Sometimes schools take it too far though.
I've always wondered why the local schools (ultimate scum rate-they are some of the worst in the state) have brand new buildings, million dollar football fields, and brand new buses, but they fail to provide quality faculty.

I can agree with all of that

I have always thought that all sports should be extra-curricular. There are virtually no high school sports in Europe, just club sports.

We rank 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor force, and number 4 in exports. We lead the world in only 3 categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined. 25 of whom are allies.

Idk man... I've seen some girls that are pretty unbangable. Or at least to me.

Your standards are too high...if they have a pulse, I'm in!

You guys are slacking.

No personal identifiers on the teacher yet???

There's also no reason why the 16 year old girls shouldn't be required to take home ED, but we can win with everything.

""I'll side with you in this case. Mainly because I feel you're correct and they really don't have their own opinion. Even that one intelligent little girl (can't remember name, does youtube videos), I agree with her and her patriotism, but she has no real life experience quite yet.

x2, Even though she really shouldn't be wearing that""



I'm not the only one. There is no reason for sixteen year old girls to be wearing political t shirts to school. The chick can't even tell you what party her parents side with. You can get all butthurt and say " Oh noezz I can't send my kids to school with a obamy tshirt on, they are takin my rights" It's not that big of a deal. It's a school controlled thing, just as you can't send your kids to school with green hair, or you having to cover up tattoos. In school you should focus on learning anyway.

Sixteen-year-old Samantha Pawlucy used “dress-down” day at Charles Carroll High School to show support for the Republican presidential hopeful. She decided to support Romney after researching both candidates, and deciding that Romney’s opposition against partial birth abortion matched her views.

But when she showed up to math class wearing her Romney/Ryan shirt, Pawlucy was “embarrassed and shocked” by her teacher’s over-the-top reaction, reports Philly.com.

“The teacher told me to get out of the classroom, I said no,” Pawlucy told NBC 10.

“She told me to take off my shirt and said that she has another one if I need one. And then the teacher asked me… ‘Are your parents Republican?’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’ She said that’s like her wearing a KKK shirt,” Pawlucy said.

The teacher informed her that Carroll was a “Democratic school,” and called a nonteaching assistant into the classroom who tried to write on the t-shirt with a marker, Pawlucy said.

“I was really embarrassed and shocked,” Pawlucy told Philly.com. “I didn’t think she’d go into the hallway and scream to everyone. It wasn’t scary, but it felt weird.”

Her parents reported the incident to the school principal, who met with the teacher and parents on Monday. During the meeting, the teacher explained that she had been joking, but later stormed out of the meeting and left the school.

Against all logic, the unidentified teacher continued her bullying behavior the next day in class.

When Pawlucy went back to her geometry class on Tuesday, the teacher told students she could no longer joke with them because a student had gotten her in trouble, reports Philly.com.

“The teen said she was so upset by the teacher’s comments that she left the classroom and hid in the bathroom until the end of class,” the news site reports.

Pawlucy says some of her friends have stopped talking to her because she reported the teacher’s behavior to the principal.

The teacher has since been assigned to teach another class, and school authorities are conducting an investigation into the matter.

While they’re trying to get to the bottom of the t-shirt incident, we hope district officials also investigate how this institution of learning could employ such a close-minded, intolerant individual as a teacher.

This episode is about far more than politics – it gets to the heart of why public education even exists. Taxpayers fund public schools to help children develop the thinking and reasoning skills that are necessary to perpetuate our democratic republic. That even supersedes the need to prepare students for competing in the global economy.

So instead of humiliating Pawlucy for her views, the teacher should have praised the student for researching the issues and the candidates on her own. After all, how many 16-year-olds log off Facebook long enough to know there’s even a presidential campaign happening all around them?

But this teacher apparently disregarded all of that in order to mock a student for not thinking the “right” way. That doesn’t speak well of the learning culture in the Philadelphia school district.

We salute Pawlucy and her parents for standing up to her overzealous teacher. This kind of indoctrination and bullying nonsense is only going to stop if more students and parents have enough courage to speak out against the leftist bullies who currently control public education.

As the Carroll High School principal told Philly.com, the investigation all started “with the simple action of the parent calling the principal and complaining.”

Parents across the nation should take this example and run with it.

Oddly enough, taking that article at face value - she had a reason to like Romney that she can probably relate with.

I'm sorry, if I have someone yelling at me, they call someone to come at me with a sharp object, I'm going to wreck them both.

This teacher and that district need a lesson....an expensive one. I hope to hell the parents have already retained legal counsel and are filing two separate law suits...one against the teacher and one against the idiots who employed her. I'm not normally one to jump on the lawsuit bandwagon, but it's certainly called for in this case.

The teacher was Lynette Gaymon.

The Huffington Post is saying the teacher is a black female.

Students hurl obscenities at parents in t-shirt case

Samantha Pawlucy's parents were met by heckling students Friday who shouted obscenities through the open windows of Charles Carroll High School.

At the same time, a lone man who identified himself as a former district teacher and administrator paced in front of the Port Richmond school with a sign supporting the sophomore student for her right to wear a Romney t-shirt to dress down day.

Pawlucy claims she was harrassed by Lynette Gaymon, her geometry teacher and humiliated for wearing the shirt Friday.

The incident has gone viral and triggered reaction from both sides. Pawlucy says she's heard about threats from current and former students and seen them on Facebook and is afraid to go to school.

Her parents, Richard and Kristine Pawlucy went to the school today to file a complaint over the incident.

They were met by district officials who told them that the students would be talked to and urged not to bother Samantha when she does return to school on Tuesday.

When they came out of the building, they stopped to talk to Richard J. Junod, who identified himself to reporters as a retired teacher and administrator with the district. He said he had served in U.S. Marine Corps.

Junod said he saw the article about Pawlucy in The Inquirer and decided to come down to the school with a green chalk board on which he had written: "We support you Samantha. . .for bravery and courage while underfire..in defense of your American freedom."

When asked why he was carrying the sign, he said, "I'm a veteran - - I put on a uniform so that you and everyone around you can express your rights."

But, while the Pawlucy parents were speaking with him they heard heckling from students who were shouting obscenities at them and Pawlucy who was not with them.

Kristine Pawlucy wondered out loud what it would be like for Samantha in the school when she returns on Tuesday. Pawlucy will be escorted by family and friends, her mother said.

"They can't even control the kids right after they told them to stop," said Kristine Pawlucy.

Gaymon, the teacher, was reportedly not in school on Friday. Pawlucy and her parents said the teacher apologized during a meeting Monday but they questioned her sincerity. The family quoted Gaymon as saying that she had been joking and that Samantha should have known that. The teacher could not be reached to comment.
