Outspoken 13-year-old, black conservative activist, CJ Pearson is used to people attacking him for his views, but he never expected it to come from one of his teachers.
Pearson told BizPac Review on Tuesday that the sixth grade teacher at Columbia Middle School in Evans, Ga., Michael Garrison, told students in his class that CJ is “not worth saving in a fire” and that he “hates him.”
Pearson, who was recently involved in controversy when he claimed he was blocked by President Obama’s Twitter page, said he was told by several students who were in Garrison’s class when the comments were made on Friday. Ted Cruz CJ Pearson

According to Pearson, the students also told him that Garrison accused Pearson of cheating on a vocabulary test when he was in sixth grade, a charge that Pearson vehemently denies.
“It’s always great having a teacher that’s not only a liberal bully, but someone who engages in slander,” Pearson told BizPac Review sarcastically.
Pearson, who has become a social media sensation with several viral videos, tens of thousands of followers and numerous appearances on Fox News, said he expects criticism but when that criticism comes from a teacher, it crosses the line.
“My words are bold and I don’t expect everyone to agree. But to have a teacher say this about me? Completely inexcusable. I hope the Columbia County School District addresses this,” Pearson said.
“Also, our school has zero tolerance bullying standard for students. I hope that standard isn’t easily forgotten when it comes to teachers.”
School principal Eli Putnam gave a statement to BizPac Review Tuesday afternoon, promising a full investigation into the allegations.
“This was brought to our attention after it was posted on social media. We have been on an extended holiday weekend and will conduct a full review of the allegations once school resumes tomorrow,” Putnam wrote. “Columbia Middle School believes all students should be taught in a safe and positive environment. Accordingly, if the claims are substantiated we will handle the issue as a personnel matter.”

Marxists always keep it classy don’t they?
That is not acceptable for a teacher to say. And it wouldn’t be acceptable to say to a left leaning student, either.
That kid is smarter than his teacher.
If I was a 13 year old kid who had to waste his time in school with a teacher like that, I’d be pretty angry, too.

Bkmrk.
Well the teacher's name IS Mr. Garrison. No wonder he hates Pearson. He's a conservative:
That kid is smarter than his teacher.
But did he invent a clock?
CJ is a great kid and has a great future ahead of him if this “teacher” said this he should not only be fired, but put in a burning house and have no one come save him, see how he likes them apples
some of the worst teachers are in 5th and 6th grade. the reason is that the kids are young enough to bully and the teacher gets away with it. the problem is proving it happened and it not being a kid that is himself being mouthy and lieing....it is the teachers word against the student on what is taking place unless the teacher is really stupid and it is evident to other teachers what is going on or the teacher has a history of behavior.
More intolerance from the group that screams for tolerance.
Why should I save your a$$

You wouldn’t believe the things ‘teachers’ say to my kid. I’m about to yank him out of ‘publik skool’.
This young man is years ahead of his time in both wisdom and intelligence.
The teacher, on the hand, is a c..t regardless of his or her gender.
This teacher should be black balled from teaching anywhere forever.
Yes its the same thing as saying I would like to kill you or I’d be fine if you died. A teacher is supposed to be the adult in the room. At the very least he needs to be disciplined. Or apologize to the kid.
I dispute. 7th & 8th are the WORST.
Not these days - a student could easily record on a cellphone showing the teacher mouthing off - I am all for CC monitors in all classrooms starting in middle school, both as a defense for teachers and students.
