No, I based it on common sense and having some idea of what I was talking about. I'm sure both concepts are foreign to you.
:lamo Says the guy who's been making things up this entire conversation.
You just keep on keepin' on. Like I told some other new guy, there are all already enough long-standing members who can't be bothered to address what I actually say without making things up, so I have no reason to take a new one under my wing.
the teacher should be disciplined.
I don't care what spin you want to put on it.. I don't care what kind of conspiracy you want to attribute to the student.
the student did absolutely nothing wrong... and was mocked and ridiculed by her teacher for it.
I don't understand why some folks in here are trying to lay blame on he student...
well, that's not true, I do understand, i just find it sad that partisanship gets in the way of doing/saying the right thing.
well done, because of your support for Obama, you have just condoned the bullying of a student by here teacher... well done indeed.:roll:
There's only one hole here and for some reason I keep responding to him. The thread was a whopping ten days ago. Looks like my ADD comment was spot on. I'm sure if it had been titled "Romney supporter paddled by assistant principle" you would have been all over it. Never have I reversed myself on stating the teacher was out of line in what she did. I just don't think it merits quite the witch hunt you conservatives want, particularly since we only have one side of the story and the school has just begun its investigation. I know you righties are ready to crown this girl Miss Wingnut 2012 but it is still possible this entire incident was planned by her parents to make some cash. It's enlightening of the right's double standard that so many of you immediately jumped to the conclusion that the multiple women who accused Herman Cain of sexual misconduct were all gold diggers but refuse to even accept the possibility of such a motive here.
Probably a good thing when you can't admit you were wrong and just go away to sulk like a normal individual. I'm far too old to be taken under someone's wing and even if I wasn't I'd prefer someone who knew what they were talking about.
Yeah. I'll bet at this point you don't even know the difference between the copious absurdities you invented and attributed to me, and what I actually did say, in order for you to call me wrong.
Look, this game has been played long before you got here and will continue long after you flame out. Your passing will be as little-noticed as a gnat in a gymnasium. Your buzzing no longer holds my interest.
Not really, you are just having a comprehension problem. The Hitler example is meant to show that students in school do NOT have the same freedom of speech rights that adults do. If the school determined all political apparel was disruptive, they could prohibit it. The example of the young woman was merely to illustrate the old principle that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. If the girl ends up getting beaten up over this incident, as she claims she is fearful will happen, I think it outweighs the questionable gain of wearing a shirt parroting her parents views in an environment where it is unlikely she swayed anyone's voting preference.
If the teacher has that strong of political views and the poor judgment to do what she did, you don't think she has given an indication of those views prior to this incident? I guess it would never occur to you to question the wisdom of the parents allowing their child to wear the shirt into an environment where it might have led to physical altercations with other students? Since neither the girl nor her fellow students can vote, it seems somewhat provocative to begin with. My opinion is all political apparel of any sort should be banned from schools since it has no place there. My freedom of speech would allow me to wear a shirt glorifying Hitler out in public but I doubt any public school would allow it as it would be considered disruptive.
I don't know of any schools that say you're not allowed to express your political ideology. Why should she have to think about it beforehand?
Although they've met with school officials about the incident, neither Samantha nor her father are satisfied. "The teacher told us it was a joke. That she jokes around with students. There's nothing funny about what she did."
The school district confirmed to CNBC that an incident occurred and it is conducting an investigation to determine whether disciplinary action is necessary.
I would say that those two highlighted statements would confirm the girl isn't lying..... but hey I understand the need for liberals to come to the defense of another liberal ... no matter what was done
No one would ever say that CNBC was a conservative station , yet that is the what was used as a source.
I admit, maybe my comment was harsh. I just think people get their panties in a bunch over the dumbest things that happen in school. Maybe it's only me that thinks that way. Paddling was the norm when I was in school. I had a teacher that was obviously racist and used to paddle an arabic kid all the time in front of the class. Nothing ever happened to that teacher, most likely because the kids father gave him permission to do so. The teacher seemed to take pleasure in it when he did it. A little too much pleasure and he should have reprimanded for this.
My whole point is, the teacher supposedly pointed a marker at the student and made an x in gesture. How is this offensive? Why would this make someone feel like they can't go to school?
I used to get beat up at the bus stop almost everyday on the way home from school. It didn't make me afraid to go to school, but I did stop riding the bus. Maybe I have a thicker skin than most people since I had to put up with so much crap at school. The call it bullying today, back then it was considered normal behavior in school.
the teacher should be disciplined.

She was a black teacher who doesn't like the racism from the republican party. Not to be condoned, but if you harbor hatred for minorities, why is it you should not expect this.
Tell me, why was a high schooler wearing a pro-Romney shirt to school?
Really, that is your excuse for her?
She is upset about invented racism so she assaults her 16 year old student.
Is that the story you are going with?
Are you sure you don't want to say the air was too thin and she couldn't think so therefore she wasn't responsible for her actions?
. . .
Romney attempted to appeal to what he perceives as latent xenophobia by pitting the black Democratic president against white-bread middle America and conventional Main Street. In so doing, Romney became just another cliche, playing to the Southern racial politics of yesteryear — or what we hope is a bygone era. But is it really? Romney’s hedging his bets that it’s not and that he can manipulate the electorate with the specter of race and fear.
So, what do we get? Nuts being thrown at a black white-collar professional like she was a circus animal.
Whether serious or in jest, Romney’s comments dovetail with his recent racialized attack ads suggesting erroneously that Obama’s political “base” is welfare recipients. According to Romney, Obama paved the way for slackers and welfare queens by taking the “work requirement” out of welfare, thereby giving away Middle America’s hard earned tax dollars.
Interestingly enough, as with the Affordable Care Act, for which Massachusetts laid the blueprint when he was governor of that state, Romney was also one of 29 Republican governors to endorse waivers for the welfare work requirement. To now accuse a black president of pandering to welfare recipients when, in reality, the face of welfare is hardly black or brown, is an attempt to conjure up Willie Horton-style politics and fear among the majority of voters — particularly affluent and middle-class white voters. Romney’s attempt to Willie Horton-ize Obama is a weak attempt to sully a president whom many across the racial spectrum, according to polls, find highly relatable.

There's nothing invented in republican racism. It's in their platform
Mitt Romney and the RNC: Stoking the racial politics of yesteryear? - The Root DC Live - The Washington Post
Just cuz you're a white guy is no excuse to not know the racism that exists in your party
Does anyone else notice the complete irony of a republican girl complaining because she gets no respect? get used to it honey, no one in the Romney campaign or the modern republican party wants women to have opinions of choices. You are laughed at and mocked whiole men make decisions about what you can do with your body, while they decide you are not entitled to the same pay as a man, and when they decide rape is just a way to make you pregnant. If this is the worst you ever get in your life, then thank a democrat for protecting your rights. The only reasons republicans care you were mocked is because you were wearing a republican T-shirt. If you were wearing a dem t-shirt they would be the ones mocking you, and removing your right to complain because you are a woman and the bible says you are not as good as a man.
I just cannot believe her whining she wants respect while endorsing the party of overwhelming sexism.
I see because she is a woman and not towing the Democratic Party line you are astounded. BTW it was Republicans that supported the suffrage movement not Democrats.
You think teachers should be able to assault students like in this case?
Not really. A couple of years back I would have thought so myself. After seeing the birth control incident where the sausage fest barely had any women speaking, and the onloy one of note that did was called a slut and a whore by the right for standing up for medication. Then we have the idea thjat Ann Romney has a clue what it means to be a woman in the US. Then there was the whole women don't get pregnant by rape bull****, accompanied by the legitimate rape bull****, and finally them just settling on rape as a form of conception to be respected. Then there is the fight against equal pay for women. The republican party has doubled down on their sexism in the past year or so. though i dislike using the word war to describe what they are doing, the sexist attacks, and attacks on their ability to earn incomes and be healthy has really looked like a war on women.
I don't think pointing a marker at someone and making a gesture can be called assault.
What does this issue have to do with a person in a position of authority (a teacher) declaring that another person who is under that authority (a student under the school district) in public (to the whole class) that wearing a political t-shirt (which did not violate the schools public dress code for a casual day) of a Party (Republican) which the person who is in a position of authority (again the teacher) has opposition (I'll assume she is a Democrat) and calls the person under authority (again the student under the school district ) a racist (a slanderous accusation) and affectively accused her of either being like or supporting the KKK (both a slanderous provocative accusation)
The accusation of being like the KKK puts this in a "yelling fire in a theater" situation. From what I understand the teacher overspept her bounds with the demand of removal of the t-shirt since political t-shirts are allowed. The calling of the student for being like the KKK posibly put her life in danger.
One more for good measure...
I have never seen someone type out a speech impediment.
It's not a speech impediment. Please address my post. I made it easier for you by placing the specific identifier in red. Just read the black text for a general statement.
