High school teacher tells student he can be arrested for criticizing Obama

[Torinoman]

I once had prof say to the entire class that "communism is your best bet" and it was so sad to watch every other person in there nod in agreement.

Should have just walked up nodded your head and then kicked him in his vagina. This Country isn't communist but he is more than welcome to take his winey bitch ass to one of the few remaining communist countries....like North Korea.

That fuckstick would have a blast there, why he could take the whole class along just to show how much fun it can be!

As far as college goes I think it all depends on what school of study you're in. I never had a single teacher I felt was pushing an agenda either way when I was in the Business school at UTA, however I took all my basics in jr college/concurrent in HS and managed to avoid taking any liberal arts type of classes.

My Cousin went to Berkley and it ruined him, went from being a good Catholic kid with a track/academic scholarship to a fuckstick tree hugging liberal pot smoker.

You didn't ask how it worked out for the Soviet Union?

Oh I did. He simply said that it wasn't pure communism. I would try to argue with him all the time about capitalist/free market vs communism/control market. He would usually just reply with something to the affect of I was programmed to believe a free market is better blah blah blah. I usually try to say something about there being no incentive in communism to improve or grow or make something better or to do things that are hard because there is no reward. He would usually try to say that people rather do what makes them happy rather than do what makes them money.

this was in a sociology class at mountainview community college

I had someone make that argument in class. I said "So, you're in a masters program why? Because it makes you happy or because it means money?"

Update 6:00p ET: The North Carolina high school teacher has been suspended with pay after the tape of her yelling at a student for criticizing President Obama went viral. The Salisbury Post reported Monday that district school officials suspended the teacher in the course of their investigation into the incident.

Oh yes, Section 403.12, The Knowingly Teaching Falsehoods clause, of course.
You stupid sack of shit.

I don't know why, but I busted out laughing when I read this.

That's pretty much what I got out of it.

I would agree that academia has a well-founded reputation for being geared to the far-left. For however much it's worth, some of the more brilliant and societal changes in thought come from those who are radicals who have wild ideas. Being conservative in thought process doesn't create great art, great science, or great writing. Its dissent from the norm. The problem is places like Berkeley or Columbia where the places are just overrun with liberal nonsense and crazy-go-nuts ideas that absolutely nothing gets done, no great art is created, and the only thing they produce is mega-vegan hippie students who are completely unprepared for being productive in society outside of making your coffee.

The whole concept of tenure was to protect professors from being driven out by their political beliefs, whether conservative or otherwise.

What is important for a good student as well is that you need to critically analyze everything you are told for its own merits, and for that matter i don't think high school teachers have earned the right to say whatever they fuck they want, like this teacher did. Good for the student to question her on her BS. Thats good critical reasoning skills.
