American Thinker "Meanwhile, back in October, a teacher who "allegedly" came out on Facebook (i.e., on her own time, in her own home) against gay history month got her name plastered up and down the news sphere, with investigations in full flower. Another teacher was suspended on similar grounds in August.
"But when you tell your students in a public school that George Bush "was sh---y" and that "people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush" (nonsense), you get full anonymity and mincing respect by the press. A teachable moment, indeed."
"The student replies that he’ll say what he wants.

Video stirs debate on teacher's actions in North class "The nearly 10-minute video, shot by a student and uploaded to YouTube on Monday, had been viewed more than 1,000 times by Friday afternoon.
"It begins with a classroom conversation about a recent news story detailing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney allegedly bullying a classmate in prep school. It turns into a heated, sometimes confrontational debate.
One student asks, “Didn’t Obama bully someone though?”
"The teacher responds: “Not to my knowledge.”
...."The student replies that he’ll say what he wants.
" “Not about him you won’t,” the teacher says.
"Later in the conversation, the teacher tells the class it’s criminal to slander a president."
You have to be patient; the small talk seems to dominate.

Teacher suspended after telling students not to criticize the president "The video, which was uploaded on May 14, had more than 178,000 views on YouTube as of Monday afternoon. The story has been picked up by national media outlets, including Fox News and the New York Post. Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh discussed the issue on his radio show on Monday afternoon as well." Via Weasel Zippers
Actually this story is about a courageous student, if you think about it. The story is about a courageous, informed student who stood up to a bully and was smart enough to get it all on tape. And look who comes out the winner here. A student outs a bully who happens to work for the government and it's now national news. Rush LimbaughNorth Carolina Incident is Perfect Storm of Educational Indoctrination, Media Malpractice "It’s a shame the student is leaving the school, and the teacher may stay. The student did nothing wrong, and if she keeps her job the teacher will remain in the classroom to bully and indoctrinate future students. This story is a wake-up call to parents, students and the millions of good teachers who are out there. We have to pay attention to what’s being said in the media, and we have to be aware of what is happening in our kids’ classrooms every day. Just as we have to have blogs to challenge and deconstruct the mainstream media’s rampant malpractice, we cannot leave education to the so-called professionals."
