Another reason to homeschool

[Flamingo Sherri]

A YouTube video uploaded on Monday afternoon apparently shows a schoolteacher from the Rowan-Salisbury school district in North Carolina informing a student that failing to be respectful of President Obama is a criminal offense. Breitbart News has uncovered that the student is a high school junior, and that the teacher is apparently one Tanya Dixon-Neely.
The video shows a classroom discussion about the Washington Post hit piece about Mitt Romney bullying a kid some five decades ago. One student says, “Didn’t Obama bully someone though?” The teacher says: “Not to my knowledge.” The student then cites the fact that Obama, in Dreams from My Father, admits to shoving a little girl. “Stop, no, because there is no comparison,” screams the teacher. Romney is “running for president. Obama is the president.”
The student responds that both are “just men.”
The teacher yells -- literally yells -- that Obama is “due the respect that every other president is due … Listen,” she continues, “let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” She yells over the student repeatedly, and yells at him that it's disrespect for him to even debate about Romney and Obama.
The student says that he can say what he wants.
“Not about him, you won’t,” says the teacher.
The teacher then tells the student – wrongly – that it is a criminal offense to say bad things about a president. “Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush? Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?”
The student says that it would violate First Amendment rights to jail someone for such sentiments. “You would have to say some pretty f’d up crap about him to be arrested,” says the student. “They cannot take away your right to have your opinion … They can’t take that away unless you threaten the president.”
Clearly, the student should be teaching the class, and the teacher should be reading the Constitution more often.
The school district classified the exchange – which is obviously just another case of a pro-Obama teacher shoveling her views down students’ throats – a “learning experience.” It isn’t. It’s political intimidation, and it’s just another example of how the American public school system has become an indoctrination tool for the left. This teacher should be suspended or fired forthwith, if only for incompetence.
UPDATE: Breitbart News has received information that the YouTube video was shot by a friend of the bullied student. According to our source, the student had asked his friend to record the discussion to "prove to his parents what he has been trying to tell them for some time. The teacher in this video has a long history of pushing a liberal agenda, by shouting down students. She is very intolerant of other points of view that she does not share. The atmosphere at this school is not very conducive to opposing views."
The source continues, "The student's parents have since taken him out of school and had him registered at another nearby school."

This teacher is an example of what can and does happen but the problem is deeper than an idiotic teacher. Just the fact that the majority of school personnel are liberals means that our kids are hearing the jargon & propaganda over and over again. (if not the personnel the curriculum is liberal)

It's so sad that the troop of Girl Scouts that I lead do not see past what they've been taught through the school system. (here's a short list that is being taught in our schools... (not discussed with the Girl Scouts)

God did not create the world/it all happened over billions of years

Man evolved from apes, not created by the hand of God (not even spoken into existence as the rest of creation)

We are not a Christian country

Man-made Global Warming is destroying the earth

We are over populating the earth

We need to lower our expectations as a nation so that the second & third world countries can catch up

'Safe s*x' really isn't s*x

Being 'gay' is just as appropriate as being 'straight'

That praying, talking to or about or doing school assignments related to God is illegal

That students are more intelligent than the parents
