What's the Left's excuse now?!

By now, most of you have heard about this teacher who has berated a student for criticizing President Obama.  Apparently, it's ok to rip Romney, but, not Obama.  The students was asking questions, which, gosh, I thought was acceptable in a classroom.  Apparently, not in the classroom of a Ms. Tonya Dixon-Neely, a Social Studies teacher at North Rowan High School in Spencer North Carolina.  I have searched high and low for this lady's picture so we can see what stupid looks like, and have a face to put on why teacher's unions are not good for a child's education, nore are unions good in general.

At issue is a student who criticized President Obama.  This was in response to the teacher bringing up the subject of Romney "bullying" a student when he was in high school, 40 some odd years ago.  The fact that the teacher brought up the topic opens up the door for debate.  Period.  SHE brought it up, to degrade a student, and yell at him (if you've not heard the video, you really should), is not only unprofessional, but disguesting.  Any union that backs that teacher, is a pathetic, worthless piece of crap.  And a great argument why it should be disbanded.  Second, this student asks a very simple question "didn't Obama bully someone?"  This is a question that has already been answered in Obama's book "dreams of my father" in which Obama says he shoved a little girl.  I'd say shoving a girl is more serious than cutting a kids hair.  This teacher, moron that she is, very quickly stated she didn't know.  Really?  I'm sure she's memorized all of Obama's books at this point, so, she already knows the answer to the question, she just won't admit it.  So, the student answers for her.  This escalated the argument, again begun by the teacher.  This moronic teacher goes on to say you can't criticize the present.  She goes on to stated that "do you know how many people were arrested for criticizing Bush?!"  I can answer that for you right now.  NONE.  Period.  The ONLY way you're arrested for saying something against ANY sitting president is to make a threat towards them.  Period.  Now, the part that the Liberal Media refuses to report (you know, in addition to the story to begin with) is that this idiot is a SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER.  Clearly, she's qualified.  As a history teacher, you'd think she would know that freedom of speech is protected, even if it's criticizing the president.  Period.  ONLY if you make a threat, can you be arrested.  The student goes on to state that "you'd have to say some pretty f-ed up stuff to be arrested."  He goes on to tell the teacher that your freedom of speech cannot be taken away, you can only be arrested for making a threat against the president.  The teacher then says it's her duty to stop people from criticizing the president.  So, I'm wondering then, did this teacher prevent it during the Bush years?  I doubt it.  It's sad that this teacher has to be educated by one of her students.  Truly sad.  One can only imagine that this teacher got her teaching position through Affirmative Action, as she's clearly not qualified to teach.  However, as always, whether you agree with what I say or not, you're free to make up your own mind, and contact the appropriate people with your support or your own criticism.  I'll include lists of people below, including the Rowan-Salisbury School District School Board, the Superintendent, as well as the Principle of the North Rowan High School and the assistant principles.  I have e-mailed my letter to them (see below), feel free to contact them with your support or digust.

Sincerely, Reese Copeland Yakima, Wa.
