Obama's teacher of the year

Our media missed this one... Larwyn didn't:

If you're not outraged by this thug teacher brow-beating the McCain supporters in her classroom, then you're despicable.

To think that her thuggery, especially of the little girl whose father serves in the military, was validated by the election of Chief Thug Obama is enough to make me ill.

4 years won't go by quickly enough.

Michelle Malkin speaks for me:

This is child abuse plain and simple. The “educator” should be disciplined, fired, forced to apologize publicly, and banned from the classroom.

That is despicable and unacceptable. It's also all too common.

I'm a democrat and I thought that was awful. That kind of stuff needs to stay out of the classroom. She should be disciplined. Teachers shouldn't use their position as a soapbox. It's unfair to the kids and their parents.

I wouldn't go so far to call it thuggery or brow-beating, but her actions and comments were inappropriate. I felt bad for those kids that said they supported McCain, especially the girl whose dad serves in Iraq. What an awful feeling for her.

From her comments in the interview after the classroom shots, I get a sense that she perhaps doesn't realize the degree that she made those students feel uncomfortable. I think she deserves a chance to change her behavior, but my concern is that if she is so transparently partisan, I'd be surprised if she isn't equally one-sided regarding other issues (democratic policies vs. republican polices).

WRAL Raleigh follow up

Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County Schools officials expressed shock and disappointment Friday upon learning of an online video in which a local teacher tells a student her father might be deployed for years because the family supported John McCain for president.

NickS - that shows how ignorant the teacher is about deployments.

The terms are set - 12 months, 15 months, and they are kept to very strictly.

My son served two deployments - one 12 months, and this last one 15 months that he just got home from.

She was just trying to intimidate a little girl. What does that say about this teacher? That she's so immature that she has to browbeat children?

She does not belong in the classroom.

That teacher deserves to be fired for harrassing a little girl like that. I have a friend who's dad is in Iraq, and I am joining the military myself. If I was her parents, I would have told that teacher off.
