Liberal Teacher revealing intolerance and typical behavor expected of them

[Unified Serenity]

This is hysterical though very sad. This is a high school teacher talking about Obama and arguing with a student. Talk about setting an example of how to have a mature discussion / debate. This is how liberals "debate". They demand you shut up, try to pull rank, and cannot defend their beliefs logically. This teacher needs to be fired. I will post the transcript below.

It starts at about :53

Last Monday, a high school student in North Carolina engaged his social studies teacher in a heated debate about politics and the two leading presidential candidates. During the exchange, the teacher (an obvious Obama supporter) got very angry with the student and accused him of disrespecting the president. She even went so far as to tell the boy that he could be jailed for speaking ill of Obama.


Sarah Campbell of the Salisbury Post first reported on the story. She claims that the school district is not releasing the name of the teacher and that she is not responding to requests for public comment (although the two students identified her to the newspaper). According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:

“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.”

So, how bad was the exchange? It got fairly heated, with the teacher shouting at times. The kerfuffle started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:

“Didn’t Obama bully somebody, though?”

The teacher started to get angry and said:

“Not to my knowledge.”

A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry teacher.

“Stop! Stop! Because there’s no comparison. He’s running for president. Obama is the president.”

As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by the teacher. She continued:

“You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama is. There’s no comparison.”

Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the histories of both men, with one saying:

“If you’re gonna talk trash about one side, you gotta talk trash about the other.”

The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:

“You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”

Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment right.

“I’ll say what I want.”

The still unidentified teacher read the student her rules…her Obama rules.

“Not about him, you won’t!”

The back and forth continued and the most strident of the two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to negative statements about him while he was in office:

“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about him.”

To which the teacher responded:

“Because he was sh-tty.”

The social studies educator went on for a full minute with more ranting, saying that people were arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be arrested unless you threaten the president.
Our research has not turned up a single case of anyone in America being arrested for speaking ill of former President Bush. The local newspaper story also mentioned that their discussions about the story with a political science professor could not recall the arrests that the teacher was speaking about.

Sorry, this teacher (is she really a teacher?)needs to be dismissed, for gross misconduct and not working to the job description. I don't hear any educating going on...well I think the kids are trying to educate the teacher, but I don't think it's working.

Thanks for posting, let us know if this goes any further!

....poor kids. At least they can recognise when they hear a load a blarney...that indicates to me there is hope for the future!!

[Whiskey_Mystic]

Oh, those darned liberals! They did it again! If only we could get rid of those darned liberals.

[Lettherebelight]

Maybe a better adjectival phrase would be 'hugely misinformed to the point of incompetence' rather than 'liberal'?

[Mulder]

This is only one arguement. Maybe the teacher was having a bad day? People shouldn't be "written off" over one occasion.

[Dennis Leahy]

Thread improperly titled.

This has nothing to do with the terms "liberal" or "conservative" which are simply words, that have almost no meaning at all any more (if they ever did.) The proper term is "loudmouth idiot." You can toss in "hypocrite", and possibly (dare I say) "racist."

[write4change]

This is at least the second thread where the term liberal is explicity used in a offensive way. I do find this offensive. Usually I do not open or participate in such threads. But like Dennis said the title liberal has nothing to do with this thread.

My third grade teacher was horrible and almost turned me into a juvenile delinquent. I remember lots of things about her still particularly her long red finger nails she used to dig into me. She was the typical type of Texas woman of choreographed feminity that I loathe. However, I have no idea if she was liberal or conservative or Republican or Democrat since this was the 50s. What she was --- was not a nice person.

I had a lot of teachers in my life and I learned things from all of them--particularly the bad--how to not get sucked into their stuff. I even consider bad teachers to play a part in life so we don't think the world is our oyster.

What you are teaching me is to ignore anything you write because you have a very intense bias about what is and is not liberal. I would prefer you rethink this.

Oh, I think this teacher has pulled this crap before, and I base that upon the students having started filming almost a minute before the issue came up. For some reason they knew if they asked a question about some possible bad aspect of Obama that this teacher would go on a rant, and thus we have this video. It sort of reminds me of someone putting up with someone's crap behavior for a long time and calling them on it, only to have them deny it, so the one pointing it out starts taking notes, writing down dates and events to finally pull it out when the person denies it again. It's hard to deny cold hard facts, and most people don't start taking notes or recording people until they have proven how they operate.

Oh, I think all those things apply as well as the word liberal. I am sure she votes far left at every chance she gets as often as possible.

I am often called a liberal. Do you think this about me?

We have been fed a divisive bill of goods by those who would keep us down. Words like "liberal" and "conservative" have been provided along with prepackaged descriptions as to why we should hate them. As long as they keep us hating and fighting each other, we will not be Unified.

I invite you to not buy into the hate machine that is provided for you. Don't let them cause you to objectify and invalidate up to half the population of your country as something other than human that you can rage against and blame for all of our problems. This will not lead us to freedom.

You know WM I don't know you, so I would not presume to label you. It's funny, I know of zero conservatives who are insulted by being called such, but many liberals try to change the image they have created about that word. It's no longer vogue to use that term, but progressive. Now, progressive is not all that great, I wonder what they will come up with next. I bet you are much more a libertarian than a liberal, but that's just a guess on my part based on your time here.

Labels are difficult, but they exist for reasons of simplification. Some attributes may or may not fit, but that's where getting to know one another comes in handy. I just find it rather interesting that those who preach tolerance, when questioned they seek to shut up their opponent. I can see a very fast change happening should true power fall into the hands of the liberals or Rhinos. That's why they seek to shut up their opposition. Rhino's hate Ron Paul and Tea Party types. They don't want to allow true freedom, either side.

I'm a Commonsensican. It's a movement I founded. Very few members.

Pilotsimone,

I hate no one, but I also don't appreciate the lop sided attitudes many have here who have no problem insulting people who disagree with them, and that take great offense to my threads that just share facts about what I see happening. I think the vast majority of the problems in my country are caused by liberals who have subverted our constitution and neo-cons who have helped in order to line their pockets. The Democrat party is lock step with Marxist theology and plans. They pledge allegiance to the constitution and spit on it and wipe their collective arses with it. The very laws passed these past 20 years are clear proof of the traitors in office. Every one of them should be tried and judged for their crimes against their country and the world.

I've examined movements a long time and almost all new agers are liberals and they can say all they want that they seek peace, but they seek to not allow true freedom because the minute you point out a problem they have caused by their actions / votes they ridicule, demonize and shut opponents up. I believe the neo-cons are working lock step with the traitors who love socialism and believe in Marxist ideology. You have people here saying those words are no longer useful. Why, because the truth hurts? Look at the outcome of their policies in America. We've had a war on poverty and drugs for decades and thrown trillions of dollars at them, but are we any less poor? Are drugs no longer a plague on society? We are played from both sides. Keep us devided over common sense. War on terror to line the pockets of the war pigs and war on poverty to line the pockets of the welfare pigs.

So, my threads shine the light on the ways of the liberals who dream of a socialist utopia and are doing their damnedest to bring it about.

[bodhii71]

Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis)[1] is a political ideology or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[2] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally liberals support ideas such as constitutionalism, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, and the free exercise of religion.[3][4][5][6][7]
Liberalism first became a powerful force in the Age of Enlightenment, rejecting several foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as nobility, established religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. The early liberal thinker John Locke, who is often credited for the creation of liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition, employed the concept of natural rights and the social contract to argue that the rule of law should replace absolutism in government, that rulers were subject to the consent of the governed, and that private individuals had a fundamental right to life, liberty, and property.
The revolutionaries in the American Revolution and the French Revolution used liberal philosophy to justify the armed overthrow of tyrannical rule. The nineteenth century saw liberal governments established in nations across Europe, Latin America, and North America. Liberal ideas spread even further in the twentieth century, when liberal democracies were on the winning side in both world wars and liberalism survived major ideological challenges from fascism and communism. Today, liberal political parties remain a political force with varying degrees of power and influence on all major continents.

You seem to suffer from a serious need to label things.

You should consider getting that looked at.

Careful with the 'us vs them' labeling extremes. It's a good part of the problem that individually and collectively..brings us down.

Part of the psychology, for example, of tribal religions. Very dangerous stuff.

Why don't you say any of this crap to those who support bashing a particular religion or certain conservatives or any subject? This site is about truth and discussing issues. I have found an extreme lack of general honesty among some members here who always side with "liberals" and "New Age" typical concepts, and the also always seem to bash "conservative" ideals whenever possible. You can say all you want about labels, but when concepts are espoused by particular groups then by their actions they do fall within typical categories. Yes, perfect unity would be great, but I simply shine the light on certain types of hypocrisy. Balance is the key, but I find for some reason, a particular group believes balance is never revealing anything negative about their apparent groups which they line up with, and never defending things they don't like.

Carmody, do you have a suggestion for balance when I see a fairly regular disregard for respecting my views by a good number of people and they have no problem stating it, but whenever I stand up for my views and point out things that support them, I get labelled a hate monger, fascist, hater, divider etc.. Yes, we can have perfect peace when everyone lets the bully get their way. I once knew a girl who seemed to have the perfect family until one day I learned that her father regularly beat his wife, daughter, and son with a belt any time they did not obey him or disagreed with him. I was even allowed to see the imprint of the belt buckle on her back. Oh, there was unity and peace alright, but no freedom.

Yes, Lord Sidious was just on TV as he spoke about stamping out the rebels and bringing unity and peace to the Republic! Political correctness allows this sort of thing to progress, and then at some point we find ourselves in a dictatorship. Freedom with respect and self determination is what I believe in. I believe the world is falling into a feel good slogan hype that in the end will be just another prison system. I am a bit bewildered that people here cannot see this as a very small microcosm of our problems worldwide.

Some don't like my views and they have been most hostile and want me off the forum. I imagine the poor mods get notified of my threads all the time because they don't like my opinions, but I don't go around bashing members usually. So, just where is the tolerance and balance? I suppose it will come when people such as myself leave or just shut up and you all can have your little utopia on the web rather than really discuss issues in a fair manner.

US you seem to be preoccupied at the moment with Liberals, Socialists and Communists. Are you trapped in a time warp in the 1950's or something? Wake up please. Today in USA, there are plans where one side are plotting to take advantage of the NDAA law and create a false flag of civil disorder, in order to fill the FEMA camps with innocent citizens of USA, and another group who are trying to arrest the evil, good for nothing, thieving. murderous cabal banking paedophiles, and you are posting about liberals etc. You are not giving your attention to the immediate priority at hand dear. I am sorry to say but you are creating an unneccessary diversion which may cause the bad guys to succeed.
Give us here a break would you and desist from causing any harm to your fellow Americans?

Quite frankly, you stan prefer to ignore facts. Obama is an extreme liberal socialist Marx loving traitor. NDAA, false wars, stealing from the people, helping the big banks and business is all part of his game. Somehow you seem to not notice that it's just as much Liberal politicians carrying the water for the NWO elites as the Rhino Neo-cons. But, keep living in a false reality and dreaming of the day all the actions done today mean lollipop dreams tomorrow.

[ThePythonicCow]

Could we spend a little more time focused on the topics appropriate to this forum, and a little less time analyzing each others supposed deficiencies?

[bodhii71]

My Today is now yesterday, anyway, yesterday I was very... very angry. Full of rage, almost the entire day. A reason for which I cannot fathom. So much so, that I scared my children.
My now today, I feel much calmer, and thankful I am not living in yesterday. True story.
I acted out in a manner which was very uncharacteristic of my quite, kind, benevolent self.
Come to think of it, I've notice a cycle of undirected anger every couple of weeks...
Anyway, I'm a Commonsensican too. With a hint of extreme conservative liberalism.

George Kavassilas said in an interview I just watched, "We are treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed bull****". I just loved that and wanted to share it.
If you like true freedom and...
Unless you are nobility,established religion, absolute monarchy, archon,dark cabal, malevolent ET/ED,fascist, socialist....you might be a liberal.

So, what I meant to say, Is it seems the teachers emotional body seemed to cloud her professionalism, and was prompted by a few students in the class. Add a few knee jerk reactions from society and we have a trendy new story. Was this news worthy on the scale it seems to be growing?
