Girl ridiculed by her teacher for wearing a Romney shirt

it's pretty messed up that they asked her to leave. like, i can see a teacher engaging a student in a conversation about Romney's politics, but not starting an argument.
nearly all of the teachers i've had in the past tried really hard to keep their political/religious affiliations secret from their students, even when directly questioned about them. i think it's a lot more professional than the alternative, and definitely a better course of action than being confrontational, insulting, and excluding.

Ha. Cuttlebone. My cockatiel likes those.

Anyway, about teachers keeping their beliefs secret... My teachers always made it so that there was absolutely NO way to figure it out. My government teacher kind of made a game out of it, and we'd always ask him cryptic, indirect questions about his beliefs and try to coax him into telling us (we were just curious), but he always caught it, and we never figured it out. I guess not all teachers are like that. confused

I'm personally for Paul, but I'm voting for Romney so the incumbent doesn't get another term.
Because, seriously. ******** all that liberal, false equality, kum ba yah bullshit.

I don't tolerate any kind of abuse from teachers. Physical, verbal, or otherwise... there is almost never a good time to harass your students like that. *shakes her head* While the girl is partially at fault for wearing a political shirt in the first place (you only wear a shirt like that to get a rise out of the people who disagree with you), the teacher should have remembered that they were an adult...

in before she's just like that woman who carved a backwards B on her face.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
DUDE, HIS NAME IS GAYMON?!
I WOULD'VE ******** KILLED FOR A TEACHER NAMED GAYMON. OH THE FUN I COULD HAVE WITH THAT.

Faux! You're back! heart

Hot damn, I've missed seeing you around here so much! gonk

I haven't been gone that long, have I?
Hmmmm... guess I haven't been on much since school started.

The student was being bullied for political reasons. What if it was an Obama shirt and a teacher did that?

I thought schools are supposed to teach students not to bully and not have the teachers bully them themselves.

If you're a Paul fan... Have you looked into Gary Johnson at all? Link to his website is in my sig. whee

Funny. Nothing surprising. Funny.

I've seen a few kids wear Obama shirts at my school.

I don't know why wearing a Romney shirt wouldn't be OK.

I think the Obama shirts are ridiculous.

[marshmallowcreampie]

That's stupid. Unless the shirt was offensive, she shouldn't have been moved out of class for wearing it.

I usually get so hopped up on coffee and nicotine that I'm too defocused to remember to punch them. Usually.

I don't think it was right what the teacher did
BUT
if your going to wear a shirt you know will
upset people be ready for some type of back lash.
BUT
with that person being a teacher, they should
have known there place and realized they where
an adult.
She is a child, influenced by her parents
and following in there foot steps. If you want
to "Show them the right way" in your own mind,
don't be a raging a** hole.

lolll but weren't the KKK democratic along time ago?

Yes, the KKK was founded by Democrats. The Democrats also created Jim Crow laws.
It was the Republicans who fought for racial equality and tolerance.
How history loves to repeat itself....

They're tolerant... Of people that agree with them.
Same can be said of a lot of Republicans, though.
