Teacher Ridicules Student for Romney T-Shirt

So are you vehemently opposed to school uniforms? Are you aware of the rational behind schools adopting them?

The issue involved was not student uniforms but a teacher, an instructor, calling out a student for wearing a political t-shirt that the instructor was opposed to and that the same teacher compared wearing such is like supporting the KKK.


The issue is that a teacher, and instructor, not a fellow student was the one who singled her out for ridicule for wearing a political t-shirt that was within the schools dresscode.

You have no proof whatsoever the teacher is inciting violence or even(that I've seen) that the threat of violence has been confirmed and isn't a creation of the girl and her parents.

Accusing a person supporting the KKK is like yelling "fire" in a theater. It is a provocative statement made public inciting anger. One vid shown on this thread stated the teacher went further and had other teachers explain to their students how wearing a Romney/Ryan t-shirt is like supporting the KKK. This is akin to inciting a riot.


You claim that the teacher was wrong, but somehow it was the parents deliberate action is at fault for the outcome. Furthermore, you insist that the parents were fishing for a lawsuit. Do you have some evidence for your opinion or do you even have evidence that other parents go on these fishing expeditions for a civil lawsuit for money (not for policy changes).

I don't think it is at all "off the wall" to think someone might plan and execute such a scheme in a society where people jump in front of cars so they can sue the driver.

You go further and accuse the students parents of criminal conspiracy.


Your comparing how a assistant principal inappropriately enacted a punishment to what a teacher did to a student?
BTW, what was the Texas girl's offense again? Oh yeah, she mouthed off to the administrator. Funny how you didn't see that as free speech.

So two wrongs make a right?

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?

ahh... so the girl was a racist and the teacher was acting in some sort of self defense.



good lord:lol:

i did not say anything about the democrats. because she is a woman and supporting the blatantly sexist republican party. The dems have nothing to do with this.

Neither do the Republicans. The student wore a t-shirt supporting the Republican candidate for President and they are not responsible for her wearing it. Likewise, I do not think the Democrats are responsible for what the teacher did being that she is an Obama supporter
 

So you are defending what the teacher did?
 
Here's a hint to you liberals reading this who are defending this teacher.

This is BAIT. You took it.

Here's how it works. Every party has some nutjobs in it, that's given. So you find one nutty thing done by one nutjob from the opposing party, and you make a big news story about it. Then, as everyone rushes to defend it, they're guilty by association. Then your whole party looks like a bunch of nutjobs by association.
 


Ok I'm sorry that you were not able to understand what i writ. Lets see if I can simplify:

What did your post about the "sexism" of the Republicans have to do about a teacher publicly ridiculing a studnet for wearing a Romney/Ryan shirt?

Aside from the issue who pays for contraception and the abortifacient pill. Where is the Repubs "sexist"?

The shirt did not violate the standards of the school district for a Casual Dress Day. The issue is the teacher went outside of her authority to criticize.

The teacher accused the student of supporting the KKK essentially by wearing it and went to other teachers to denouce the student this is akin to incitement of riot. This is endangering the student would you agree evein if the Reublican Party is "sexist"?
 
Ever notice how this never happens over a shirt supporting a democrat?
 
It probably does, but it never makes the news. This is nothing but an election season "interest piece" that's just like I said above... planted BAIT for the dummies who want to t\ try to defend the nutty teacher, and in the process, make themselves and their party look bad.

I didn't take the bait. The fact is, we don't really know what happened in the situation because we weren't there. Perhaps they should teach the phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me", in school again. I think everyone needs to lighten up.
 
I'm not mean. Give this teacher the option of wearing a Romney/Ryan t-shirt every day till the election or being fired.
 

Kids have been wearing such shirts to school for a long time. We shouldn't be mitigating what this teacher did at all. No need to punish everyone for what that one teacher did.
 
It's sounds like the teacher would give a student extra credit for wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt.
 
According to a news update I heard on the radio while driving today (hence, no link), the kid is back in school after the teacher gave a written apology.
 

By that same idea, then any child up to the age of 26 that is still under their parents insurance shouldn’t be allowed to vote .. Nor should any college student unless he is paying his own way through college .. And has held a job .. Other wise he/she meets most of the criteria you have just set forth. for not being allowed to vote.

I don't eventhink it is about being a liberal. If this was about Reid, nobody would be defending the teacher, but it is about Obama.

He gets special treatment in most areas, he must be protected at all costs. It is getting crazy.

Oh, please. Plenty of us to the left believe bullying is wrong outright. Hacks will be hacks, though.

Are you telling me that if this kid had been wearing an Obama shirt, not a single righty hack would show up to blame her for the incident?

I am saying if she was wearing an Obama shirt the incident wouldn't have happened.

That is the difference between children (democrats) and adults (Republicans).
 
I don't see why this is a big deal. So what the teacher made fun of her shirt? There's no systematic bullying, there was a teacher expressing her opinion, nothing more. If she wants to take a stand, expect people to react to your stance so long as they don't infringe on your rights.

The teacher should be disciplined at all imo. This is a non-story.

Oh that's right... the most educated people in our society are all working to indoctrinate students into a life of liberal servitude.

Adults my ass.

If the kid had been wearing an Obama t-shirt there would have been no incident.

I will go a little farther to say that if the girl was wearing an Obama shirt there wuld have been no problem with any other teacher even if that other teacher is a Romney supporter.

Thanks for showing me that you are what you hate. :lol:
 
It's probably a non-story to you because you seem to have not read the story. There was a whole lot more going on than the mere expressing of an opinion.
 
Meh, I just think the girl's family is making too much of a deal about this by getting the media involved. Same case would be if it were a student with an Obama T-Shirt somewhere in Mississippi. Worse stuff happens at schools everyday that barely gets reported. I am in no way defending the teacher for her stupid actions; she should (probably already did) be disciplined. On the other hand, I think the girl is (or was) exaggerating by being afraid of going to school. Honestly, it was said that no one really minded her t-shirt. Why would they do so thereafter? I don't think the teacher told them to beat her or whatsoever.
