

That makes you useful.

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

I could just see this twit teacher putting the back of her hand to her mouth in that cliched horror movie scream when she heard him bash Obama as if God almighty was being cursed. “Y-You dare to foul The Ones name? AIIIIIEEEEEEE!”

I went to a fairly decent public school. Unfortunately its a marxist indoctrination center these days.

Now that this has happened, the school will probably really clamp down on student cell phone usage.

I meant about the “comrade” part in your post 34. What did you mean by referring to me as “comrade”?

My bet is that she’s attending a church with a Wright-like pastor. Lot’s of trouble brewing in those kinds of churches.

Inebriation, or goodly consumption, is making it’s presence known on FR this afternoon, on various threads. Thank goodness you’re not contributing to the fuzziness of thinking so evident today.

“The teacher said hating on Bush was OK because he deserved it.”

That is not exactly what she said...the conversation went like this...

“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about him.”

To which the teacher responded:

“Because he was sh-tty.”
